Kurt-051 (Earth-5875)

"Die? Didn't you know? SPARTANs never die."

- - Kurt-051's last words to Fleetmaster Voro Nar 'Mantrakee

Lieutenant Commander Kurt-051 was a SPARTAN-II supersoldier of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command, where he served as the leader of Green Team. Described as a "naturally-born leader", he became close with all other SPARTAN-IIs before he disappeared in a mission in 2531. While he was declared to be killed in action, Kurt had been found by the Office of Naval Intelligence and recruited by Colonel James Ackerson to become the commanding officer of his SPARTAN-III Program.

Early life
Kurt-051 was born on October 19th, 2511 in Mira, Circumstance. When he was only six years old, in 2517, he was kidnapped by the Office of Naval Intelligence as a conscripted participant in the SPARTAN-II Program, headed by Dr. Catherine Halsey and Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez, on Reach. Like all others, he was trained by Mendez and the synthetic Déjà. He was one of the one hundred and two candidates to survive the program's deadly augmentation procedures, and rose up to become a SPARTAN-II.
