Jerome-092

Jerome-092 is a SPARTAN-II Commando of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command. He was a member of Red Team and fought alongside the crew of the Spirit of Fire in early 2531. He has been known to carry a Spartan Laser and is designated as a Sniper. He is thought to be one of the leaders of Red Team.

History
Jerome was born around 2511 and was of a genetic make-up that the Office of Naval Intelligence and Catherine Elizabeth Halsey were interested in. After being selected as a suitable candidate for the SPARTAN-II Program in 2517, he was abducted and sent to Reach, where he was specially trained to be a soldier.

Jerome was a member of Red Team during the Battle of Arcadia and was tasked with stopping the Covenant long enough to evacuate the civilians of Arcadia. Afterwards he and Red Team linked up with forces from the Spirit of Fire and assisted in a counter-attack on a Covenant outpost. Once the plan to infiltrate a large Covenant shield is passed down from Captain Cutter, he and Red Team remained with the crew to assist with the assignment. He prevented the destruction of several prototype Rhinos while they ensure the shield is destroyed. This allows the to bombard the inside from orbit and Spirit of Fire forces neutralise the threat. After the capture of Professor Ellen Anders, he and Red Team travel with the Spirit of Fire to a mysterious planet and assisted the Spirit of Fire crew in neutralising Covenant and Flood forces. Once Jerome assisted in destroying a Proto-Gravemind he and Red Team become stranded on the planet. With the Spirit of Fire being dragged down inside towards The Apex, Red Team was assisted by the forces of Sergeant John Forge and successfully withdrew to the ship. Red Team then assisted the crew in scouring the Flood forces from the hull of the Spirit of Fire and successfully repaired the power core when it was damaged.

Once Anders was rescued, Jerome assisted Red Team in capturing a Covenant Scarab and used it to help Forge capture the area. He is then tasked with ensuring the Spirit of Fire's Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine makes it to the teleporter. Once the area was clear, Jerome volunteered to take the slightly-damaged drive in and ensure it's destruction. Sergeant Forge, believing that Spartans would play a bigger part in the war than he ever could, takes the place instead. Jerome (with the Spirit of Fire crew) was then charged with opening the gate which allowed the Spirit of Fire to exit the Shield World.

Once the Spirit escaped the destruction of the planet and the crew was put in Cryo-Chamber it is assumed that he does too.
