(My basic backstory for Scythe was as follows:

Scythe 6-2, real name unknown, was arrested for public intoxication shortly before the Collapse. Given the option of sitting in prison while the world ended around him, or leaving a trail of destruction while covering the evacuation of Earth, he chose the latter.

He eventually found himself in a unit of specialized Marine paratroopers who had lost their ship after a drop into the highlands of central Vietnam. The Fallen had a heavy presence there, but Scythe's unit managed to eke out an existence with the aid of recovered weapons, vehicles, and technology from their crashed ship. They carried out ambush after ambush as part of a fighting retreat, hoping to find a way off-planet. They inflicted heavy losses on the Fallen, but took casualties themselves. When their ammo started to run low, Scythe took to scavenging Fallen weapons and became particulary good with a shock sword.

Eventually, they fell back to the Cosmodrome in Russia. Given orders to hold off the Fallen while the colony ships escaped, they pooled their ammo for one last battle. 50 soldiers and a handful of worn-out T-130 tanks faced hundreds of Fallen with Walkers and Pikes. Scythe led some of the others in attacking the Pikes, and were initially successful. In the end, Scythe was stuck and killed by a Walker round to the head. Even after coming back as a Guardian, most of his memories did not return)
