![]() ![]() While brave and exceptionally lucky, Jorge was something of a fatalist toward the end of his career, believing that he had long outlived the span of time allotted to a Spartan warrior. Indeed, where others failed Jorge often had a plan, and he preferred to overcome obstacles with subtlety and minimum expenditure of lives and resources. Though naturally strong and driven, Jorge was not selected for the SPARTAN-II program based on his physical strength and tenacity alone. According to Colonel Holland, Jorge was an excellent card player. In a performance report, he was noted as "inspiring confidence in those around him" and being "rock solid" despite his long military career. Like all SPARTAN-IIs, Jorge had seen almost thirty years of action during his career and showed no signs of breaking or slowing. He was also particularly attached to his home planet of Reach, going so far as to sacrifice himself in order to save it. ![]() He was shown to be empathetic and caring toward civilians a trait few other Spartans shared. Described as being very difficult to read, he was free with his opinions, vocal in his support of provincial self-rule, and just as vocal in his condemnation of the separatist and insurrectionist movements. Jorge was the only member of NOBLE Team that had seen as much action, if not more, against human militants as Covenant forces. " The big man was sentimental." - Emile-A239 Jorge attempts to comfort Sára Sorvad after the death of her father. " Tell 'em to make it count." - Jorge's final words to NOBLE Six. He had also found that the timing device that would have been used to activate the slipspace drive was damaged, and that the only alternative would be to trigger it manually. After Covenant forces were defeated, Jorge discovered that they were not only cut off from their Sabres, but that the thrusters on the Pelican were damaged during the firefight, and that in order for them to return to Reach, the Spartans would have to free-fall back to the planet's surface. Jorge and Six then used the hijacked corvette, which was on course toward the supercarrier to refuel, to transport the slipspace device within range of the supercarrier. Savannah diverted the corvette's fire, allowing NOBLE Six and a team of boarders to infiltrate the ship's hull and to allow a Pelican carrying Jorge, the bomb, and UNSC reinforcements inside the ship. Īfter rendezvousing with the UNSC fleet, the Sabres helped repel the Covenant invasion force and escorted the UNSC Savannah in commandeering the Ardent Prayer, a Covenant corvette. ![]() Jorge and SPARTAN-B312, NOBLE Six, boarded a Sabre and launched into space to join the Epsilon Eridani Fleet. After receiving authorization from Colonel Urban Holland, the team traveled to a besieged Sabre research facility and assisted the defending UNSC forces in repelling the attackers. Realizing the presence of the Covenant supercarrier Long Night of Solace after the Battle at Szurdok Ridge as a great threat, Catherine-B320 of NOBLE Team devised Operation: UPPER CUT, a plan which involved using a FSS-1000 Sabre starfighter to deliver a makeshift slipspace bomb to the supercarrier and destroy it via a slipspace rupture. During the preliminary stages of the Covenant invasion of Reach, Jorge and NOBLE Team partook in multiple operations against Covenant forces on the surface of Reach, including a counter-offensive operation to retake the Office of Naval Intelligence's Sword Base on July 26 and a large-scale UNSC assault on a Covenant-occupied site and the neutralization of a Covenant Spire on August 12. There, they discovered that Covenant forces had bypassed Reach's defenses and had infiltrated key installations and communications centers. On July 24, prior to the Fall of Reach, Jorge, along with the other members of NOBLE Team, investigated an incident at the Visegrad Relay. He served as a heavy weapons specialist, and was the only Spartan-II on the team. Jorge served with NOBLE Team under the call sign "NOBLE Five" during the Fall of Reach in 2552.

In 2525, he and the other candidates underwent a series of augmentations to improve their overall combat prowess in several different fields. Jorge quickly corrected the trainer only to be shocked and reprimanded for "back talking". During his first day of training, a trainer mispronounced his name by calling him by the Spanish pronunciation. While on Reach, he was trained by the AI Déjà and Chief Petty Officer Mendez along with the rest of the Spartan children. Catherine Halsey in 2517 when he was six years old. Jorge was born in the small city of Pálháza on Reach on March 5, 2511, and was abducted and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program by Dr. ![]()
