Talk:SPARTAN-B312

Background
This needs to be fixed, gender was just speculation:

SPARTAN-B312 is the main playable character in the upcoming game, Halo: Reach. To integrate player relation with B312, players can pick what gender they wish Noble Six to be with separately recorded voices for each gender. Of course, this is purely speculation based upon Bungie Weekly Update 3.05.10

"This next week, Lee Wilson joins us as we record all the mission and combat dialog for the main story Spartan characters and our male/female Noble Six voices."

—Urk

It should also be noted that there is no intimation as to when or how often a player may change his/her gender.

In that new interview with Aisha Tyler, she says she did alot of deathscreams.. possibly another intimation of gender change? I feel this is good proof for multiplayer, but it doesn't nessecarily mean anything for campaggin.

He's a male. Per canon. Just like with other games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I/II, while the player may be able to choose his/her gender, there IS an official "canon gender" that is used. Per S-312 (Noble 6)'s Personnel Profile, he is a male.

That Settles it Noble 6 is a Male, Because its Stated here http://www.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?cid=24530 and The version Bungie uses for Advertisements is Male.

Think of it as the Mass Effect Senario, You can chose the Gender of your Shepard, but the Canon version is the Male, because thats the one Made by the Studio, and is the one in all of the Advertisements

Six's gender still has no definitive canon. The report does not state one, and the picture is there simply to have one. Mass Effect also just uses default male Shepard so to have something to show. Aside from unavoidable options, nothing is truly canon except to each individual player. To announce youselves Six is male as canon seems extremly presumptuious and based on nothing but a default picture. Shizukomaru 06:46, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

spartan tags
i think we should remove the company tags from the spartans of noble because, even tho they are spartan IIIs, they do not belong to a company, 312 and kat were taken out of beta company, therefore they do not warrant company tags. as with carter, emile and jun they were from alpha company, which no longer exists, they are now noble team. besides, since the fact that they are spartans IIIs is no longer a debated fact and has been confirmed by multiple sources, bungie would come righ out with it and put spartan tags on their pages, right. so i vote we remove the company tags cuz there have been no sources that give company tags. befere i make the change, you can vote, i will decide to make the edit at the end of march if the majority of the people support it Ghost mactavish 05:28, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I find myself agreeing with this. So far, there's been no official source that refers to the Noble team Spartans with company tags. Whatever the reasons for this are, for me at least it seems pretty clear they don't have them. Not anymore at least. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 13:03, March 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Beta company ceased to exist, but Tom and Lucy kept their tags.--  Fore  run  ner  13:08, March 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * So they did. But I don't think they're relevant in the discussion of the members of NOBLE still having their tags. For the first thing, Noble Team is a team of elite operatives, almost entirely separate from the rest of the Spartans. Second, I've said it before and I'll say it again: If the Spartans of Noble Team still had their company tags, why doesn't any, and I mean any, official source make a single mention of them? Not even the official B.net "personnel reports" that seem to contain every other bit of information about them. I've never questioned that whether they originally belonged to those companies, nor if they originally had their company tags. I'm only drawing conclusions from everything we've seen so far. I just like sticking to official material, that's all. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 13:24, March 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I respect your opinion. I believe that BUNGIE decided not to use the company tags because it would be too confusing to the gamer. Soren-66 wasn't a SPARTAN-II, but he trained with them, so he deserves a tag.--  Fore  run  ner  13:29, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

"Not even the official B.net "personnel reports" that seem to contain every other bit of information about them."

- Jugus


 * I remember back then (January? before it was announced the squad to be composed of S-II and S-IIIs) that Bungie wanted to keep the identity of Noble Team a secret. If they supplied the company tags, it would ruin the whole fun and mystery.-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 14:34, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * ya but its not a mystery or a secret anymore, is it. its completely confirmed canonGhost mactavish 05:15, April 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * You're completely missing the point, she meant that if Bungie gave away the company tags before the revelation that they were S-IIIs, then that would ruin the revelation. - Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343   ( Talk )   ( Contribs )   ( Edits )  07:04, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

i understand that perfecctly, but the fact is that it is widely known information that these spartans are third generation, its after that revelation,and still no sourceeven makes a mention of company tags

PS. i tried to make the edit but ascention blocked me--Ghost mactavish 01:26, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Navy vs Army?
The page says that Noble Six is affiliated with the UNSC Navy, however, S-IIIs are Army, and I thought that Noble Team was also confirmed Army by the NOBLE Team Performance Report?


