Not all characters are created the same. Some could have epic trilogies written about their exploits, some merely exist to support others, and some are little more than interesting ideas in search of a narrative to live in.

Covenant: Sitch: Middle-aged Jackal sniper, previously employed by the 68 Dasim of Eayn Dragoons. He is a deadly shot with a rifle, but he has a blustery personality and can't help but crow after a particularly tricky shot. He is well respected by Quatch because he taught Quatch and many other mercenaries the tricks of survival on the battlefield. Somewhat inspired by Hickock45.

UNSC: 7th Force Reconnaissance Company: Need to figure out what MEU they are with, and if the UNSC is still organizing Marines into MEUs. 2nd Platoon, commonly referred to as Demarest's Degenerates, is notable for the amount of shit they pulled off behind Covenant lines, and how many of them went on to serve notably after the war.
 * Captain Beatty Demarest: Officer in charge of 2nd Platoon. Mercurial, sadistic, and convinced that the Insurrectionists are an existential threat to Humanity just as the Covenant is. May have been involved in a conspiracy to strand refugees from the Outer Colonies in the path of a Covenant assault. Almost supernaturally good at reading people. Fate undecided, but it's bad news if he survived the war.
 * Joseph Barnes: A mustang active in the HCW and post-War era. From 2542 to about 2548, he served in a Marine Force Recon unit, the 7th Force Reconnaissance Company. Would later go on to OCS and join the ODSTs. He commanded the ODST platoon assigned to guard Lord Hood during the Battle of Earth.
 * Diego Guittiere: A Marine active before and shortly after the war. He had a more direct path into the ODSTs, serving in the Battle of Johannesburg and the later capture of the station over Reach.
 * Georgy "Gui" Montag: One of the most proficient snipers in the Marine Corps, he would leave in 2547 to join the Civil Defense Force of his homeworld. He survived the fall of Siberia Prime with grievous injuries and joined the ODSTs in 2550. His increasingly erratic behavior reached a peak during the Parapet Crisis, when his company was forced to storm a frigate that had been captured by Insurrectionists. Montag was transferred out of the ODSTs and stationed as an instructor at Camp Keel. He is thought to have died there, but stray reports saved by CTN0452-9 indicate that he may have fought on Alpha Halo.
