Bio:Born April 2nd, 2331 on Earth, Jack Alexander lived an uneventful life in North America. After trying his hand at an ordinary life in the construction industry, a strong sense of patriotism and duty pushed him to enlist in the UNSC. His confidence boosted by his recruiter, Alexander enlisted under an ODST contract. During indoctrination, he barely kept from being disqualified until one day, a cadre told him he was bringing shame to the UNSC and, more importantly, to the family patch he wore on his right breast. Fueled by the shame and a stewing rage of the insult, he would rally and proceed to graduate near the top of his class with top scores for marksmanship,nighttime and aerial warfare as well as a prime first duty station on the scenic planet Reach. His first years active duty were filled with high performance and ,to his superiors chagrin, a habit for oversleeping. His squadmates quickly and ironically nicknamed him Rooster for his frequent morning tardiness and extreme early morning grumpiness. Eventually in 2551, he was transferred to the 4th ODSTs,the "Bullfrogs". Under a year later, Alexander would make his first contact with the covenant during the battle of Reach, primarily aiding in evacuations of major cites, as well as assisting Spartan-B312 "Noble 6" in retaking Traxus tower. He and his unit were evacuated from Reach shorty after. Further combat with the covenant wouldn't been seen until for months. In October 2552 Alexander would participate in the failed aerial infiltration of the Prophet of Regret's flagship, the Solemn Penance. As the Solemn Penance escaped, Alexander's pod was disabled and thrown inland, toward the edge of the city. Unable to establish radio contact with the UNSC and eager to get back in the fight, Alexander attempted to rally local resistance to push and re-establish contact with UNSC forces. Covenant defenses would prove too heavy though, and eventually Alexander would be forced to give up on his push to the heart of the city, instead taking control of a police station and establishing a really point for any other isolated UNSC forces. Alexander would later receive a silver star for his actions. Staying in the UNSC after the war, he would volunteer for the Spartan IV program, and be rejected. However, as more funding was allowed following the success of the first wave of Spartan IVs, Alexander would be offered the opportunity to join the second group in receiving the Spartan augmentation. He immediately accepted. His old nickname of "Rooster" would catch up with him as a Spartan, as he was reunited with a former squadmate who had successfully received the Spartan IV augmentation with the first group. Rooster was noted as frequently expressing his displeasure for orders, but following them anyway,as well as a general heightened aggression in a fight. Refusing to give up his ODST helmet because "Your new helmet stinks, this one smells like home" Rooster forced ONI engineers to retrofit his helmet with the Mjolnir Mk VI upgrades, an act some other former ODSTs would later replicate.