 * Possible oversight by the devs maybe?Someguy789 00:15, March 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Spartans of Noble team (along with all Spartans) are orginally affiliated with the Navy. In the case of Noble Team, they work closer with the army, but are still Naval personel. Just look at their ranks, if you are unsure. Nowhere but the Navy does there exist a Commander Rank.


 * The S-IIIs have numerous contradictions. Gamma Company's SPARTANs were all Privates, for instance.--  Fore  run  ner  21:41, March 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's originally an ONI-funded and controlled project, so the actual Spartans have a connection to the Navy. Many officers in charge were from other branches though. Possibly after the initial generations, more and more control was given to the Army that originally kickstarted the project. Perhaps Beta Company was the first to use Army ranks thanks to a withdrawl of ONI's presence in the program. Nobel Team may be an anomaly for now.--Nerfherder1428 11:56, March 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * They may simply be considered affiliated with both, but during Reach they are under the command of the Army. Sierra 003 22:55, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Might have been an oversight by Bungie, but he's definitely Army, All Lieutenants, regardless if its 1st, 2nd, junior, etc, are called Lieutenant.


 * I don't think so... I'm sure they intended him to be Navy, like all other SPARTANs (with the possible exception of Gamma company). Remember that while John-117 was naval, he fought alongside marines instead of operating onboard a vessel.--  Fore  run  ner  19:17, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry I forgot to include the page on Emile from Bungie, where it states that they are Army. As a side note...the Chief's a corpsman? Who knew? (This is in refernce to the fact that naval corpsmen fight alongside marines.)

B312?
I was just looking around on bungie.net and it said that this spartan III is S312 not B312. CFV-88 22:27, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

That's because he is from beta company of the spartan III's. The "s" stands for spartan. FatalSnipe117 01:28, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Sort of on a similar note, I was wondering if anyone could cite another example of a spartan who has a letter in front of his/her name. usually it's just something like 'spartan 117' therefore, S-117. - TheDudeMarky

Birthdays
Three members, B312 included, from Noble Team all have the same birthdays? Highly unlikely. Isn't it more likely that ONI falsified the birthdays?  DavidJCobb  22:29, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably, but we have no evidence of that. -- Lord Hyren 05:44, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure he isn't S-II?
S-293’s 1156 has been filed since 22/04/2552, every active duty Spartan-II is on XXX for special training, and it seems that XXX wasn’t able to keep his own private grim reaper out of the pool—only time will tell if this luck is of the good or bad variety.

Taken from his details on Bungie.net Reach project page... don't want to start an argument again, but I figured I'd mention this? DarkbelowHGR  CommbandD  03:13, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

I Think we have gotten past that you (the player) will play as Spartan-B312, a Spartan III Comando, the only Spartan II on Noble Team is Jorge..... 76.211.2.221 14:47, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

I always thought that was just talking about Reach and Kurt the spartan II who trained the threes.Someguy789 16:09, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

LOL
Has anyone else noticed that in the article it talk about Noble 6's previous superior saying that her gender is unknown then pulls out some quote calling it a he. I thought this was funny cause the sentenses are literally next to each other.

"Additionally, S-B312 seems to have been assigned to Noble Team despite the wishes of his/her former superior who is said to have used S-B312 as "his own private grim reaper"."

- The quote in question?

