Bio: Arthur Jones, aka the "Bear", is a strong, capable soldier of war, perhaps one of the physically strongest Spartans out there without using any boosters. The Bear used to be a mercenary, shooting for the highest bidder and asking questions later. He was captured by UNSC forces at 17 after a mission gone wrong, and his contractor hired him to steal from a UNSC supply depot. He was caught carrying out ammo cache's with one of his cohorts. After being arrested, the Bear was kept for a year before a deal was struck. Volunteer for the Spartan Programme or be sentenced to death for crimes against the UNSC and carrying out mercenary military contracts. The choice was obvious.

Arthur accelerated at all physical exercises, especially strength focused ones. As boots on the grounds go, Arthur was one of the best. However, his reckless behaviour from being a mercenary carried through, and in simulations, heading straight first into danger was his only plan of attack, much like an ODST drop pod. Sooner or later, the idea of stealth and tactics (as well as a respect for authority) was hammered into him, and through that, he got pretty handy with a combat knife. He also became extremely proficient in heavy weaponry, learning the ins and outs of weapons like Spartan Lasers, chainguns, Hydra Lauchers, Railguns and his favourite, the SAW. The Bear is a true soldier, and is loyal too. He seems to understand the UNSC's purpose and started to come around to the cause. After five years, he truly devoted himself to the UNSC and now calls his mercenary work as "sinful" due to how his and other's mercenary work was detrimental to UNSC's progress. 

The Bear is now a true Spartan, and his recklessness only ever comes to play when his teammates are in danger. He will follow orders with maximum efficiency and brutality. When you need siege, demolition and pure strength to punch through, the Bear is your call.
