Lazio''' ([[Italian language\|Italian]]: ''Società Sportiva Lazio SpA'') is an [[Italy\|Italian]] [[football (soccer)\|football]] club based in [[Rome]]. They are known as the ''biancocelesti''. They play in light blue shirts, with white shorts and socks. ~~<big>'''Master Chief'''</big>~~ ~~<p style="margin: 1em 0;">[[Image:Masterchief_halo_face.jpg\|125px\|the Master Chief]]<br></p>~~ The club was founded on January 9th 1900 as Società Podistica Lazio. The name Lazio was taken from the Latin word "Latium", that means "wide", meeting the aim of the founders to symbolize something that includes Rome, but which is not limited to Rome (in fact, Lazio is the name of [[Latium\|the region where Rome lies]]). The sky blue and white strip colours were inspired by the [[Greece\|Greek]] flag and the country which gave birth to Olympic tradition. At the very beginning of its history, the club ran a number of different sporting activities and, from 1902, the club started the football section. ~~<table style="background: transparent; text-align: left; table-layout: auto; border-collapse: collapse; padding: 0; font-size: 100%;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">~~ ~~<tr>~~ ~~<th style="border-top: solid 1px #ccd2d9; padding: 0.4em 1em 0.4em 0; vertical-align: top; text-align: left;">Race</th>~~ ~~<td style="border-top: solid 1px #ccd2d9; padding: 0.4em 1em 0.4em 0; vertical-align: top">[[Human\|Human (Spartan II)]]</td>~~ ~~</tr>~~ ~~<tr>~~ ~~<th style="border-top: solid 1px #ccd2d9; padding: 0.4em 1em 0.4em 0; vertical-align: top; text-align: left;">Faction</th>~~ ~~<td style="border-top: solid 1px #ccd2d9; padding: 0.4em 1em 0.4em 0; vertical-align: top">[[UNSC (Halo)\|United Nations Space Command]]</td>~~ ~~</tr>~~ ~~</table>~~ The club did not join the [[Italian Football League\|league]] competition until 1913. They made the national decider a number of times but lost, often heavily - 9-1 on aggregate to Casale in 1914 and 6-1 on aggregate to [[Genoa 1893]] in 1923. ~~</div><!-- end of slate grey box -->~~ ~~</div><!-- end of floated right section; article starts here -->~~ The club played in the first [[Serie A]], but their highest pre-war finish was second in 1937. Post-war the club continued to fail in the league, but did win the [[Coppa Italia]] in 1958. However, they had to wait until 1974 for their first ''scudetto''. ~~The '''Master Chief''' is the [[protagonist]] in the [[Halo (video game series)\|Halo series]] of [[video game]]s and [[novel]]s.~~ However, when [[Sergio Cragnotti]] became president of the club, he was prepared to invest long-term in new players for the club. In 1993 Lazio finished fifth in Serie A, fourth in 1994, second in 1995, third in 1996, and fourth again in 1997 before winning the ''scudetto'' for the second time in 2000 with [[Sven-Göran Eriksson]] (1997-2001) as manager. They had Coppa Italia victories in 1998, 2000 and 2004 and they also won the last UEFA [[Cup Winners' Cup]] in 1999. Although his official military designation is ''Spartan-117'', he is most often referred to as the Master Chief, presumably short for [[Master Chief Petty Officer]], the highest [[enlisted]] [[military rank\|rank]] in the [[United States Navy]]. The traditional rank of Master Chief is a purely administrative position, but the protagonist of ''Halo'' is more like an [[action hero]]. He is known to [[The Covenant (Halo)\|Covenant]] as the ''Demon''. But after a financial scandal which invested Cragnotti and his foodstuff multinational [[Cirio]], Lazio was controlled in 2004 by a bank pool, in order to be sold to enterpreneur [[Claudio Lotito]], who is the current team owner. The new season for Lazio brought away several strong team players, who were sold to make up the big deficit that regarded the team, which is quoted at the ''Piazza Affari'' Italian stock market. During this summer, former 36-year old Lazio star [[Paolo Di Canio]] accepted to join his favourite team one more time, giving up a much more worthwhile contract from his previous team [[Charlton Athletic F.C.