If that is the case, you misread. B312 is either a male or female depending on player choice, but his/her former superior was a male, probably Ackerson. 112 01:35, April 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * That would actually be really awesome if Ackerson had an in-game role. And it makes damn good sense that that would be the way Ackerson would use use Noble-Six. Flayer92 22:29, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Birthday
New Waypoint intel is out on Noble Team, with individual bios on each member. I believe they are all identical to the Game Informer bios, with the exception of Noble Six, who's birthdate is redacted like the rest of his information. I think it's safe to say that Game Informer just slipped and gave N6 kat's birthday too. I've gone ahead and changed the article. If there's some reason it should be changed back that I'm unaware of, feel free to do so of course. -Proconix 13:01, May 29, 2010 (UTC)Proconix

Death
Does anyone else believe that He/She's Gonna survive Reach or die? I myself Believe he/she, along with his/her team, Are gonna die, But What does anyone else think? 76.244.151.225 19:59, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * No...spartans never die, their just missing in action, sry couldn't resist


 * The sir above who didn't press the signature button, I salute you for awesome timing! But, still, Reach was annihilated, the Pillar of Autumn is the only human vessel that managed to escape we know so far, but since Bungie retconned, I dunno. It would be a different ending to a Halo game, seeing a planet glassed while actually on it. Though it will leave a sour note, Halo: Reach being the last Halo made by Bungie, or so they say. Now that I think about it, didn't they confirm it indirectly in a ViDoc or something? It went along the lines of "Even though it's a lost fight, we (Bungie) want to make you feel like you're fighting the good fight." It didn't go exactly as written, but it was similar. Can't wait for 9/14! 80.222.44.24 16:55, June 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Autumn WASN'T the only ship to escape. I believe there was an ONI person who escaped, like 7 SPARTANs escaped on a ship, etc. So it is possible they escaped, but they most likely died when the planet was being glassed.Thank you taking time to listen to my post! 19:17, June 22, 2010 (UTC)!!


 * Thanks for the additional info. I apologize for the lack of info, perhaps my older post was a bit "know-it-all." But still, two ships and their crew, some soldiers, an ONI spook and a handful of spartans still fall into the category of annihilated, considering Reach was one of the UNSC's main producers of military hardware and ships. Hafta buy the new Halo books, once they become available to me. About the question at hand, yes, that is a good point and once you think about it, it seems unlikely that the entire Noble team will go M.I.A, but we'll just have to wait and see what Bungie's come up! 80.222.44.24 22:34, June 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Correcting the poster above you, nine in ten ships were destroyed during the battle. One tenth of the Reach fleet managed to escape to Earth. That means at least fifteen warships - I don't know how many passenger liners, freighters, private vessels etc. would have escaped, but its a pitiful amount of military vessels. The Spartans who escaped Reach that he was talking about were rescued by a time travelling Master Chief in a Covenant ship, and are now either dead or on Onyx - the rest of the "regular" Spartans died on Reach. That probably doesn't count Noble Team, since they weren't on any official Spartan rosters or tallies. --  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   10:43, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Might i add that first of all you guys get annoying dleting everything ._. 2nd lil title line there'll be another time are u guys blind and 3rd when elites are beating him down camara moves to his helm and in the background there's a ship in the background with a lighting flash meeeeeeeerf u guys are oblivous.--- hM4873

Noble 6
Noble 6 should redirect here. Can someone do it for me?--70.71.240.170 11:16, June 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Done.-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 15:30, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

