Um, no. Good idea, you just didn’t have all the facts. John 117 (that’s his actual name, Master Chief is just his rank) is a man who was kidnapped at a very young age, transformed into a highly trained killer, and then beefed up with cybernetic implants. The Security Officer is a soldier who was killed, recycled as a Battleroid (to be exact, Mjolnir Recon number 54, one of 10 military Mjolnir Mark IV cyborgs placed aboard the Marathon) and placed aboard the Marathon.

Well, I was kinda hoping that Bungie would allude to the Marathon story in *some* way, just for old times sake ;-)
