Glad to see that no one else has already taken
S-128.
Listed as one of the thirty candidates that died during surgical augmentation, SPARTAN-128 was enrolled into a side project of Dr. Halsey off of any record. In his youth, this future spartan often assisted Dr. Halsey with her experiments.
S-128's mission is to find all spartans listed as MIA and recover any that are alive by any means necessary. Under Operation-Ω (Omega), he leads a squad of ODSTs that refer to themselves as the "End-Game" squadron. This is due to Omega meaning "last" and their mission is to determine the final status of all spartans whose whereabouts are unknown. The squadron is also known by their name because they tend to be the last thing anything ever sees. While they do value all forms of life and operate in the dead of night to avoid detection, there is speculation that this squadron has been known to wipe out entire regions of indigenous life when they discover a fallen spartan; only leaving behind an omega symbol in the blood of the creatures that inhabit that region.
While active in his squadron, S-128 has also been referred to as "S-128-Ω", "W28", and goes under the call-sign "AHNZ".
He has also been referred to before as "Omega", since he was the last of the spartans in the Spartan-II program to make it into active duty.
The "W" in W28 was given to him by Dr. Halsey, as he was the 23rd candidate to be listed as deceased.
It is believed that she chose him to be the 23rd death due to her calling him her "little wanderer" while he was a youth. She had discovered he was afflicted with ADHD, a condition that had not been seen in 200 years; as such he tended to wander around with her, distancing himself from the other kids. It is rumored that during his candidacy, Halsey purged S-128 of his "condition".
Although it is dissimilar to those in his squadron, S-128 also wears an ODST helmet.
This squad and operation is officially unlisted on any records, meaning that a redundant instance of Operation-Ω can exist officially on record. If discovered by the enemy, UNSC forces will lay no claim to the knowledge of their existence.
To withhold the idea that spartans never die, all spartans discovered to be deceased are still listed as MIA. Due to this, the End Game Squadron consider their main objectives to be both retrieval and justice for their fallen warriors.
Their secondary objective is to obtain all additional information that they can while they are located on Covenant home worlds. In an investigation of Eayn, the Kig-Yar homeworld, S-128 dissected several of the species in order to discover how their point-defense-gauntlets functioned. He succeeded. The squadron's translator was also successful in recruiting two Kig-Yar siblings to join the quest. It wasn't hard to convince them after freeing them from the prison they were in.....
The two are currently outfitted with modified Sangheili Ranger armor.
Still in search of the Spartan Grey Team, the squadron's next target was the home world of one of the most devastating Covenant species. S-128 was determined to discover how the creatures fired "death" from their hands, and was determined to find a way to harness that power to be used in tandem with a point-defense-gauntlet.
Last known location: Te of the Svir system, home planet of the Mgalekgolo.
Due to the severe conditions of the planet, the standard ODST gear would not permit the squadron to operate on the surface of the planet; S-128 went alone.

Oh, and just so everyone knows, this site seems to have a pretty good history of the active # of canon spartans:

Otherwise, the list of Spartan 2's that have indicated numbers can be found here:

Also, I really liked Blackout11c's spartan details
[here], hopefully he didn't mind me using it for my own personal details.
hehe ^_^ I've used that number ever since we were given the option in game to create service tags.