6's Silence
The article still says that Noble 6 never talks but I was under the impression that he/she did speak, and I think it was confirmed in weekly update 6/18/2010 where they also confirmed Firefight 2.0. Not sure if I'm right, otherwise I'd go and change it. 82.45.116.95 16:36, July 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * It is confirmed that Noble Six will be speaking in the cutsecenes. But I'm not sure if he/she (depending on the player's choice) will talk in Firefight 2.0 --Invincibilityhud.svg Ultra Force  16:40, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * WHERE Did It confirm Noble Six will speak? I am highly SURE that he WILL NOT be speaking (Bungie wants YOU To be Noble Six, you can't assurt yourself as him If he speaks) 69.221.168.182 03:26, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Noble 6 is a Firefight voice. Its pretty hard to be a voice but still not speak :) Que   Sera,  Sera
 * As a Firefight Voice? Mostly grunts from Pain and jumps 99.51.93.24 20:59, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * He's right. Simply having a "voice-actor" does not mean you speak. It just means someone was hired to add sounds to the character. The Rookie had a voice actor, yet he never spoke. Nothing states he will or will not speak in Halo: Reach, however. XRoadToDawnX 06:12, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah but the effort of mentioning both male and female voice actors warrants more than grunts and pain sounds, don't you think? - TheLostJedi  03:31, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nothing more than speculation. Sure, it could be interpreted as such. But it could have also been done to appease to anyone who wanted to know if Noble Six was going to be exclusively a guy in campaign. Nothing can be said otherwise until confirmation. XRoadToDawnX 19:17, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well here is confirmation that 6 does in fact speak. Obviously don't watch if you don't want any spoilers.  Jacktheinfinite101 21:49, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well here is confirmation that 6 does in fact speak. Obviously don't watch if you don't want any spoilers.  Jacktheinfinite101 21:49, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Canon armour
Due to the customisation of B312's armour, all images if this SPARTAN will be different. In the Beta, Mark V[B] came as the only armour available at the beginning - leaving the others to be unlocked later. This system will likely be the same in the release version. If so, we may have to keep images consistant with this, and take images of (for example) B312 in Recon as non-canon and to be removed from the biographical section and infobox (though allowed in the gallery). -- Forerunner 18:08, August 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd say we should allow pics of B312 in default armor only, even in the gallery. That is, no images of B312 in custom armor allowed at all. Mainly for the sake of consistency, but also because Bungie has used the default armor in most of their official screenshots and thus, it's the most "canon" one we can have. --Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 18:23, August 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed - the only non-default I can find was when Bungie was howing us that customisation wa acknowledged in cinematics.-- Forerunner 19:33, August 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree, though we should allow both male and female variations on the page, as long as they retain the default armor. I would not like Halopedia to fall into gender favoritism or stereotyping. - Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343   ( Talk )   ( Contribs )   ( Edits )  22:16, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

So, just to make sure it's clear for everyone who's going to ask about this later, that means that, for the sake of this article, Noble 6 is all default armour in black, but can be male or female. That sound right? Alex T Snow 15:20, August 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Gender doesn't appear to have a default setting. The colour is definitely black, yes. Pink-Flaming Recon with a flower design on the shoulder pad would just look terrible as an infobox image. Furthermore, you can also make yourself look exactly like one of your fellow Noble team members - two Jorges in a gallery picture would just be confusing.-- Forerunner 15:25, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Funny you said Jorge, cause he's the only one you can't be, I guess you could make a mini Jorge though ;) Alex T Snow 08:43, August 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually you can't be Kat either because of her arm--210.56.88.32 04:06, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, you can. Her prosthetic arm is an armor permutation. Que   Sera,  Sera  04:09, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seriously? That's awesome. Can it be either arm? Or both? Or just the side hers is on?--210.56.88.150 05:48, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can? Cool, it'd assume you would pick it like shoulders, that would make the most sense. Where is it that we were shown or told you can though? Alex T Snow 11:53, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * In the Reach Beta, some players would suddenly have their armor change (either after they die or when they respawned) and they would have armor characteristics that couldn't be unlocked in the Beta. On one of them that I saw, on a legitimate video of the Beta, there was a Spartan who had a prosthetic arm (among other things) on the wrong arm. There wouldn't be a design for the prosthetic limb on the other arm if it wasn't a permutation. Another notable example i can find is here. Its number 1 on the countdown. Que   Sera,  Sera  14:40, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

I know we just got through agreeing on an armor standard, but should we again consider the HUL helmet attachment that Noble 6 has been consistantly been shown to use? We have almost as many sources with the attachments than we do without, so this is difficult decision. It's in the VGA trailer (our first look at Nobel 6), and at least part of "The Battle Begins" TV spot. The trivia section on this page (erroneously) says that official material since the VGA has been devoid of this attachment. However, that is simply NOT the case.

