His name is Agent Locke. As in Marlowe Locke the character in Ridley Scott’s Halo production.
That certainly quashes lots of speculation. The fact that he’s called an Agent is something, rather than Spartan. Definitely the ONI way.
I’m still going to go with the possibility of this new ‘Spartan’ being a clone of Master Chief.
His designation number is: 00-8221-3. The ’00’ portion you’d have to think is the first batch. The 8221 COULD be the date of creation. August 2, 2521. This would make the new Spartan roughly 10 years 5 months younger than Master Chief (Who’s birthday is March 7, 2511). Which would mean he’s had the time to grow naturally, instead of being a ‘flash clone’. The ‘3’ at the end would be the specific clone number. He’s the third clone from the batch on that day.
Yes, cloning is deemed illegal in the UNSC, but we all know ONI plays by it’s own rules…
At this point, it’s anyone’s guess.

nah! I Knew it. Spartan “Locke” as Arby calls him is a hunting down the Master Chief because he is crazy and went rouge. it makes perfect sense
I wouldn’t say crazy. I think Master Chief has gone on his own mission. One to either find a way to bring Cortana back and/or to find Halsey. Locke is being sent to retrieve him. Locke is studying Chief’s mission to understand how he operates. I think we’ll be playing saw both during the campaign. And eventually, the two will become allies.
Interesting theory……still not sure how I feel about a new major character though.