\|Charlton Athletic]]. According to [[Bungie Studios]], The Master Chief stands 7' tall and weighs approximately 1,000 pounds in full [[battle armor]]. Between ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'', the Chief's armour is upgraded from [[MJOLNIR battle armor\|MJOLNIR Mark V]] to Mark VI. The armour includes a helmet with reflective visor so the face of the Chief is never seen. The club plays at the 82,656 seater Stadio Olimpico, shared with [[A.S. Roma]]. The two teams play one another each year in the [[Rome derby]], a fiery, emotional match often marked with tension and fights in the stands. The two clubs have a history of rivalry; in the 2003 season an unprecedented event occurred when the [[A.S. Roma\|Roma]] [[Ultras]] forced the game to be suspended after false rumours spread around the stadium that a child had been killed by the police prior to the beginning of the game. In the current 2004/2005 season, Lazio won the first leg of the derby 3-1, while the second leg was a 0-0 draw. The character has been detailed in two video games, [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] and [[Halo 2]], and three novels, [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], [[Halo: The Flood]], and [[Halo: First Strike]]. His [[voice actor]] is Steve Downes. Famous Lazio players include [[Alen Bokšić]], [[Giorgio Chinaglia]], [[Paul Gascoigne]], [[Silvio Piola]], [[Giuseppe Signori]], [[Pavel Nedvěd]], [[Juan Sebastián Verón]], [[Paolo Di Canio]], [[Jaap Stam]], [[Angelo Peruzzi]], [[Hernán Crespo]], [[Dino Baggio]], [[Roberto Mancini]], [[Christian Vieri]] and [[Alessandro Nesta]]. ~~==Character history==~~ ==First team squad== ~~{{spoiler}}~~ {\| \|valign="top"\| '''Goalkeepers''' 1 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Angelo Peruzzi]] 32 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Marco Ballotta]] 33 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Matteo Sereni]] '''Defenders''' 2 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Guglielmo Stendardo]] 5 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Felice Piccolo]] 7 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Manuel Belleri]] 8 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Luciano Zauri]] 13 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Sebastiano Siviglia]] 16 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Andrea Giallombardo]] 22 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Massimo Oddo]] 25 {{flagicon\|Brazil}} [[Emilson Sanchez Cribari\|Cribari]] \|valign="top"\| '''Midfielders''' 3 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Roberto Baronio]] 4 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Fabio Firmani]] 6 {{flagicon\|France}} [[Ousmane Dabo]] 10 {{flagicon\|Brazil}} [[César Rodríguez Aparecido\|Fucking Bitch]] 20 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Fabio Liverani]] 31 {{flagicon\|Denmark}} [[Christian Keller]] 68 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Christian Manfredini]] 85 {{flagicon\|Switzerland}} [[Valon Behrami]] TBD {{flagicon\|Belgium}} [[Gaby Mudingayi]] \|width="50"\|  \|valign="top"\| '''Attackers''' 9 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Paolo Di Canio]] 17 {{flagicon\|Albania}} [[Igli Tare]] 18 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Tommaso Rocchi]] 19 {{flagicon\|Macedonia}} [[Goran Pandev]] 21 {{flagicon\|Italy}} [[Simone Inzaghi]] \|} ==Team honors== The Master Chief's childhood was spent in Elysium City, on the planet of Eridanus 2 where he lived with his family. His name was John and he was large for his age at the time, approximately a [[Foot (unit of length)\|foot]] above his school peers, a sign of a "perfect genetic match" for a project dubbed "Spartan II".

