Conscription
Arthur-079 was born on September 9th, 2511, in New Galveston. 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.

When Arthur's clone replacement die, his father became suspicious and settled to uncover the truth behind it, eventually becoming an Insurrectionist alongside Staffan Sentzke.
