--->From the halls of Installation 04 to the shores of Harvest, Sergeant Johnson represented the UNSC with distinction and honor his entire life, and is remembered as a hero in death. However, in a twist of fate (and poor records-keeping), the UNSC Marine Corps accidently assigned the life-challenged veteran to a position on board the long-lost Spirit of Fire. Even with the small handicap of being dead, Johnson isn’t one to disobey a direct order from his beloved Corps and he's sprung back to "life" ready to kick all butts that need kicking. The subsequent story of how he arrived at his new duty station is still classified, [[TakeOurWordForIt but trust us, it’s a good one.]]

--->When Sergeant Johnson joined the Corps they didn't have any fancy-schmanzy power armor, but he's a quick learner. He drops onto the Ark in the "Green Machine," a bipedal weapon system custom-fitted with an array of miniguns, phased-plasma fusils, sonic blindwolf repellers, repair beacon pods, and fast-regen energy shields. He keeps a sharp stick handy as a backup weapon.

*Mid-August 2017 introduced the game's Grunt leader, [[BoisterousWeakling Yapyap THE DESTROYER]]. Everything about him is one big hilarious joke on 343's part.
**For starers, he's pretty much ''the'' LethalJokeCharacter of RTS's. His schtick is that he has access to "Cannon Fodder" Grunt squads, whose only advantage is that they only cost Population. He also has the most invincibility options, such as his Grunt Goblin being able to make nearby Grunt units briefly invincible, as well as his "Please Don't Shoot Me" Leader Power which ''stops all combat'' for a short time.
**Every time you spend a Leader Point, the sound is accompanied by Yapyap doing an EvilLaugh
**Along with everyone else's terse announcements, many of his announcement lines have him go on random self-glamorizing tangents
--->'''Yapyap''': (Harvester constructed) Why do we call it a "''Harvester''"? How 'bout we call it something nice like "Tickler"!
--->'''Yapyap''': (''Power Extractor'' constructed) We constructed a ''Power Extractor''! But why do we have these spare parts?