This specific form of clone was employed to ensure that none of the families knew that their children had been kidnapped, and to quickly die so that the parents would never seek their "lost" child. The original children were brought to planet [[Reach]], one of the [[UNSC]]'s headquarters, to train to become Spartans. On Reach, the abducted children began intensive special training as part of the Spartan program, and were assigned new names. John became known as John-117. ''[http://www.sslazio.it/ Official site]'' (in [[Italian language\|Italian]]) [http://www.lazionet.net Lazio.net Community] (Ass. Cult. Lazio.net) [http://www.fcitalia.com/lazio/news/newslazio.htm SS Lazio News] (FC Italia, in Italian) [http://www.laziofever.com LazioFever] The International site in English language about Lazio [http://www.franciabiancoceleste.com Francia Biancoceleste] (Ultras Lazio, in french) {{Serie A}} On the first day john meets his team Kelly and Sam. They later become best friends. At the age of eight they are sen tout into the wilderness. Their trainer Chief Petty Officer Mendes says the last person had to walk back to the base. John wanted to make sure everyone got back so he and the fellow spartans stole a pelican. (large transport craft) When they returned home Mendez deemed him squad leader. ~~The children were biologically modified and enhanced, undergoing the following procedures:~~ Advanced [[carbide]] [[ceramic]] material grafted onto bones to increase durability * [[Protein complex]] injections to increase muscle density and lower recovery time * Body [[growth hormone]] pellet injections to boost [[skeleton\|skeletal]] and muscle tissue growth * [[occipital lobe\|Occipital]] [[capillary]] reversal to increase blood flow to the eyes, resulting in enhanced vision * [[superconductor\|Superconducting]] fibers added to [[nerve ending]]s, resulting in 300% increase in reflexes and increases in intelligence, memory, and creativity. These procedures had substantial risks, and only 33 Spartans of the original 75 survived to functional status. Of the others, 12 suffered 'significant impairment' and were relegated to tactical duties. The rest died. John, during his time with the Spartans, was deemed the "luckiest" and was the first to test the MJOLNIR armor. He also took command of the trainees during free-form tactical exercises and was eventually made squad leader. John-117's first mission was against rebels in the asteroid belt of the Eridanus System, where his homeworld was located. He was wounded but not incapacitated while leading his squad to capture Colonel Robert Watts, leader of the rebels. Later on, he was briefed on the [[The Covenant\|Covenant]] threat; he and his Spartans would fight for the next 30 years against this new threat. They first have to go destroy a covenant frigate. Sam dies because his MJOLNIR opens up so he can not breath in the vacumm of space. John looses his best friend. Out of the 5 spartans who went on that mission only 2 survived. ~~===Halo: Combat Evolved/The Flood===~~ As humanity fought a losing war against the Covenant, the UNSC High Command developed a last-ditch plan to capture a Covenant starship. Before this mission could be put into action, Reach, the staging ground for the operation, was attacked. The majority of the Spartans were diverted to Reach's surface to defend groundside installations. The Master Chief was sent along with a few other Spartans to destroy a small Office of Naval Intelligence ship docked at a space station orbiting the planet so the ship's navigation info, which could lead the Covenant to Earth, would not fall into enemy hands. As the Earth fleet and the ground defending Reach were being destroyed the Master Chief managed to return to the ''Pillar of Autumn'', and the ship fled from Reach following a seemingly random course as per the [[Halo: Combat Evolved#The Cole Protocol\|Cole Protocol]]. Upon coming out of [[slipspace]], the ''Pillar of Autumn'' was attacked by the Covenant and crash landed on [[Installation 04 (Halo)\|Installation 04]], AKA ''Halo''. In the midst of fighting the Covenant, it was discovered that Halo was a ring-shaped construct created by the Forerunners as a last line of defense against an alien scourge called [[The Flood (Halo)\|The Flood]], which was released at some point by either the [[Forerunners]] or their legacy; a majority of the Covenant and UNSC troops who landed on Halo were infected by The Flood. On behalf