James-005 (Earth-5875)

Petty Officer James-005 was a SPARTAN-II of the UNSC Special Forces and a member of Blue Team. During the Fall of Reach, he was killed in the vaccuum of space during an extravehicular activity mission where his thruster pack was damaged by a Covenant Type-33 Needler.

Conscription
James-005 was born on 2511. 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.
