Christopher Robson

"He's a good friend and an excellent C.O. He'll look after you, tell a joke to make you at ease, but you won't ever forgot he's in charge as he'll remind you of that just as quick. There's no-one else I'd rather serve under."

Battle of Jericho VII
After the Battle for Harvest the 16th Marine Regiment was shipped to Jericho VII as part of the defence force and took part in capturing the major objectives. thanks to superior ground numbers the UNSC Marines where able to push back the invading Covenant forces and held them at bay for three days, however the Space battle went poorly and the Regiment was evacuated as the Covenant began to glass the planet. Robson watched in horror as the surface of the planet was reduced to molten magma.

Battle of Charybdis IX
The remainder of the 16th Marine Regiment was then rushed to Charybdis IX in attempt to halt the Covenant Advance there. Robson Was was given command of the entire company (Normally unheard of in a Second Lieutenant) due to the death of the remaining officers.
