Jorge-052

"Career soldier—but then all the Spartans are, aren’t they; inspires confidence in those around him—he is a combat multiplier!"

- From Jorge's performance report.

Jorge-052 is a SPARTAN-II Commando of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command.

Summary
Like all Spartan-IIs, Jorge has seen almost thirty years of action and shows no signs of breaking or slowing. Described as being very difficult to read, he is free with his opinions, vocal in his support of provincial self-rule, and just as vocal in his condemnation of the separatist and insurrectionist movements. He is the only member of Noble Team that has seen as much action, if not more, against human militants as Covenant forces.

Conscription
Jorge was born in Pálháza on Reach on March 5, 2511, and was abducted and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program by Dr. Catherine Halsey in 2517 when he was six years old. On Reach, he was trained by the AI Déjà and Chief Petty Officer Mendez along with the rest of the Spartan children. In 2525, he and the other candidates underwent a series of augmentations to improve their strength. Jorge was among the candidates that survived and was not maimed or killed by the procedure.

Battle of Reach
He served with Noble Team as Noble Five during the Battle of Reach in 2552, being the team's heavy weapons specialist and the only Spartan-II on the team.
