Badass Baritone has been disambiguated


* BadassBaritone: Morgan Dale gives him a fairly deep, standoffish voice. [[WordOfGod Jacob Whittington]] specifies in the "Looking Back" video that he was looking for a [[VideoGame/RepublicCommando Sev vibe]] when casting Gabe.

Weapon Of Choice is now a disambig


* WeaponOfChoice: The sniper rifle, fittingly enough.



* WeaponOfChoice: The shotgun, which compliments his preference for close-quarters combat.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: Despite their tense relationship, Katherine and Gabe are more alike than they realize. Both suffer from [[DarkAndTroubledPast Dark And Troubled Pasts]] in which they've witnessed their teammates die, and has greatly affected their psyches.

->'''Appearances''': ''Generation'' | ''Omega Halo''
The new [=SPARTAN-IVs'=] commanding officer and mentor figure.
----

* TheCameo: He appears in ''Omega Halo'''s epilogue, where he reunites with Saul in the afterlife.
* AFatherToHisMen: His care for the [=IVs=] is almost fatherly-like, especially between him and Saul, who takes his death the hardest.
* TheMentor: For the new [=SPARTAN-IVs=], especially Saul. [[MentorOccupationalHazard Unfortunately...]]
* MentorOccupationalHazard: He suffers this fate at the hands of 'Thalashee when he attacks the base.
* ParentalSubstitute: He was Saul's father figure for most of his career.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While Saul's superior, he has enough faith in his leadership abilities to allow him free reign when it comes to handling the squad.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Maybe I can save humanity, maybe I can't. I don't know but I promise, I won't quit trying until I can't or I don't need to."'']]
!!!'''Species''': Human
->'''Voiced by''': Jacob Whittington
->'''Appearances''': ''Generation'' | ''Omega Halo''
The leader of a new team of [=SPARTANs=].
----
* AndThisIsFor: Right before taking down the Shipmaster's shields to allow Grey an opening, he has some choice words for him:
-->'''Saul''': You sicken me, Shipmaster. You're a tyrant and a murderer. So this is for Earth, for my squad, and for the thousands of humans that you've killed!
* BigBrotherInstinct: He plays the role of a strict older brother towards his squad, but especially towards Katherine. He goes outright ''berserk'' when the Shipmaster seemingly kills her.
* {{BFG}}: He starts lugging around a SPARTAN Laser in ''Omega Halo''. He's ''very'' proficient with it.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: After all the fighting, pain, and loss he endured over the series, Saul finally gets to rest in peace, reunited with his fallen teammates, and his actions allowed Katherine to survive, so that she may continue to save others, thus continuing the cycle to save humanity.
* TheHero: Moreso for ''Generation'', as the plot largely focuses on him coming into his own as a leader and stopping 'Thalashee.
* HeroicBSOD: Falls into a pretty bad one when Harper is killed by 'Thalashee, and since Harper was like a father to him, he takes it harder than anyone else. Fortunately, Cameron helps him out of it with some encouragement.
* HeroicSacrifice: Saul is badly wounded saving Katherine from a Flood form and starts bleeding out. Knowing he would just slow Katherine down, he decides to stay behind and hold off the Flood.
* ItsAllMyFault: He blames himself for the deaths of his squad. He believes he'd let them all down when he promised they would make it through together. Fortunately, his worries were put to rest when he was reunited with them in the epilogue.
* ItsPersonal: His drive to kill both [[ItsPersonalWithTheDragon 'Thalashee]] and the Shipmaster stems from them killing those close to him. 'Thalashee killed Harper and Gabe, while the Shipmaster killed Cameron, Jake, and Christian.
* TheLeader: Of his squad that became the new batch of [=SPARTAN-IVs=].
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Saul looks out for Katherine like an elder sibling and their bond gets stronger when the rest of the squad is killed. Funnily enough, their voice actors are real life siblings.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After the Flood force them to retreat, Saul and Katherine get into a heated argument in which Saul angrily refers to to her as [[YouAreNumber6 "04"]], something he admonished Gabe for doing in ''Generation''. After driving a hurt Katherine away, all Saul can do is silently stand there as he realizes what he'd done.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Despite Katherine's warnings, Saul, determined to bring down the Shipmaster, heads deeper into Halo's inner facilities, unwittingly unleashing the contained Flood within.
* RedOniBlueOni: While he's ''usually'' a level-headed blue, he falls firmly into red when he starts becoming reckless in his drive to finish the fight, leaving Katherine to fill the blue.
* TookALevelInJerkass: His mission to bring down the Shipmaster quickly turns into a single-minded obsession that drives him to disregard the advice of his peers, which leads to the Flood being unleashed and getting several marines killed. His argument with Katherine gives him the JerkassRealization he needed to stop his reckless behavior.

