Alec the Wanderer

The rogue S-III unit SIERRA-195 has eluded the military for a decade. Originally believed to have been lost at the fall of Reach, as he was not among the 14 surviving S-II and S-III units recovered from one of Reach's moons in 2553. He later enigmatically re-surfaced on a frontier world in 2556.

Alec-195 has been known to support himself through mercenary work, largely combating small bands of pirates and raiders on the fringes on UNSC space for civilian inter-planetary security agencies. His exact reasons for eluding the UNSC, as well as the means by which he escaped Reach are unknown.

Alec has been known to be very shy and reclusive after losing his original squad to the biochemical augmentation. After becoming a full Spartan he was assigned to Alpha Company. Alpha Company's commanding officer (SIERRA-773) filed a personnel report citing that Alec-195 had expressed "doubts" about his place in the military. This implies that Alec was questioning his indoctrination into the SPARTAN program, and may be attributed to his current behavior.
