Top 10 Best Halo Characters

He is not just my favorite Halo character, not just my favorite video game character, but my favorite fictional character of all time. He is powerful, tactical, heroic, badass - the list goes on.

My first games were Halo 3, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, and New Super Mario Bros. His last words in Halo 3, "Wake me when you need me," show his loyal, ready-for-anything, and trustworthy attitude. I make sure I can play as him in most games (or I make my character look like him). He is without a doubt my favorite fictional character EVER.

Taking control of a Sangheili elite was one of the most badass things I have ever done in the history of this game. When I played with my brother, we used to argue over who got to play the Arbiter. His story of turning to the side of the humans is absolutely amazing.

He's 10 feet tall, has a sword as long as I am tall, and can survive fifteen Flood jumping on his back. Not to mention that he can kill Covenant soldiers with his bare hands and take down Elites with active camouflage. Need I say more?

Arbiter is a legend. He is an honorable warrior. Moreover, he is the Covenant counterpart of Spartan-117. His grave personality and voice are just too good. And the golden Prophet's Bane he wields clearly reflects his superiority.

Like others have said, you never really form a big connection with Master Chief or other big characters from the Halo universe. When playing the Reach campaign, I felt a solid connection with Noble Six. He was customizable, and you could picture yourself on the front lines rather than seeing someone else's view. He was the most relatable character in the Halo universe and, in my opinion, one of the greatest.

I agree, Noble Six was "Noble." He fought to the very end, even when he was mortally wounded. Halo Reach was made to show us what it was like with Hell on Reach.

In Lone Wolf, I was sad seeing all the dead Marine and Spartan bodies - seeing the comrades you've fought alongside burned, shredded, dismembered, or just missing. Noble Six has been through hell and almost survived it.

In Halo 2, he says a funny line after one of the soldiers mocks writing a letter to him: "I heard that, jackass."

He is such a good character and the closest thing to a father figure the Chief has. I almost cried when he died...

He originally died in the ending of the first Halo game, but Bungie got overwhelmed with pleas to bring him back and had no choice. They brought him back awesomely and sent him out with a bang.

With his signature cigar and smooth personality, Staff Sergeant Avery Junior Johnson is awesome in every possible way. As a plus, he is also technically a SPARTAN-I and is completely immune to the Flood Super Cell.

Very helpful, and has some witty voicelines. "Would it have killed you to use the elevator?"

Also, she gets madly simped for by the community, which makes me a little angry, but I can't fix that, so...

My favorite in the books, second to Johnson in games.

Chief's best and closest friend who helps him out whenever he is in trouble.

This man deserves to be in the top five, possibly the best. He is a witty soldier and a great leader to his ODST team. Whereas John goes into High Charity to save Cortana against orders and puts the Arbiter in danger (another great character), Buck only cares about his team, demonstrated in his worry for the Rookie in Halo: ODST.

He deserves to be much higher on the list. Funny but grizzled, smart but dumb. Decades of experience all rolled into Nathan Fillion, and boom. Buck should be top 3. He isn't green but very, very mean.

I do like MC more, but I like to vote for the underdog. He manually detonates a slipspace bomb to destroy a Covenant Supercarrier, so Noble Six doesn't have to. Badass.

In Reach, when the ship is about to explode, he picks you up and throws you out.

The most human Spartan II I have ever known, even sacrificing his own life to save his friends. Even if more Covenant carriers arrived afterward.

Hell yeah, the most awesome, archetypal definition of a badass. Sure, Chief got the main storyline, but just play Halo Wars and you'll begin to understand why Forge is such an awesome character.

The true hero of the old days of the war. RIP Dr. Jimothy Badass Forge.

If it takes death, so be it. You will not defeat the Covenant.

He is awesome, using manipulation and deception in his powers.

Nothing beats Emile. He may not be the most patient Spartan, but he's certainly the most daring. Master Chief may be the luckier and longer-lived Spartan, but Emile outlasts all of Noble Team (except Jun). He gives Noble Six air cover while clearing out the landing zone.

Also, you never see Emile's face. All you ever see of him is that awesome helmet carving, which makes him more impersonal and matches his description.

Emile went down fighting. I literally cried when the Zealot impaled him. Emile was the most mysterious and badass member of Noble Squad. Those awesome knives he has make him even more badass (if that's possible).

I love him. Such a great character. Everything a good soldier should be.

His character growth in his first three appearances is top-notch.

Jerome is my favorite character because he cares about his team, gets the job done, and he's badass. He uses the Spartan laser, which is one of the coolest weapons.

The Australian we all know and love. Can't believe he wasn't even on this list yet.

Just don't give him a rocket launcher.

"If you will not hear the truth, then I'll show it to you." He has a way with poetry and words. "This one is but flesh and faith and is the more deluded." He can see into people more than others. He can make an ally easily but is very manipulative.

He is very interesting because of his appearance of over 100 feet tall, plus his personality. One of the smartest characters in the Halo franchise.

This is not your grave, but you are welcome in it.

I am the monument to all your sins.

Jacob's daughter, Miranda, lives up to her father in every way. She is an amazing pilot and proves to be extremely courageous, driving a Pelican into a building in an attempt to thwart the Prophet of Truth's plans of activating the Halo. She didn't deserve to die.

Poor Keyes. This guy deserves a lot more respect for what he did. He was tortured by the Flood, who dug through his memories for hours on end, but he didn't give them the info they wanted, repeatedly giving them his name and rank instead. His death was such a badass yet horrifying moment. RIP the GOAT.

Though he is a high-ranked official, the Captain shows that he can keep a level head even in the face of danger. He proves to be an extraordinary pilot, able to pilot a UNSC ship by hand and a Covenant dropship with little training.

Every member of the Covenant shall walk the path. None will be left behind when our Great Journey begins. That is the Prophets' age-old promise, and it shall be fulfilled!

A chortling, humming, slightly maniacal guardian who threatens to transport the player back to "The Library" if they shoot him enough. Guilty Spark is not only a lovable/hateable critter, he's also not quite dead.

An eccentric AI that is like the best of the Portal 2 SPACE! Core combined with a slightly crazy AI.

I don't care what others say, this is the coolest robot in the games.

Not exactly green. No ODST is. But if I didn't think he could do the job, I wouldn't have him on my six. He doesn't say much, but I don't care. I just need him to listen.

Rookie is nice but doesn't talk much. He follows orders and survives in a city filled with aliens.

Playing as Rookie was great. The forgotten soldier.

The best sniper in all of Halo.

Personally, Jun and Noble 6 are my favorites, with MC close after.
