Biography
Carter was born in Durban, Biko on August 27, 2520 and was later conscripted to the Spartan-III program, presumably in Alpha Company in 2531. He later became the leader of Noble Team, and has pulled them out of enough impossible scrapes to earn the loyalty of his teammates. Carter and Kat-B320 are the only survivors from the original team, and share a close bond as a result.

Trivia

 * With the rank of Commander, Carter-A259 is the highest ranked Spartan.
 * Carter's date of birth would make him one of the oldest Spartan-III's. The majority of the trainees for the first class, Alpha Company, were four, five and six years old when the project began in 2531; Carter would have been 11 at that time, making him nearly as old as most other Spartan-IIIs were when they 'graduated'.
