Carlo Hoya

"Hoya happened to Hoya."

- Demarco in response to Palmer's inquiry on Hoya's injury.

Hoya is a SPARTAN-IV member of Majestic Squad in the Halo 4 series, Spartan Ops.

Departure
Hoya's first appearance is in the company of his fellow Spartan-IV team, Fireteam Majestic, as their shuttle approaches the the UNSC Infinity, six months after the Didact's attack on New Phoenix. An enthusiastic speaker, he tells Gabriel Thorne about the incident in Rio de Janeiro involving the influx of Covenant seeking asylum and a incident concerning a Sangheili terrorist trying to set off a HAVOK bomb. He was presumably "on the other side of town" for the latter event according to Paul Demarco. He insensitively states that Rio was fortunate to have avoided the grim fate of New Phoenix, unaware of Thorne's connection to the city.

As Majestic disembarks, they are greeted by Roland, the ship's AI, who instructs them to line up and wait for an escort. DeMarco and Madsen then spot an imposing brunette marching up to them, the former deciding to make a pass, claiming to having seen her first. But then he found out she was Commander Sarah Palmer, leader of Infinity's Spartans, causing DeMarco to fall back in line and ordered his team to salute. Palmer then ordered them to stand at ease and to follow her. Hoya let out a small chuckle at DeMarco's humiliation.

Fireteam Majestic arrived in the area of Infinity nicknamed Spartan Town, where they received their Spartan armor. Palmer addressed all Fireteams, explaining their mission to clear out the Covenant Remnant out of the Forerunner Shield World Requiem.

Artifact
During a sweep of Requiem's canyon's, Fireteam Majestic encounters an influx of Promethean Knights who proceed to ambush them. When Madsen gets hit in the shoulder, Hoya goes against orders and leaves cover to attack the nearest Prometheans in his sight. He returns to the Infinity alive on a stretcher, injured from a attack he was unable to counter. Despite his present situation, remained optimistic about his recovery.
