This what I know about Buck -
Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck (more commonly known as "Buck") was a Staff Non-Commissioned Officer in the UNSC Marine Corps, and was an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper.
He was born in 2510 in New Albany in Lombard on Draco III. In 2528, when he was eighteen, he enlisted in the UNSC Marine Corps and followed it through as a career. He served in many battles, including the Second Battle of Harvest and the Battle of Reach.
He was regarded as an extremely competent Marine and was the commander of "The Squad" until Capt. "Dare" took responsibility before the drop on Mombasa, Kenya.
He served during the First Battle of Earth in 2552.
Other Information
As with most of the other Halo 3: ODST characters, his name can be seen on his chest plate.
Buck is voiced by Nathan Fillion, who also starred in Halo 3 as Gunnery Sergeant Reynolds. Buck's face also bears resemblance to Fillion.
Buck is the only ODST out of the Squad to wear a Combat Knife.
Buck was previously in a romantic relationship with Dare.
Buck is unlocked for play in Firefight by getting the Tayari Plaza achievement.
It is unknown how he made it back to Earth if he survived the fall of Reach. A ship that survived could have retreated to Earth. However, this is still not known.
He is described by Nathan Fillion himself as "a bit hardened and a bit cranky."
