Biography
Spartan 144 "Nicholas" was a recruit of the Spartan II program. He passed successfully and began performing the dangerous missions of a Spartan with a 97% success rate. Much like Linda His unique role in a squad was his unnatural skill with any sort of blade, particularly the Energy Sword, and in one case, he single-handedly held off an entire battalion of Grunts while on a mission to rescue a ODST squad stranded behind enemy lines. They all managed to escape, and 144 earned a reputation among the Armed Forces as a compassionate commander who was willing to sacrifice his own life to make sure his squadmates made it home. He was one of the few Spartans to gain the complete respect of the ODSTs. His participation might have turned the tide at the Battle of Reach, but he was one of the Spartans too far to recall in time. Unfortunately, his cruiser was attacked on the way to Earth, and he died holding off the boarding parties until the crew could evacuate. He died honorably, sacrificing his life for his men with his blade in hand.
