[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BerserkerBarage As Sardonic mentioned, the whole Recon Number 54 thing is a good chance of talking about the Security Officer, but you can't be 100% sure. Leela could have been talking about one of the other Mark IVs and not necessarily him. But that's probably the best lead we have unless you can tie down J. Jones or Robt. McLees and get one of them to tell you. ~B.B.[/quote]Nah, what you really need to do is prepare a falling washing machine trap and catch Greg Kirkpatrick, then make him tell you.

Not sure if he even has a name...........................But the other humans in the game are Bobs. Some speculate the Halo and Marathon series to be in the same universe so some asume it is John "Master Chief" 117.....................Or just another Bob

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] FleetAdmiralBob [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SPARTANm069 But in one of the picture wall papers on bungie it has the marathon character with a caption: "vic on a really bad bay"[/quote] I'm pretty sure "Vic" was the corpse he was holding. [/quote] I agree. I think Mullin's is referring to the "vic(tim)" that's having a really bad day. Not that the security officer is named Vic.

Bruce, and he made a cameo appearance in Halo 2

The main character of marathon really had no name, he was just some anonymous marine. [Edited on 09.21.2008 6:06 PM PDT]

Anyway, we just call him the Security Officer, or the Marathon Man. Marathon Cyborg if you wanna initial him as "MC" ala Master Chief. You could just call him Kamina McAwesomestien. Thats my fan nickname for him.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] haloplayer2kill [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Ogier [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] WB Wolves Sgt. Eddings. I can't believe no one else remembers that....[/quote]Since I don't think Eddings ever grew up on Mars or "been teleporting since before [he was] born," I've never taken that seriously.[/quote] Things are not always what they seem. I do not think it has been directly stated but i do believe he had memories that were implanted into him. For one thing at the start of Marathon 1 he believed he was just a normal person and had a normal life on Mars, he also did not know he was a battleroid, Now we know Battleroid's were made from Dead Soldiers so the Security Officer must have died in past before becoming a battleroid, however the Secrity Officer remembers nothing like that. Im guessing is when he died and was resurrected as a battleroid they tried to erase his memories of his preveous life (so if he was Sgt. Eddings he would not have remembered the PiD incident), but for some reason some things seem oddily familiar to him. He was given new memories. Somewhere in the game Durendal says this. ------------------------------ Your father told you as a child to always fight with honor, but to always fight.[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Ogier [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] WB Wolves Sgt.

I like him better without a name.Joanna Dark.[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sardonic13 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] WB Wolves He was quite possibly Sgt. Eddings when he was human, before he got the cybernetic implants.[/quote]That is true. Nowhere does it explicitly say that Sgt. Eddings is not the Security Officer. However, Sgt. Eddings went down into the pyramid in 1994. The first mention of Battledriods (i.e. the prototypes of the Mjolnir Mark IV cyborg we know the Security Officer to be) was in 2194. That is a difference of 200 years. The Battledriods were created by recycling dead soldiers. It seems impossible that Sgt. Eddings would have still been alive, much less capable of fighting and dying in a war 200 years after he emerged from the temple in the Yucatan. [/quote] He could have died and his body was put in cryo so it did not age, then later made into a battleroid. Or maybe something in the Pyramid made im immortal but someone killed him somehow, I do believe the theory that the Security Officer is the reanimated version of Sgt. Eddings, PiD is the prequel to the Marathon Series. Also in M1A1 the start of the 1st mission is set in a PiD room, i know that is not Canon but there is a connection between Marathon and PiD. Think of PiD like Marathon Zero. Also this is what i got from the wiki. --------------------------------------------------- Pathways Into Darkness is considered by many to be the beginning of the "Bungie Mythos", a large timeline which connects this and later Bungie games. The most salient of these connections is the nature of the "waking god" and the helpful aliens who inform the United States government of its nature. The "waking god" is believed to be a — or the — W'rkncacnter, a race or singular entity in the Marathon series which shares similar properties, primarily ancient origins, incredible power and the capacity to cause destruction on a global or cosmic scale simply by existing. Also, the aliens who inform the US of the waking god are the Jjaro, an ancient alien race that is featured heavily in the Marathon and (as some fans believe) Halo series, although they are never mentioned in the latter. There are also connections which are not directly spoken, but many believe. Although it is never directly stated, the Marathon character is rumored to be a cyborg, formed from the dead bodies of soldiers. This character feels as if he has done certain things before, or as if he has dreamed about them. These 'certain things' match up well with nearly identical events which the main character from Pathways experienced. The most subtle of the connections between Pathways Into Darkness and Marathon lie in a single computer terminal in the latter game. While seemingly there to provide proof that a human AI is distorting human history data (to prevent invading aliens from knowing of Earth's location) the text is actually a highly corrupted version of the original Pathways Into Darkness story. --------------------------------- I also found some interesting stuff here, if there is a connection between Eddings and the Security Officer. http://marathon.bungie.org/story/The main character has no name. He is merely is referred to as the Security Officer.
