Tink Carter

Sergeant Tink Carter was a UNSC Marine and ODST. In 2552, he was assigned to the Pillar of Autumn as part of First Lieutenant Melissa McKay's unit, as the Company Sergeant. When the vessel came under Covenant attack, he "helljumped" to the surface of Installation 04 along with the rest of the men in a Human Entry Vehicle.

After landing, Major Antonio Silva ordered McKay to take an enemy controlled mesa that would later become Alpha Base. Carter was present during that assault and served as McKay's tactical second in command during the operation. He displayed many roughneck personality traits similar to Sergeant Johnson. As the tactical second in command, he would not often stay near McKay, as he was not allowed to. Tactical second in commands are always ordered to stay several men away from the first in command, so they cannot be both killed by a grenade.

He is not mentioned afterwards, but he is KIA in all probability, as there are numerous opportunities for him to die at the Halo.