Recent evidence shows that the official action figure has an equipped HUL and 312 is shown with it in the very recent live-action "Deliver Hope" cinematic as well. These alone are huge hints that we should at least reconsider our previous agreement. The fact that Bungie is still using the attachment in advertising media is enough in itself to warrant a discussion. --Nerfherder1428 15:28, August 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's not B312; that's the previous Noble 6 - Thom. Take note Kat's lack of her distinguished prosphetic arm, and the SPARTAN's orange paint on the back of his torso. This looks like the telling if how Thom died. Would the player character really die half-way through the battle?--  Fore  run  ner '' 16:02, August 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * This was also pretty much confirmed by Bungie here. He says that it's "their (Bungie's) perspective", which pretty much means it's the perspective we're supposed to take as canon. --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 16:18, August 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I just realized this. Sorry for the confusion!--Nerfherder1428 20:29, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

I've added an image of Noble Six from the Video Games awards trailer (ie - with the HUL attached), for informational purposes only; depicting bungie's original portrayal of Reach's protagonist before we had any idea that we would be able to fully customise six's appearance (and gender). I think at least one picture of Six with the HUL attached is important, as this was the original portrayal of Six, by Bungie, not just in the Awards trailer, but also in most of the early campaign screenshots. It should be noted that some of the other pictures of six in 'default' armour have the FJ/PARA knees attached as well.

noble 6 talking cont.
i read the article about the first cutscene for the game and noble six does say like two short lines68.7.78.20 14:43, August 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * We know. - Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343   ( Talk )   ( Contribs )   ( Edits )  12:10, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Class
We've been basing our assumption that 312 is a Beta Company Spartan off of Jorge's comment in the trailer introducing Noble Team, but that line apparently doesn't exist in the final game, and without it we seem to have little other evidence pointing to 312 as a Beta Company Spartan - he certainly seems much younger than Kat. His official dossier doesn't state class, or even age. He may be a Gamma Company Spartan. mY point is that we don't know, and until we do, we should move the article to simply SPARTAN-312 and alter references to the character. --  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   11:22, August 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, we have more solid info to clarify that he/she is indeed from Beta. And even then, if he/she were from Gamma, they would be underage, and would have a lot of problems when portrayed in a video game. As in "over protective parent video game activists campaigning to ban the game" problems. - Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343   ( Talk )   ( Contribs )   ( Edits )  11:29, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

When Dr. Halsey says "Hyper lethal, hmm, only one other SPARTAN with that rating." Is that one other SPARTAN John-117??? --Kluutak 21:21, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * More than likely it's meant to be an offhand reference to John-117. That line is there for the players, from an In Universe perspective, John isn't really that great of a soldier, he was just a lucky one who got a lot of positive press. --WhellerNG 21:15, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * John killed thousands of Covenant. I agree that it's a nod to fans, but he is an elite soldier. Tgor  365  21:24, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * No more than any other Spartan. People have it up in their heads that John-117, as he's the protagonist of the first 3 Halo games, that he's super awesome and the best there ever was. He isn't. He's good, yeah, but he's not the best. --WhellerNG 21:30, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * His luck and awareness kept him going. He did the most. He survived the most. He killed the most. He saved humanity. Maybe he had no more athleticism than the rest, but he accomplished more on the battlefield than any other human, and that makes him the best soldier ever. Tgor  365  21:39, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Date of Death
Noble 6 dies on the 30th of August 2552 after fighting off wave after wave of elites. Someone should put it down. REach Out 07:57, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Because his fate was not recorded by any UNSC forces, he was probably listed as MIA, one of the few Spartans to be listed as such. Sierra 003 03:01, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

To me, Lone Wolf ends with Six being crowded by a bunch of arguing Sangheili. Teh Halfblud 16:22, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter if no one saw him die. He still died on screen, making him dead because the players saw it happen. --WhellerNG 16:51, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * You don't know for certain that he dies. It is heavily implied but you don't see the final blow, the camera cuts to a view of the helmet just as the elite strikes. It's possible that he dodged it. Bryn-118 21:42, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * You don't know for certain that he dies. It is heavily implied but you don't see the final blow, the camera cuts to a view of the helmet just as the elite strikes. It's possible that he dodged it. Bryn-118 21:42, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Dr.Halsey confirmed he died. "Your body, your armor, all burned and turned to glass.." now has anyone survived being glassed? it is possible he dodged it, but it is impossible he survived being Glassed. John Yautja 21:45, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

I think it is possible he survived, I mean, he could have been captured. Imprisoned and tortured aboard a Covenant ship, and then managed to escape. (Or he found another way off Reach) So what if Cortana/Halsey says you die, you could very well be alive, because she wasn't there, was she? Just like how Hood and The Arbiter weren't there with Master Chief, who was also assumed to be dead. So, I don't think we should put anything about Six's death up until we get an official source on it... besides, the subtitle of that level is "There Will Be Another Time"... a hint I think.

