Emile-A239

Emile was born in Luxor on Eridanus II in 2523. When he was very young, his parents were killed during Insurrection activity. Subsequently, his older brother took care of him in Luxor. In 2530 his planet was glassed by the Covenant and his brother sacrificed himself so that Emile could escape; this event had a profound impact on him. Orphaned, he was conscripted into the SPARTAN-III program as a part of Alpha Company. Discovering that he could fill the hole in his heart with the corpses of the Covenant, Emile quickly adapted and excelled in his training. Emile graduated from the program at the age of 13, though his aptitude was such that he was removed from the general population of Alpha Company by Kurt-051 and Franklin Mendez before Operation: PROMETHEUS in 2537 (which resulted in the deaths of most members of the company) to be used for tasks that required a more skillful hand.

Some time following December 2551, Emile was assigned onto NOBLE Team to fill the spot left by the departure of Rosenda-A344 after the defense of Concord, taking on the callsign Noble Four. Despite this, on March 9, 2552, Colonel Urban Holland still considered reversing this placement in the event that an operation against Insurrectionists was to come up, due to Emile's noted excessive violence in combat against human rebels. In April of that year, Emile fought alongside NOBLE in the Battle of Fumirole in an assault on Sanctity of Purification, a Ket-pattern battlecruiser which had taken position over the planet's capital city.

He'd later witness Noble Six being inducted into Noble Team.

He favored an aggressive and loud approach to combat, wanting to prove to everyone that he was not afraid of the enemy nor was he afraid of doing whatever was necessary to win the war. He did what he did because he knew that it could potentially break the enemy's will to fight, not necessarily because he enjoyed it. The one personal action Emile took to signify his victories were the scratches he made on his visor - each of the hundreds of marks that make up its skull-visage in order to threaten the Covenant opposition at first sight.

Emile was noted to have had the most difficulty interacting with non-Spartans than any other member of Noble Team. He treated civilians with suspicion and disregard, which led to confrontations between him and the more empathetic Jorge. Despite his hard outlook, he held a deep respect for his teammates.

Emile typically wielded an M45 Tactical Shotgun and occasionally used an M319 grenade launcher, for which he always carried grenades. His signature weapon was a large kukri knife that he sheathed on his right shoulder pauldron.

Emile's Mark V[B] armor consisted of the Assault/Sapper chest piece, the Assault/Breacher wrist utility, Security right shoulder piece, Operator left shoulder piece, Tactical/SOFT CASE utility, and FJ/PARA knee guards. The most distinct piece of Emile's armor was his helmet, a EVA helmet with a HUL attachment, featuring a skull Emile had carved into the faceplate. The skull is made of hundreds of individual scratches, each signifying a member of the Covenant he has killed.

The SPARTAN-III program was a secret project initiated by the Beta-5 Division of the Office of Naval Intelligence's Section-III in order to produce cheap and expendable super soldiers to fight for the survival of humanity and the United Nations Space Command's colonies.

The Sh'wada-pattern supercarrier , is a powerful supermassive capital ship and one of the largest vessel classes formerly used by the Covenant, primarily designed for command and control duties for fleets, as well as support for occupation forces. Ket-pattern battlecruiser is an intermediary warship. It is frequently used, surpassing all other Covenant vessels numerically.

The MA37 assault rifle is a standard-issue automatic rifle utilized widely by the United Nations Space Command.

The Sangheili, or "Elites" as they are known by humans, served as the military leaders of the Covenant. The Sangheili are the only race within the Covenant permitted to build and command starships within the Covenant, though the crews are always composed of a mix of races. The Jiralhanae, or "Brutes" as they are known by humans, were the most recent addition to the Covenant, and served as soldiers and bodyguards within the Covenant military. The Lekgolo are a race of worm-like creatures that can combine to form large, intelligent assemblages called Mgalekgolo, known by humans as "Hunters". Clad in nearly impenetrable armor and armed with their trademark Assault Cannon, they served as the Covenant's heaviest ground troops. Hailing from Balaho, the Unggoy, or "Grunts" as they are known by humans, were the most common and low-ranking caste of the Covenant. They breathe methane gas, and thus must wear a large tank on their back full of methane to survive on other planets. The Kig-Yar, or "Jackals" or "Skirmishers" as they are known by humans, were the scouts and marksmen of the Covenant military due to their superior senses.

The Human-Covenant War was instigated by the High Prophets of the Covenant following a discovery which led them to believe that humans were directly related to the Forerunners, contradicting their ancient religion. Seeking to keep various political and religious orders intact, the High Prophets declared a holy war of genocide against the human species, and the discovery of their relation to the Forerunners was kept a secret. With superior firepower, numbers and technology, the Covenant would repeatedly overpower the UNSC across hundreds of human-inhabited worlds, including the heavily defended strongholds of Reach and Earth. Humanity would win only scattered and costly victories.
