: If you download the original Marathon and Aleph One from source.bungie.com,
: and read the Aleph One readme, there is story information. In one part it
: says you, the main character, were raised on Mars. In Game Informer issue
: 172 page 109 it is said that, by Alex Seropian, "the Master Chief and
: Marathon's protagonist are one and the same." No, I say. The Master
: Chief was raised on Reach. However, the magazine did say that Alex
: Seropian left Bungie, and current Bungie members can rewrite the story as
: they so please.
I think he just meant that they were both destiny...in the same way that Beowulf is also destiny.
Also, most people I know think that it's Onyx...not Marathon. Still, it being Onyx HARDLY makes sense, given it's location in space, etc.
