| abstract | - Sam was born in a small town just outside of Luxor, a large city of Eridanus II, on July 18, 2528 just prior to his home world being glassed by the Covenant during the Battle of Eridanus II in 2530. During the mayhem, Sam lost both his parents and his sister - being narrowly evacuated aboard a civilian transport craft. Sam then spent the next year living with a temporary foster family. By 2531, the brief one-year period had left him with a strong hatred towards the Covenant for the loss of his family and home world. Combined with his fascination for the military, it was from here he was found and volunteered to sign up for SPARTAN-III’s Alpha Company During his training, Sam often found it hard to fit in and interact with the other SPARTANs due to him being one of the youngest, as well as his general shy attitude at first. This could sometimes lead to other SPARTANs picking fights with Sam. Combined with the rage of losing his parents, this often led to instructors having stern words with him. Sam initially didn't stand out as a SPARTAN but rather just got on with tasks quietly. However, further into his training, Sam started to show signs of being able to work and lead effectively as part of a team, and after a considerable amount of time, was considered for being reserved for ‘future special units’. This consideration was later approved several years after. The next years of specialised training led Sam to become more focused and determined than ever, feeling as though he had a duty to succeed.
