"If they charge all-out on us, we'll either be cut to pieces and die or run away screaming and live. But if we charge them, they'll be slaughtered here and die or run away screaming, be slaughtered, and die. I don't know 'bout you, but it seems like an obvious choice to me."

- VimesV-55

=Origin=

In 2517, a 5-year-old boy named Vimes was recruited as one of the 150 possible candidates for the SPARTAN-I Project. The boy was one of the 75 chosen, and became one of the Spartan-Is.

Battle of Jericho VII
When the Covenant landed on Jericho VII, the Blue Team massacred the Covenant troops. As they held off the Covenant forces, Vimes, now SPARTAN-55 and a lesser-known member of Red Team, went in with his fellows to plant a tactical nuke. Vimes was injured while acting as a sentry for the nuke layers, and was one of the first to get into the Pelican Dropship that took the Spartans back to the UNSC fleet.

Battle of Sigma Octanus IV
VimesV-55 did not see much action during the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV; he was one of the backup Spartans who stayed behind in case they were needed. The closest VimesV-55 got to action was when a Covenant attack vessel passed within 100 yards of the ship he was in.

When he had been 2 decades with Red Team, VimesV-55 became a loner. After splitting up with his former teammates, he went on to co-found, along with Private Norm-78 a small team of a select few, of whom he soon became a respected officer and leader. The 178th Battalion, or the "Cougars", as they were known, was comprised of relatively few Spartans.
