== Halo: Combat Evolved through Halo 3 characters ==

 

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]- The highest-ranking Spartan-II ({{spoiler|except for Lieutenant-Commander Kurt-051, eventual Lieutenant Junior Grade Fred-104, and Chief Warrant Officer Grade 5 Jorge-052}}) and arguably the best.

** After the war, he was ({{spoiler|"posthumously"}}) given the rank of "Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy", the highest enlisted rank in the UNSC navy.

{{quote|'''343 Industries:''' A Spartan tossing his chest plate should feel like an anvil dropping… A Spartan sprinting across concrete should be a stealthy whisper... Putting on your helmet should feel like powering up an F-15E.}}

* [[Born Lucky]]- Many people have stated that John is extremely lucky. Cortana even states in Halo 3 that, of all the other Spartan soldiers, she personally chose John because of his luck.

* {{spoiler|[[Go Mad From the Isolation]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Madness Mantra]]- "UNACCEPTABLE! UNACCEPTABLE! ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!"}}

* [[Obstructive Code of Conduct]]- He appears to be serving the Forerunners (who are gone) and helping the 'Reclaimers' (which he doesn't do a good job at).

* [[Smug Snake]]

* [[The Chessmaster]]

* {{spoiler|[[Cutscene Boss]]}}

** {{spoiler|And so, you must be silenced.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]- The Arbiter gets his revenge.}}

(''Servus Ferox''<ref>"Wild Slave"</ref>)

* [[Exclusively Evil]]: At least the Elites had a few semi-decent characters...

*** Ironically, the same game's Sangheili Arbiter is a [[Blood Knight|raving whirlwind of violence]] who doesn't care for honor or pride. Go figure.

** Maccabeus (the Brute Chieftain from [[Contact Harvest]]) also seemed to genuinely worship the Forerunners without blindly following orders. {{spoiler|His nephew Tartarus has some words with him about that...}}

* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Have likely consumed ''at least'' one other galaxy already before ever setting foot in ours.

 

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: They programed the Halos monitors to destroy anything that would threaten the Halos. {{spoiler|Which goes a long way to explaining why Spark killed Johnson in [[Halo 3]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[Fantastic Racism]]: Many view themselves as better than everything else. The protagonist in ''Cryptum'' (a young Forerunner) mentions that his teachers impressed upon him that humans were little more than animals. When he meets them he sees this is not the case.}}

* [[Neglectful Precursors]]: {{spoiler|Subverted hard. They did the absolute best they could.}}

** {{spoiler|Play straight in ''[[Halo Cryptum]]''. Some would consider them [[Abusive Precursors]].}}

* [[Planet of Hats]]: Their hat would be hypocrisy and possession of massive superiority complexes. They subvert it more than other species on this page though.

* [[Precursors]]: And ''they'' had precursors of their own, whom they called... [[Shaped Like Itself|"The Precursors"]].

* [[Time Abyss]]: {{spoiler|The Timeless One was imprisoned for millions of years.}} ''Cryptum'' states that Precursor artifacts can be so old that tectonic shifts on planets unearth them after millions of years.

* [[Tomato Surprise]]: {{spoiler|Didact is rather shocked to find out that the Timeless One is actually a Gravemind. The creature's dialogue is very cryptic, but it seems that it is not a true Precursor. When Didact asks what happened to the Precursors, it tells him that those that the Forerunner defeated fled or survived in hiding, referring to them as something apart from itself.}}
