Finish the fight.

A high-ranked, obscure, genetically-altered super soldier bred for war, serving as humanity's last hope in the lethal conflict against the Covenant. The Master Chief, also known as John, Spartan-117, or John-117, is a creation of the mysterious SPARTAN-II project. Outfitted with the ability-enhancing MJOLNIR MARK VI battle armor and heavily trained for combat with an exceedingly diverse array of weaponry, Spartan 117 is a force to be reckoned with. All Spartans stand 7 feet tall, and in their armor weigh over half a ton.

The Master Chief is the main protagonist in all three Halo installments. He is the last Spartan-II; all of the others were killed in a Covenant bombardment of their home planet, Reach.

The Master Chief's appearance is unknown, and there are some instances of the games where it appears as though this hidden appearance is an inside joke for the developers (ie. cutscenes where we are lead to believe we will see his face but ultimately do not).

Throughout the games, the Master Chief has an almost legendary status amongst the humans, and as an ironic juxtaposition, is known as "The Demon" amongst the Covenant. In game Covenant will sometimes say things like "I've killed the Demon" (if they kill the Master Chief) or generally utter phrases including the word "Demon". The Arbiter in Halo 2 also refers to the Chief as "the Demon" on several occasions.
