->'''Debuted in: ''VideoGame/HaloReach'' ("Deliver Hope" trailer only)'''

* YouAreNumberSix: The original "Noble Six".

* WeaponOfChoice: His ShortRangeShotgun. Funnily enough, the in-game AI for Emile seems to think it has a much greater range than it actually does. Cutscenes indicate that he's also fond of grenade launchers and his kukri.

* WeaponOfChoice: He is most often seen carrying an Assault Rifle, with a Pistol as a backup. Although he also carries a Designated Marksman's Rifle only slightly less frequently.

* 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. In the actual events of the game he only actually uses it in combat once, [[spoiler: during his death scene as he stabs an Elite Zealot in the throat with his last breath.]]

* KnifeNut: Being the first protagonist capable of pulling off flashy assassinations on Covenant, it's possible to play Six as a spine and skull stabbing menace.

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:''ComicBook/HaloInitiation'' reveals that he's the only member of NOBLE to survive the Fall of Reach. This also makes him the only known survivor of Alpha Company.]]

A fourth company, Delta, was in the process of being assembled for training when the war ended, but [[FridgeHorror the fate of the candidates remains unknown for now]].

* ArtificialStupidity: While he's invincible as an allied NPC and he's pretty good once in effective range, but his AI seems to forget he's holding a [[ShortRangedShotgun shotgun]] and not, say, any other weapon with a range of more than 7 feet. He'll blow enemies away once he's close enough, provided you're patient enough to let him figure that out on his own.

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:''ComicBook/HaloInitiation'' reveals that he's the only member of NOBLE to survive the Fall of Reach. He may also be the only survivor of Alpha Company, though the fates of two other SPARTANS from the company, Rosenda-A344 and Kevin-A282, are unspecified.]]

A fourth company, Delta, was in the process of being assembled when the war ended, but [[FridgeHorror the fate of the candidates remains unknown for now]].

As the war with the Covenant dragged on, a highly secret project headed by [[ColonelKilgore Colonel James Ackerson]] began with the purpose of creating more easily producible and disposable 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. Due to their roles as disposable suicide troops, most [=SPARTAN-IIIs=] were given cheaper "Semi-Powered Infiltration" (SPI) armor.
* Alpha and Beta, the first two companies, consisted of atleast 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.
* Gamma, the third batch, whose actions 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.]]
* Delta, the fourth and final batch of recruited children, was only mentioned as being on-route to Onyx, but [[FridgeHorror their fate is unknown]].
A small handful of [=SPARTAN-IIIs=] were chosen for and survived additional training became "Headhunters", two-man teams dropped fast behind enemy lines for more targeted suicide missions. The best [=SPARTAN-IIIs=] were considered of similar capability and strategic value to [=SPARTAN-IIs=], so were reassigned away from the suicide squad roles, assembled into strike teams along with the [=SPARTAN-IIs=], and given MJOLNIR armor like the [=SPARTAN-IIs=].

* PoweredArmor: Subverted with SPI armor, which provides only marginal physical enhancements. Played straight with those that got MJOLNIR armor. After the war, most of the surviving [=IIIs=] play this straight, having switched to MJOLNIR [=GEN2=].

* SuperSoldier: Their augmentations and training make them among the greatest soldiers in human history, outshined only by the Spartan-[=IIs=]. Except for the best Spartan-[=IIIs=] who were considered the equals of the [=IIs=].

** [[Webcomic/HaloAFistfulOfArrows Some have taken upon themselves to explain what happened to him...]]

* ArtificialStupidity: While he's not only invincible as an allied NPC and he's fairly good at avoiding danger, his AI seems to forget he's holding a [[ShortRangedShotgun shotgun]] and not, say, any other weapon with an effective range of more than 7 feet. He'll blow enemies away once he's close enough, provided you're patient enough to let him figure that out on his own.

* 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. In the actual events of the game though, he only actually uses it in combat once, [[spoiler: during his death scene as he stabs an Elite Zealot in the throat with his last breath.]]
* KukrisAreKool: Has one strapped to his shoulder. Players can unlock the pauldron for their very own Spartan.

* MilitaryMaverick: Downplayed. He has a tendency for overkill that annoys even his direct superiors, plus a rather extensive collection of contraband, but Holland notes that he actually maintains strict discipline off the field.

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Crashes a Pelican into a Scarab to save what's left of Noble Team.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Dies to ensure what's left of Noble can complete their mission. To be fair, he was already gravely wounded, with his ship already starting to fall apart.]]

* ForegoneConclusion: Right in the very first cutscene of the game, not only is Reach an utter hellscape of fire and smog, but Sixs helmet is abandoned and shatter in an empty field. His odds for survival were never high to begin with, and the final cutscene only confirms his fate.

* 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]] going by the [[MaleGaze camera]] [[FemaleGaze angles]] Noble Team tends to find themselves in during cutscenes.

* KnifeNut: Being the first protagonist capable of pulling off flashy assassinations on Covenant, it's possible to play Six as a spine and skull stabbing menace, as inconvenient as it'd be.

* {{Unperson}}: Due to the highly classified nature of several operations he took part in, his very existence was redacted to the point that when a statue featuring the members of Noble Team was made, SPARTAN-B312 was left out.

* ActionGirl
* ArtificialLimbs: Her right arm is mechanical, the first example of one in a ''Halo'' game.
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:How she dies.]]

* FatalFlaw: [[spoiler:According to her supervisor's reports, Kat suffers from a relative lack of situational awareness, which cost her arm in a previous mission. It ends up costing her life on Reach.]]

* TheSmartGirl: Good with computer systems and a brilliant tactician.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: For all the armor armaments and accessories you can unlock to outfit your Six, they don't do anything to gameplay other than let the player customize their interpretation of Noble Six.

* KnifeNut: Being the first protagonist capable of pulling off flashy assassinations on Covenant, it's possible to play Six as a back and skull stabbing menace, as inconvenient as it'd be.

* OneManArmy: Six is the only Spartan aside from the Master Chief to have the combat rating 'Hyper-Lethal', and has erased entire insurrectionist groups from existence single-handedly. During the final cutscene in ''Reach'', ''[[{{Determinator}} he is taking on multiple high-ranking Elites in close quarters combat]]''.

* WeaponOfChoice: He is most often seen carrying an Assault Rifle, with a Pistol as a backup. Although he also carries a Designated Marksmans Rifle only slightly less frequently.

* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"You're on your own, Noble. Carter out."]]

* FamousLastWords: "How are you sure we're alive?"; granted, she isn't dead, but these were still the last words she ever spoke. [[spoiler: Until ''Glasslands'', that is.]]

-->''"I'm ready! How 'bout you?"''

* WeaponOfChoice: The main weapon he has in cutscenes and at the start of levels varies between the Assault Rifle and Designated Marksman Rifle. Also, the Pistol is his standard starting sidearm.

* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: Despite having a plasma sword shoved through his back, he wrenches himself around on his killer and stabs him in the neck, [[TakingYouWithMe making sure that the Elite died with him.]]
