MasterChief History

The development of the Masterchief, the character was done by Rob Mclees and Marcus Lehto with Shi Kai Wang hired to produce the artwork for the figure. Shi Kai Wang’s preliminary sketch of MasterChief is shown, although the figure was made larger and bulked up for the video games to give a more aggressive marine persona.

The only physical description of the MasterChief comes from the novel Halo: The Flood, the MasterChief is described as “tall with short hair, serious eyes, and strong features”. His skin is “too white”, a consequence of spending most of his time in his armor.