Now back to the reason I came here, I think somebody needs to tidy up the page, and probably put the quote by Dr. Halsey / Cortana somewhere up, the very last quote of the game, explaining Noble Six's "Victory" --Kluutak 03:35, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

*sigh* He's dead. End of. Raven&#39;s wing 08:24, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

It's impossible he lived, he may have survived the initial attack, but, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OFF REACH For this Spartan, True, he could of got Captured, but the Elites are Smarter then you give them Credit for, they would lock him up, he would haved to be saved by someone else (Truth and Reconcilliation anyone? Remember those Marines couldn't get put)), he would of Died a couple ways: Dehydration/Hunger, Glassed, Captured and killed to name a few, and that WAS Dr.Halsey, not Cortana, it said in the Subtitles "Dr.Halsey: BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH" he's dead, I take Dr.Halsey's Confirmation as Proof, and, sure she wasn't there, but STILL, Bungie couldn't show B312 getting Stabbed in the face, NO, That would be WAY to Gory (Even for Halo), and it would show his face for a Moment, yes, Bungie HEAVILY IMPLIDE Noble Six died, oh, and "There'll be another time", is refering to Master Chief's time, not Noble's own, Bungie don't need to say it unless you weren't bright enough to see, cause: On One hand, it cuts as a Energy Knife is seconds away from his Face, and on the Other, if he is Chuck Norris he'll Live, SURE, but I am pretty sure he died, he was crowded by Enemies, so if that Field Marshal/Zealot didn't get him, then others would,

TL;DR: He's Dead. Sorry, but I agree wth Raven's Wing. John Yautja 09:10, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Regardless of if he lived or died, there is no way for Halsey to have known if he/she died or not. She wasn't planetside, and even though she says all your armor is burned to glass we can clearly see the helmet remaining exactly as Six dropped it. [[User talk: x MibZ x|x MibZ x|] 3:10, October 2nd, 2010 (UTC)

They show the helmet to show you died, Canonically Noble Six's armor and Body were glassed and destroyed, what, did you expect Bungie to just show a Glassed ground with no Helmet? Halsey Canonically didn't know he died, but Bungie has there ways of telling you "Hello, That fagwad is dead", its almost as stupid as the "Emile is alive!" Discussions elsewhere, also, No, in the Mission "Lone Wolf" the helmet could've been dropped ANYWHERE, but always shows up on the mountains, this could mean the Helmet probably got blasted and flew off into one of the glassed mountains General direction, avoiding the helmet being destroyed by glass. John Yautja 10:01, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

I know that he is almost certainly dead, but I think that we shouldn't take Haley's conformation as proof as she says "your body, your armour, all burned and turned to glass" yet we see a shot of his helmet intact (except for some damage to the visor) so if she was wrong about the armour it is possible she was only speculating on his death. Another thing is how did his helmet survive a glassing? Bryn-118 20:09, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

 * Epileptic Trees, Bryn. Halsey herself says Noble Six dies: "I only wish you could have lived to see it", the implication is completely there, and how on Earth could a person survive being shot and energy sworded to death by over seven Sangheili? The covenant don't take prisoners, they just kill them. Bottom line, it takes too much speculation to think that Noble Six could have survived when Halsey herself says he died. Noble Six is dead. Period. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 20:20, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why are you people even considering he's alive? You and I both saw him get stabbed in the chest with the energy sword. BTW, Halsey is talking in 2589. -- CoD addict (talk · edits) 20:24, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

 * Might as well say Master Chief is dead too since there is now way he can survive a crash from that high in orbit. --Kluutak 23:26, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