of the installation's Caretaker, [[343 Guilty Spark]], the Master Chief retrieved the Index, a device which would activate Halo and wipe out the Flood... By destroying all life within a large radius, essentially starving The Flood to death; its activation would also trigger the other six Installations, which would wipe the entire galaxy clean of sentient life. [[Cortana (Halo)\|Cortana]]'s timely intervention prevented Halo's activation, and the two decided to destroy Halo itself. Fighting off Covenant, Flood and Forerunner Sentinels, the Chief made his way back to the ''Pillar of Autumn'' and used the ship's fusion reactor core to trigger an explosion, destroying Halo and crippling the Covenant invasion/occupation forces led by the future [[Arbiter (Halo)\|Arbiter]] that had destroyed Reach and pursued the ''Pillar of Autumn''. ~~===First Strike===~~ The Master Chief, along with the few UNSC personnel who survived Halo, managed to capture the Covenant command flagship cruiser ''Ascendant Justice'', and returned to Reach to contact Earth's High Command. At Reach, the Master Chief discovers that the Covenant have not eradicated the planet's biosphere the way they normally do, and that a few other Spartans are still alive. He retrieves them, as well as Dr. Catherine Halsey, the originator of the SPARTAN project. The Spartans then attack a Covenant space station, the ''Unyielding Hierophant'', which is being used as a staging area for an attack on Earth. By the end of the novel, the only other remaining Halo survivor is Sergeant Avery Johnson. Furthermore, only four of the original Spartans are in active service: Linda (SPARTAN-058, who died during the Reach space op but was later revived), Will (SPARTAN-043), Fred (SPARTAN-104), and John himself. Kelly, SPARTAN-087, is still alive but has been kidnapped by Dr. Halsey for purposes unknown. All other Spartans are either MIA or confirmed KIA. Though they must be put as MIA because it still gives hope to the human race. ~~===Halo 2===~~ Upon arriving back at Earth, the Chief's Mark V MJOLNIR armor was replaced by the new Mark VI model. He attended a brief awards ceremony aboard the Cairo Defense Platform, which was interrupted by a Covenant invasion force. The Covenant boarded the Cairo, but were repelled by the Master Chief and the UNSC troops. He destroyed one of their ships with their own bomb intended to destroy the ''Cairo'', and reached the ''In Amber Clad'' which descended to [[New Mombasa, East African Protectorate\|New Mombasa]] to combat Covenant landing troops. He boarded and destroyed a Scarab with the assistance of a small squad of Marines. As the Covenant departed using a [[slipspace]] jump within the city, the ''In Amber Clad'' followed them to a new Halo designated [[Installation 05\|Delta Halo]]. On Delta Halo, he fought and killed the [[High Prophets (Halo)\|High Prophet]] of Regret. The Chief was then captured by the [[Gravemind]] after barely escaping from the High Prophet's main temple and met his Covenant Elite counterpart, the [[Arbiter (Halo)\|Arbiter]]. The Gravemind had a secret agenda and sent the Chief to infilitrate [[High Charity]] to stop the Prophets activation of Halo, while the Arbiter went to also try and stop [[Tartarus (Halo)\|Tartarus]] from activating the ring. The Master Chief followed the High Prophet to a Forerunner ship and managed to board it before it embarks for [[the Ark (Halo)\|the Ark]] which is presumed to be on Earth. Cortana remained on High Charity to detonate the ''In Amber Clad'' in case Delta Halo was activated. Upon arriving in the Solar System, Spartan-117 informed the UNSC defending Earth that he was "finishing this fight." ~~==External links==~~ * [http://halosm.bungie.org/story/masterchief.html The Master Chief's profile] at [http://www.bungie.org Bungie.org]. * [http://library.psyjnir.net/?id=202 Master Chief John-117] at the Halo library. * [http://wiki.blackboxrepublic.com The Halo Wiki] [[Category:Italian football clubs\|Lazio]] ~~{{Halo characters}}~~ [[Category:Rome\|Lazio S.S.]] [[~~Category~~cs:~~Halo~~SS Lazio]] [[da:S.S.
