Hurting Hero is a disambiguation


* HurtingHero: For most of ''The Last War'', Zach was TheQuietOne who happened to be extremely skilled in combat. It later turns out that he's a Spartan-III who lost most of his friends and comrades to the Covenant and sealed himself off to avoid the pain of losing anyone else.



* HurtingHero: Throughout ''Omega Halo'', it's evident the deaths of his squad and mentor, as well as the expecations imposed on him as a Spartan, still weigh heavily which, coupled with his drive to see the Shipmaster dead, leads Saul to make irrational decisions.

* ShadowArchetype: For Garrett. [[spoiler:He's what Garrett could have become had he allowed his hatred for the [=UNSC=] to override his humanity. While both saw the [=UNSC=] as corrupt and resorted to siding with the Lifebringer to bring it down, Garrett had no idea of the Lifebringer's true intentions and saw the error of his ways while Galloway was in on the plot the whole time and had no regrets enslaving his own species if it meant the [=UNSC=] fell. Unlike Garrett, who was shaped by combat and has more experience, Galloway relied on his quality armor and augmentations to stay ahead, showing he was nothing but a hollow imitation of a Spartan, while Garrett, for all his faults, understood what it meant to be a Spartan.]]
