Cameron IV-03

OVERVIEW Cameron IV-03 was one of six Spartan-IVs and functioned as the deputy and vehicle operator of the team.

BIOGRAPHY Before becoming a Spartan-IV, Cameron served in the UNSC Marine Core. In 2549, Cameron and Saul IV-01 were stationed at a UNSC outpost on Madrigal which came under attack from Covenant forces. During the evacuation of the outpost, Cameron worked with Saul to minimize casualties as the UNSC escaped the outpost.

By late 2556, humanity was deeply entrenched in the Second War, a stalemate conflict against Shipmaster ‘Kodomee. Cameron was one of six soldiers called upon to join the Spartan-IV program, an initiative designed to bring a swift end to the war. As a result of the program, Cameron was biologically augmented with enhanced strength, speed and reflexes, and was requisitioned a suit of Mk VI MJOLNIR Assault Armor. He gained the service tag IV-03 (four oh-three) to denote his position as a Spartan IV. By February 2557, Cameron had finished training with his new body and armor, and was designated as the team’s vehicle specialist.

Over the next few days, Cameron and the other Spartan-IVs (Saul, Jake, Katherine, Christian, and Gabe) took part in operations against Shipmaster ‘Kodomee’s forces, conducted by Commander Lawrence Harper. After their first mission against the Elites as a team, Saul promoted Cameron to deputy leader of the Spartan-IVs. Unfortunately, during a mission which successfully eliminated ‘Kodomee's right-hand commander, several of the Spartan-IVs were killed, including Cameron, who perished when the Elites detonated an antimatter bomb near his position.

PERSONALITY Cameron was a good soldier, but suffered from nervousness, even after becoming a Spartan. He questioned his own prowess as a soldier, and later wondered if the Spartans still counted as humans. Saul was quick to relieve his worries, and in return, Cameron was there to comfort Saul after Harper’s death. When the situation called for it, Cameron never hesitated to step up. Cameron’s confidence in Saul was great and helped balance out his nervousness. While Saul was briefly separated from the other Spartans, Cameron took charge and kept the team from unraveling, reminding them to have faith in their leader.

ABILITIES AND EQUIPMENT As an augmented soldier, Cameron possessed greater-than-natural strength, speed, resilience, and reaction times. He was well versed in operating both land and air vehicles, such as Warthogs and Hornets. He was flexible in his loadout, using either the MA5D Assault Rifle or the BR55 Battle Rifle. Cameron wore a Mk VI MJOLNIR suit painted olive green with orange highlights.
