History Characters / HaloSpartanIIIProgram

* SuperSoldier: Their augmentations and training make them among the greatest soldiers in human history, outshined only by the Spartan-[=IIs=].

* SixthRanger: The newest addition to Noble Team, and the player character.

* YouAreNumberSix: Referred to solely as "Noble Six" in ''Halo: Reach''.

* Alpha and Beta, the first two companies, consisted of 300 Spartans each and were almost completely wiped out in {{Suicide Mission}}s save for a small number reassigned to other units, most of whom die later anyways.

As the war with the Covenant dragged on, a highly secret project headed by [[ColonelKilgore Colonel James Ackerson]] began with the purpose of creating many, many more Spartans to combat the ever closer threat of extinction. Convincing hundreds of revenge-hungry orphan survivors of glassed human worlds to join, ONI put the children through TrainingFromHell in an effort to create a force capable of halting the Covenant advance on human territory, even at the cost of said children's lives. The first two companies, Alpha and Beta, consisted of 300 Spartans each and were almost completely wiped out in {{Suicide Mission}}s save for a small number reassigned to other units, most of whom die later anyways. What Gamma, the third batch, did during the war is mostly unknown, with the exception of the [=IIIs=] who fought on Onyx, but we do know that the company was disbanded after the war. Most were integrated into the newly-formed Spartan branch, although ONI realized that placing them in public view would be a PR nightmare and reshuffled them into covert roles, while others still were [[PetTheDog placed back into noncombatant status.]] There was a fourth and final batch of recruited children, Delta, mentioned as being on-route to Onyx, but [[FridgeHorror their fate is unknown]].

* DuelWielding: Briefly wields his assault rifle in one hand and his pistol in the other [[spoiler:during his final stand.]]

* TheFaceless: He never takes his helmet off.

* KnifeNut: In the trailer, his only significant role is sharpening his knife, which is ordinarily visibly strapped to his shoulder, on his armor. It seems to be his signature weapon, alongside the Shotgun.
* KukrisAreKool: Has one strapped to his shoulder.

* ColdSniper: His last psychological evaluation describes him as having an "unhealthy emotional detachment in regards to the consequences of his actions", though Colonel Holland disagrees with this assessment.

* DyingAlone: [[spoiler: Fitting his lone wolf personality, Six is the last living member of Noble Team on Reach and promptly dies alone in one hell of a Last Stand against an onslaught of Covenant soldiers and armor.]]

* HartmanHips: If you choose Six's gender as female, she's given a very feminine and curvy figure. This is likely done so there's a physical purpose for the customizable gender mechanic, and maybe also [[MaleGaze something else]] going by the camera angles Noble Team tends to find themselves in.

* DroppedABridgeOnHer: [[spoiler:Compared to the deaths of her squadmates, her death, killed via sniper, comes off as rather mundane.]]

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:''ComicBook/HaloInitiation'' reveals that he's the only member of NOBLE to survive the Fall of Reach.]]

* AcePilot: Sometime before his assignment to Noble Team, Six was involved in the testing of an experimental shielded space fighter called the Sabre, and ''Reach''[='s=] manual states that it was his talent as a pilot that got him noticed by Colonel Holland. This seems to be there to justify him jumping into one of these craft during the course of the campaign to take the fight to the Covenant in orbit.

* HartmanHips: If you choose Six's gender as female, she's given a very feminine and curvy figure. This is likely done so there's a physical purpose for the customizable gender mechanic, and maybe also [[{{Fanservice}} something else]].

* TheQuietOne: While Six isn't a HeroicMime, he is damn close to it.

* IWorkAlone: Has a history of going solo in missions. Carter is quick to call him out on it. Though it may just be a matter of preference; Six works integrates into Noble team without problems and works well with all of them.

* IWorkAlone: Has a history of going solo in missions. Carter is quick to call him out on it.

* OlderThanTheyLook: In order to produce as many Spartans as quickly as possible, the candidates were pumped with various steroids and growth hormones to accelerate their maturity, resulting in soldiers who looked like Olympic athletes but were barely in their teens.

* BioAugmentation: They were given augmentations that were a "quantum leap" compared to the [=Spartan-II=]s' augmentations.

* SuperStrength: As provided by their physical augmentations. Particularly true with the frontal lobe modification given to Gamma Company, which boosts their strength even more under pain and stress.

* DeathFakedForYou: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Literature/HaloLastLight'', ONI officially lists her and the other members of Saber KIA, reassigning them to a black-ops unit referred to as the "Ferrets.]]

* DeathFakedForYou: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Literature/HaloLastLight'', ONI officially lists him and the other members of Saber KIA, reassigning them to a black-ops unit referred to as the "Ferrets.]]

* DeathFakedForYou: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Literature/HaloLastLight'', ONI officially lists him and the other members of Saber KIA, reassigning them to a black-ops unit referred to as the "Ferrets.]]

* LastStand: [[spoiler:How he dies. And (canonically) it was one heck of a fight; eventually involving an entire Covenant army, numerous tanks, airships, and some of the Covenant's best troops, all directed at '''one soldier'''. After probably ''several hours'' of combat, a group of Elites finally manage to corner Six on a hilltop, but the Spartan still takes down about a half-dozen of them before finally being overwhelmed in close combat.]]

->'''Homeworld: CLASSIFIED'''

* TheCameo: Is a fully playable character in ''Gears of War 5''

* HiddenDepths: WordOfGod is that most of his apparent sadism is just an act meant to frighten the enemy (and convince himself that he has the stomach to do whatever it takes to win). [[invoked]]

* TheCameo: Is a fully playable character in ''Gears of War 5''

** IronicEcho: This ends up being exactly what happens in Halo 4; Halsey gets shot by a Spartan IV after it's discovered she was captured by Covenant Remnant forces.

* SociopathicSoldiers: While [=ONI=] claimed the [=IIs=] also suffered from this, ExpandedUniverse material bore out that the [=IIIs=] were far more likely to display "sociopathic tendencies", considering their hatred for the Covenant and being trained for {{Suicide Mission}}s, with Gamma Company [=IIIs=] in particular being at risk due to their augumentations if they didn't receive the necessary drugs. Notable that the most unstable SPARTAN shown in the games, [[VideoGame/HaloReach Emile]], is a III.
