Biography
Romeo was born in the Castra arcology in Castra on Madrigal in 2524. Before enlisting in 2541, he served in the UNSC Commercial Fleet as a Merchant Marine. He was a consummate combatant but also saw himself as something of a ladies' man, but was often described as a "wiseass and a dick". He served in the same squad as the Rookie and was the squad's marksman.

He is good friends with Dutch, the squad's heavy weapons specialist.

From what info is given so far, Romeo's Beacon appears to be "a Sniper Rifle, hanging on a lamppost."

Trivia

 * One of the beacons in Halo 3: ODST is Romeo's sniper rifle with a prominent bend in it.
 * Although born on Madrigal, Romeo's name and appearance hint his East-African descent.
 * In the cutscene prior to the level Mombasa Streets, Romeo shakes his Sniper Rifle and its scope guard moves. This is in contrast to every other Sniper Rifle seen, in which the scope guard remains completely stationary.
 * He woke the Rookie up by hitting him in the head with the stock of a Sniper Rifle.
 * Romeo is unlocked for use in Firefight by getting the NMPD HQ achievement.
 * According to his Career Service Vitae Romeo enlisted when he was only 16 years old. This is considered the minimum legal age by the UNSC, as Sergeant John Forge enlisted at this age (as stated by the Halo Wars strategy guidebook).