B312 did and he was fine. So has the Master Chief, at the beginning of Halo 3. It's perfectly fine for a Spartan to survive that, and it's never been seen anywhere at he fell from orbit, he may have gotten onto another ship, or been captured or something. But with B312, we have him with no shields, no health, breached armor, and lying bleeding on the ground surrounded by three Zealot Elites with energy swords, not to mention Catherine Halsey herself saying he died. If there's anything more obvious than that, I don't know what is. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 23:39, September 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I guess nobody would survive that. =P Put Master Chief in his place, with the same armor, and he'd be screwed as well? Also, does this mean Noble Six is sorts the reason the UNSC found Halo, unlocked its secrets, and stopped the Flood, and is thus sorta the hero of the Halo series? --Kluutak 13:27, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

He is the hero, it seems. He passed on the torch! Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 02:40, September 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I believe its a probable that Six died, but also a possiblity six survived.
 * One you dont see six get stabbed, never mind his death, the elites also had no shields who knows what happened, but the main point is, you dont know.
 * Two helsy/cortana whoever it is, is most probably assuming six is dead considering what happened to reach.
 * Three, if he survived it would not be impossible to escape i imagine there are some ships around somewere cappable of ftl. Four, and those that say if six survived the elites the Lt would not survive the glassing of the plannet, firstly they dont glass the plannet all at once, second they are not gona do it convieniently after six's fights over, thirdly, considering the state of the land, and the fact that six's helmet is still perfectly intact, they did not glass that area to begin with.
 * Bungie are clearly leaving this open to speculation as both the possibility of six's death, or continuation are possible.
 * And lastly everyone thought Johnson was dead after fighting that elite, while the piller of autumn went nuclear a couple minutes later right next to him. But look how that turned out :)(Raiken1992 02:00, September 22, 2010 (UTC))

Raiken, see Occam's razor Then consider whether which is simpler, that Noble Six died because he was wounded, on the ground bleeding, without shields and with breached armor, and surrounded by fresh, battle-hardened, Sangheili Zealots with Energy Swords, or that he somehow managed to kill them all barehanded and more, then limped about all over the place still bleeding and weaponless, somehow averting both Covenant surveillance, aircraft, and Scarabs, finding some random ship that somehow was somehow still operational and not disabled by a search party AND with a Slipspace drive, managed to it past an orbital Covenant fleet blockade that was bombing the planet at that very moment, and then somehow chose not to go back home and regroup remained unnoticed by the UNSC for over thirty years so much at ONI holds an entire commemeration funeral for him not knowing he ran off who knows where for no reason. Sounds too covinient? It probably is. With Johnson it was a retcon, that clip was never canon. Occam's razor says Noble Six died, therefore Noble Six is dead. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 02:55, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

One you dont know if noble six's armor is breached or not or even if six is injured badly atall from the few plasma bolts, and another  thing, halsey met up with some other spartans later on reach who eventually escaped with the help of master chief and other survivors from installation 04. Jun went with halsey after sword base, but he isnt with her when she is at castle base later, or even reffered to, not even as some random spartan, because all the spartans are mentioned and told there names, so jun did not go with halsey in the end, but according to bungie, he survived reach. and that means he must have escaped reach on his own. I would think after he escorted dr halsey, which was what he was ordered to do. He would want to meet back up with noble team, and maybe saved six. Also the level discription is "spartans never die, there just missing in action...." thats a big hint. And considering all the above points i mentioned in the previous post. concluding all that putting it together, u can see bungie are throwing hints at the possible survival of six. Im not saying that this is the case. But you got to realise its a possibility. (Raiken1992 13:38, September 23, 2010 (UTC))

@ Tuckerscreator: Occam's razor deals with hypotheticals. Assuming the game's ending is all we have to go on -- and as far as I know, it is -- the most this page should say is that it is "heavily implied" that Noble 6 was killed by the swarming Elites. Don't get me wrong, as things stand, I think s/he died there too (and, if not, then DEFINITELY when the planet was glassed)... but, however heavy the implication is, we don't know that. Not yet, anyway. ;) Uli Talk 16:12, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

@Raiken1992, Jun was ordered to protect Halsey, even off-planet, so one can say Jun left with halsey and got off-planet (Remember, the Books came first, so they can be Re-written), Noble Six on the other-hand was killed, "Spartans never die" is just the title of the mission, Referring to how Noble Six will die, but no matter what, he will be reported as MIA, your Jun Saves N-6 fanfiction is never gonna happen, atleast not from Bungie, but 343 Industries is full of bullshit, so give them a call and you'll get to make "Halo: Reach 2: Noble Six Survives!"

