From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan 117, more commonly known as Master Chief, is the protagonist of the Halo series. Towering over other United Nations Space Command forces and weighing approximately half a ton in his armor, the Master Chief is one of the last remaining SPARTAN-II supersoldiers. Inspiring awe in allies and fear in foes, the Master Chief first appears in Bungie's 2001 Halo: Combat Evolved, where he and his A.I. construct Cortana fight enemies to unravel the secrets of Halo. The character returns in Halo 2 and Halo 3, and is featured in the expanded universe novels Halo: The Flood, Halo: The Fall of Reach, Halo: First Strike, and Halo: Uprising.
