According to Colonel Holland, Jorge was an excellent card player. In a performance report, he is noted as "inspiring confidence in those around him" and being "rock solid" despite his long military career this is credited to the fact he is a SPARTAN-II, and is thus considered superior to conventional soldiers in every respect. Like all SPARTAN-IIs, Jorge has seen almost thirty years of action and shows 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 is shown to be empathetic and caring toward civilians a trait noticeably rare among Spartans. Described as being very difficult to read, he is 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 has seen as much action, if not more, against human militants and Covenant forces. Traits and Personality “The big man was sentimental.” However, Jorge's Noble teammates would be driven to fight harder by his sacrifice, and Carter-A259 would comment that Jorge was "lucky", as he died thinking that he had saved his homeworld. Ultimately, these efforts would be for naught, as a massive Covenant fleet arrived just after the Supercarrier's destruction, and Reach would fall to relentless attacks from Covenant forces. UPPERCUT had been a success, but at the cost of Jorge's life. His last known words, which were to Six, were "Tell them to make it count." As Six drifted away from the ship, Jorge activated the bomb, opening a slipspace rupture that enveloped the Corvette and a large portion of the Supercarrier's midsection, sending it into the slipstream with no way out. Jorge resolved that he would stay to activate the slipspace device himself and presuming that doing so would cost him his life, he entrusted Noble Six with his dog tags before forcing Six off the Covenant Corvette. He also found that the timing device that would have been used to activate the SFTE was also damaged, and the only alternative would be to trigger it manually. After they had taken control of the Corvette, Jorge discovered that they were not only cut off from their Sabres, 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. The Savannah diverted the Corvette's fire, allowing Noble Six to infiltrate the ship's hull and allow a Pelican carrying Jorge and the bomb inside the ship. Īfter rendezvousing with the UNSC fleet, the Sabres helped in repelling the Covenant invasion force and escorted the UNSC Savannah in commandeering a Covenant corvette. Jorge and Noble Six boarded a Sabre and launched into space to join the Epsilon Eridani Defense Fleet. After receiving authorization from Colonel Urban Holland, the team traveled to a besieged base and assisted the UNSC forces in repelling the Covenant forces. Realizing the presence of the Covenant supercarrier after the Battle of Viery as a great threat, the team devised Operation: UPPERCUT a tactic which involved using a YSS-1000 "Sabre"-class 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 Sword Base and a large-scale UNSC assault on a Covenant-occupied site and neutralization of a Covenant Spire. Prior to the Fall of Reach, Jorge-052 along with other members of Noble Team investigated an incident over at Visegrád Relay, only to discover that Covenant forces had bypassed Reach's defenses and infiltrated key installations and communications centers. He acted in the capacity of 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.