Why has this page been locked? There is a mistake that states "In the upcoming game." But Reach is already out. Can someone/anyone fix this?

Well, since there is debate over Noble Six's "canonical gender," I have come up with a solution. In the article, we could say that there aren't sufficient records to determine Noble Six's gender, therefore leaving it up to the reader's imagination. We could also do so for the armor. --  CoD addict  ( talk ) 10:05, September 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nah. It's more one of those interpretive things where it is left for the player to decide and the athor's to remain mum on the subject. Anyway, the canon has never stated that nobody knows Noble Six's gender, they obviously do, the way they talk about him/her, and hiding it would be useless as they could easily tell through Six's armor or through Six's voice(Note how on Veronica Dare's Bungie.net profile, despite being ONI her gender is the only part that is not classified. Again, it's because one look and even through armor it should be obvious.) Unsufficient records is too much of a fan answer, therefore I'd say it's unneeded. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 17:47, September 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Noble Six's canonical gender is male. PS: I added something interesting to the trivia if you wanna check it out.--Kluutak 13:34, September 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Incorrect.- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk )

Exactly. Noble Six has no canon gender, Kluutak. It's just we're using male pronouns as that is the grammatically correct way of referring to someone who is of unknown gender or is neutral. Just spelling. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 14:52, September 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * The same situation has been going on at Mass Effect Wiki for years. Instead of using a male/female pronoun, just use "The Lieutenant", "Six", or "Noble Six" Matt 2108 15:30, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Will do. Of course, this just for when it's necessary, such as when there is a quote or the summary demands it or something. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 15:42, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Erm, I noticed this when I was playing on legendary as a male Noble Six. I'm not sure who it is (one of the bungie staff I presume) but look at the reflection of his helmet

Hyper-Lethal? Please...
Why is he hyper-lethal? He gets raped by 7 Sangheili easily, whereas in Halo: Uprising John-117 kills a whole room full of Brutes in like 5 seconds, and the members of BLUE Team were easily more "hyper-lethal" than this pansy. Seriously, give that rating to the SPARTANS that actually deserve it, like those of BLUE Team. Seriously what makes him so "hyper-lethal"? I fail to see his awesomeness considering John-117 could wipe the floor with him to the far rim of the Galaxy and back with little to no effort... --Regal Zero 13:25, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can't be serious. Noble Six did the one thing Master Chief never could, look death in the eye, give it the finger and say, "You want Reach? Its right here buddy." Master Chief was always afraid of death. Why do you think he always escaped? Because he was determined to stay alive. Six was not, Six knew that the lives of trillions of more Humans superseded his, including the Master Chief. Yes, The Master Chief does have fear, he just never shows it. Noble Six has no fear, and because of that, Noble Six is automatically the better soldier, because he puts others first, sacrificing himself and Noble Team to save Cortana and his Chief ass. Besides, Master Chief killed all those Brutes because he had LUCK, not SKILL, another contributing factor is because SPARTAN-III children were chosen from a wider pool of candidates they were only about 3/4 the strength, speed, and reflexes of IIs, so, yeah... think before you speak, bub. --Kluutak 13:38, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sigh....another Zealous John 117 fan, Regal Zero, you just insulted yourself on so many levels, first you call yourself a Pansy (NOBLE SIX IS BASICALLY YOU), then you call yourself weak, anyway, its all dependant on the player, Noble Six got The fragment of Cortana to the POA, and allowed the POA to get off Reach, and Sure he got beat my 7 Sanghelli soldiers, but the battle that leads up to his battle with those 7 is what counts

 * Noble Six could've fought 700 Sanghelli Generals before being too worn out to continue the battle, you have to think of these things, during the Mission LONE WOLF, you can fight until you are attacked by a S***load of Generals, and have they ever sent that many after SPARTAN 117?, your comparing him to Genetically better SPARTAN II's, compare him to Regular SPARTAN III's, not II's.
