James-005 (Earth-4001)

Petty Officer, Second Class James-005 was a Spartan-II supersoldier. He participated in numerous battles during the Human-Covenant War as part of Blue Team. During the Fall of Reach in August 2552, he was presumably killed during an EVA mission after his thruster pack was struck by needles from a Type-33 needler and he was sent spinning away into the vacuum of space.

History
The history of James-005 is the same as his mainstream counterpart.

Personality & Traits
James-005 was known for his calm demeanor and persistence under trying circumstances. He remained mentally fit following the beating he received as a preteen and when he lost his arm he did not even whimper. He was known as someone who never gave up. During missions, James had an instinct for walking point. John-117, reflecting on his fellow Spartan-IIs following the destruction of Reach, thought of James as someone who had made a difference in his life.

During the end of the war, James wore an EOD variant of green Mark IV Mjolnir. After losing his left forearm, he was promptly provided with a replacement.
