William "Billy" Rhodes

Corporal William "Billy" Rhodes is a 25-year-old Rhino Squad demolitions expert from Fort Worth, Texas.

History
Rhodes joined the Space Marine Corps as soon as it was legal to, where he quickly specialized in demolitions. He has been demoted twice due to altercations with military police.

Stroggos
On Stroggos, Rhodes is with MSgt. Marian Bidwell. After Kane and Cpl. Mahler's team secured the hangar, Rhodes arrived to destroy it. After destroying both hangars, Rhodes was called away by 1Lt. Scott Voss. When the anti-aircraft gun is secured, Rhodes arrives to destroy it.

During Operation: Advantage, Rhodes disarms the mines that blocks the Death convoy, where Kane will provide cover. Afterwards, he is not seen for the rest of the operation. When Kane is captured and stroggified, Rhodes is present when Kane is rescued, nearly shooting him before Voss stops him. After PFC Jeremiah Anderson notifies him that Kane isn't dangerous, Rhodes breaks open the glass cylinder holding him.

During Operation: Last Hope, Rhodes helps Kane get to the top of the data storage tower and stays behind to defend the security console. He is later seen on the Hannibal shortly after the final battle, congratulating Kane.
