Yup John-117

When they were recruited int othe Spartan-II program all of the candidates kept their first names alone. The Master Chief's was John, and he was the 117th Spartan-II, hence he is known as John-117.

actually, Spartans arnt assigned numbers, they choose there number, like basket ball or some other sport,

Oh cool, that was the bit I wasn't sure about

Yep, John-117, middleage at around 45 years old. No one knows about the face, I heard Bungie never created a face for him despite that they will never show it.

well, you can actually see what he looked like before the program, but nobody knows currently, and he might be younger than that, with all the suspended animation and slip-space stuff. I suspect an absurd head injury, because he's crazy, like the Manfred Von Richtofen, (red baron). He got shot in the head leaving a very noticeable hole in his skull, and he got shot down because he went crazy and chased this one poor guy during the whole dogfight, and flew straight into AA. In other words, MC might not have much of a face

Yeah, he's almost definitely younger then 45. I mean, Sergeant Johnson was TECHNICALLY about 85 when he died, but because of slipspace and the decreased aging in suspended animation, he was a LOT younger then that.
