Captain Gregory Cutter

Captain Gregory Cutter is a UNSC Officer in command of the Spirit of Fire. His leadership in the defence of Arcadia would have earned him an Admirality, but in a bad stroke of luck the ship was launched into slipspace towards a Flood-controlled Shield World. He led the crew of the ship into battle with the Covenant, along with Sergeant Forge, Serina and Ellen Anders, and personally oversaw Red Team's operations on the planet.

After the destruction of a Flood Proto-Gravemind, the rescue of Ellen Anders from a Covenant trap and the death of Sergeant Forge in the destruction of the Shield World, Cutter agreed to send the entire crew into cryosleep in order to return to Earth.

However, the ship was instead transporterd to the Ark, where Cutter and the rest of the crew were reawakened to find that the UNSC had abandoned the facility following attacks from the Banished. Cutter fought with the leader of the Banished, Atriox, as well as his second-in-command Decimus. Cutter also formed a respectful rivalry with the Banished Shipmaster Let Volir, who commanded the Banished Carrier Enduring Conviction.

Cutter enjoys blasting Covenant with the Spirit of Fire's massive MAC cannon. And no, he's not overcompensating, he has a moustache for goodness' sake.