!!!'''Species''': Human
->'''Voiced by''': Carrie Whittington
->'''Appearances''': ''Generation'' | ''Omega Halo'' | ''Border War'' | ''The Last War''
The squad's sniper.
----
* ActionGirl: An efficient, lethal soldier befitting the role of a SPARTAN.
* TheCameo: She's briefly seen alongside Grey as he gives a speech on humanity's victory against the Shipmaster in the opening sequence of ''Border War''.
* ColdSniper: She's the squad's sniper.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She lost her entire family in the fall of Reach and became a sniper, because they were often separate from their squads.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome:
* FantasticRacism: Harbors hatred towards the Sangheli (for understandable reasons), putting her at odds with the Separatists during ''The Last War''. She thankfully grows out of this.
* HeroicSacrifice:
* TheLancer: To Saul in ''Omega Halo''.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Saul, by her own admission, and it's a bond that becomes stronger after losing the rest of their team. Interestingly, their voice actors are real-life siblings.
* NotSoDifferent: Despite their tense relationship, Katherine and Gabe are more alike than they realize. Both suffer from [[DarkAndTroubledPast Dark And Troubled Pasts]] in which they've witnessed their teammates die, and has greatly affected their psyches.
* TheQuietOne: Deconstructed. She isn't very talkative, which doesn't lend well to her communication with her teammates, which is key in a firefight. Were it not for Gabe, [[PoorCommunicationKills she could have been killed on their first assignment.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: The more withdrawn, reserved blue to Saul's increasingly brash and reckless red in ''Omega Halo''.
* SoleSurvivor: She's the last member of her squad by the end of ''Omega Halo''.
* TheSquadette: The only female of the team.
* TheStoic: The deaths of her squad mates have pushed her into this, and doesn't show much emotion. [[NotSoStoic However, this occasionally breaks, especially when she loses Saul.]]
* WeaponOfChoice: The sniper rifle, fittingly enough.

!!!'''Species''': Human
->'''Voiced by''': Morgan Dale
->'''Appearances''': ''Generation'' | ''Omega Halo'' (afterlife)
The team's close-combat specialist. He's something of an outlier and more abrasive with his teammates.
----
* BadassBaritone: Morgan Dale gives him a fairly deep, standoffish voice. [[WordOfGod Jacob Whittington]] specifies in the "Looking Back" video that he was looking for a [[VideoGame/RepublicCommando Sev vibe]] when casting Gabe.
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves Saul from 'Thalashee when he's about to be killed. Unfortunately, it costs him.
* TheCameo: He appears in the afterlife epilogue of ''Omega Halo'', but due to his voice actor being unavailable, it's in a non-speaking role.
* CoolHelmet: Contrasting the uniform MK-VI helmets of his teammates, Gabe wears his own custom helmet, likely to help viewers visually identify him, as well as highlight his disconnect from the others.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Harper notes that he's had a long history of seeing his teammates die, which has led to him being extremely closed off to those around him.
* DeathByIrony: He admonishes Katherine for her poor communication and says that she'll be the first one to die if she doesn't shape up. Guess who ''actually'' died first?
* {{Foil}}: He's what Katherine could have become had she closed herself off from others.
* {{Hypocrite}}: For someone who goes on about how Katherine and Christian are weak links who will be detrimental to the squad, his attitude succeeds in damaging morale and causing more tension than they ever did. [[JerkassRealization Fortunately, Saul helps him realize this.]]
* InTheBack: Killed by 'Thalashee when he takes his eyes off him to check on Saul.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His heart is in the right place when he criticizes his teammates, as he doesn't want them to get themselves killed. But his intentions are marred by his harsh words and his attitude doesn't do him any favors.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He could have put it more tactfully, but Gabe was right in pointing out that Katherine's lack of communication can be a detriment to the squad.
* JerkassRealization: Saul practically has to spell out that his abrasive, pessimistic behavior is damaging the squad's morale.
* TheLancer: He becomes Saul's for the final showdown with 'Thalashee.
* NotSoDifferent: Despite their tense relationship, Gabe and Katherine are more alike than they realize. Both suffer from [[DarkAndTroubledPast Dark And Troubled Pasts]] in which they've witnessed their teammates die, and has greatly affected their psyches.
* NotSoStoic: He usually speaks in an even, emotionless tone but it's clear he's carrying a lot of emotional baggage. This slips through when Saul is chewing him out after Harper's death, but his most notable moment has to be when Saul is captured and Jake believes they could have saved him because they were now Spartans. Gabe disagreed. ''[[SuddenlyShouting Vehemently]]''.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: His preferred weapon is a shotgun.
* WeaponOfChoice: The shotgun, which compliments his preference for close-quarters combat.
* YouAreNumber6: He refers to his squadmates by their numbers rather than their names. After his JerkassRealization, he starts using their names to emphasize his CharacterDevelopment.

!!!'''Species''': Human
->'''Voiced by''': Peter [=McDonald=]-Ryder
->'''Appearances''': ''Generation'' | ''Omega Halo''
The team's reconnaissance expert and marksman.
----
* TheCameo: Briefly appears in the epilogue of ''Omega Halo'', but in a non-speaking role due to his voice actor being unavailable.
* DesignatedPointMan: He specializes in reconnaissance, which naturally makes him the first one into danger.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Jake often focuses on the mission, but even he can't help but make a bet with Christian on their first mission on who can kill more Elites with less ammo. Jake lost.
* TheQuietOne: Arguably more so than Katherine. He says very little, often only speaking in downtime or when he has to during missions.
