If you want to find out about his past, the best thing to do is to read the first Halo novel... Halo: Fall of Reach

A basic rundown of Master Chief and the story of Fall of Reach in my own words:
At a very young age, John-117 and many other Spartan II candidates were scouted for their superior genetics and subesquently abducted by Catherine Halsey, the leader and head scientist of the Spartan II program. The children were replaced by flash clones to cover up the abductions. Once the trainees reached camp at planet Reach, under the eye of CPO Mendez, they grew up together to overcome the many obstacles and training that Mendez threw at them. In short, the Spartans were all they had, and this forged a strong bond within the Spartans. (Partly manipulated by the trainers and training program itself) John-117 was particular amongst the group in that he was the leader of group as every Spartan deferred to him in training and combat. I believe around 150 trainees were recruited. Spartans were also trained in just about everything, from history, military strategies/tactics, weapons, hand to hand combat, vehicles, improvisation on the field, etc.
When it came time for the Spartans to receive their major dose of experimental drugs to make them faster and stronger (physical/mental biological enhancements), only less than half of the Spartans made it. Out of the 150 recruits, only 75 Spartans were selected, and even less than half of the 75 survived the procedure, give or take around 25-35 operational Spartans. John-117 was also put through a hand-to-hand combat trial with ODST soldiers, killing them in the process (unknown to John) and creating the rivalry between the ODST division and the Spartans. After readjustments to their bodies, tests followed soon after, and the results even surprised the trainers and researchers. They were soon put into real action, such as abducting the governor of the rebel forces on the asteroid Eriadanus. (sp?) Soon, the Spartans received their Mark series armor and several missions followed after, like the assault and recon on Sigma Octanus VI. (sp?) Eventually all Spartans were refitted with the Mark V armor that had the reversed-engineered Covenant shielding. John-117 was forced to do another test with said armor and he passed it with flying colors with the help of Cortana, the AI that had a 90-something percent match with John-117 and was fitted with the new armor.
Soon after, the Spartans were put on the most dangerous mission all - capture a Covenant Prophet to broker an armistice due to the fact that the humans were losing the war against the Covenant. It was only a matter of time. John-117 was made Master Chief of the group due to his above average abilities, leadership qualities, and his exceptional luck that no other Spartan could rival, e.g. Kelly was the fastest, Sam was the strongest, Linda was the best sniper, etc. Thus, Captain Jacob Keyes (part of the Spartan scouting expedition with Dr. Halsey mentioned in the beginning) was placed in charge of the Pillar of Autumn, but before the mission could start, the Covenant came to Reach due to a latched bug on Captain Keyes's old ship from the Octanus system fight. Master Chief sent most of the Spartans (around 15-20) to Reach groundside and he and two other Spartans destroyed the AI on one of the ships that hadn't initiated the Cole Protocol. More fighting ensues, and Master Chief with a near comatose Linda is aboard the Pillar of Autumn and they make a slipspace jump to the beginning event of Halo: Combat Evolved.
Further history of Master Chief John-117 is explained through his involvement in Halo, Halo 2, and Halo 3. Above all else, he wants to win and places the mission before anything else. When the Flood and the Covenant Civil War came, his priority was changed to the overall scope of saving humanity period.
I fucking breathe Halo.

Only Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 are available for PC. No other game in the Halo franchise will be ported to PC, which sucks. Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo ODST are all games that are XBOX 360 exclusive.

It's true. Check out the Halo wiki and Bungie.com. Halo 3 and onwards are XBOX exclusive, which pisses me off but there's not much we can do about it.
I'm wondering if anyone here bothered to read my wall of text on Master Chief. I think it's a much more accurate version than what the wikipedia has on The Fall of Reach.

Haha yeah I read it. I loved that book, I have the first 3, perhaps we should compare notes?

@hereforhentai: if you loved my first wall of text, you'll love this one. However, I noticed that some of my numbers are wrong. It was actually 75 Spartans selected out of 150 for the augmentation process, with less than half of the 75 who made it through the final augmentation process.
Here's a pretty accurate list of Spartans that came out through the augmentation procedure and the current status of each, which I thought it be interesting for others to know what truly happened to the Spartans at the end:
Adriana-111 - MIA in Cole Protocol, as no further info is given after with Jai and Mike
Alice-130 - MIA in Halo Wars, as no further info is given after with Douglas and Jerome
Anton-044 - KIA in First Strike, onboard the Ascendant Justice protecting the dropbay with Li
Cassandra-075 - MIA/WIA in Fall of Reach, undergoing medial procedures to be on duty at the M25L Recovery Station
Douglas-042 - MIA in Halo Wars, as no further info is given after with Alice and Jerome
Fred-104 - MIA in Ghosts of Onyx, in the shield world of Onyx with Kelly and Linda
Grace-093 - KIA in First Strike, onboard the Unyielding Hierophant by brutes
Issac-039 - presumed KIA in First Strike, on Reach as he and Vinh were covering Blue Team's 6
Jai-006 - MIA in Cole Protocol, as no further info is given after with Adriana and Mike
James-[Redacted] - presumed MIA or KIA
Jerome-092 - MIA in Halo Wars, as no further info is given after with Alice and Douglas
John-117 - MIA in space, waiting for someone to pick up his capsule one day
Joshua-029 - KIA in First Strike, gunned down on Reach in his banshee
Kelly-087 - MIA in Ghosts of Onyx, in the shield world of Onyx with Linda and Fred
Kurt-051 - KIA in Ghosts of Onyx, on Onyx through detonation of nuclear mines
Li-008 - KIA in First Strike, onboard the Ascendant Justice protecting the dropbay with Anton
Linda-058 - MIA in Ghosts of Onyx, in the shield world of Onyx with Kelly and Fred
Malcolm-059 - KIA in First Strike, on Reach and died on impact from jumping from a Pelican
Maria-062 - only spartan not in military duty, and leads a "normal" life as a researcher for weapons and is married. (O_O)
Mike-[Redacted] - MIA in Cole Protocol, as no further info is given after with Adriana and Jai
Randall-[Redacted] - presumed MIA or KIA
Samuel-034 - KIA in Fall of Reach, the first Spartan casualty while boarding a Covenant ship
Sheila-[Redacted] - presumed MIA or KIA
Vinh-030 - presumed KIA in First Strike, on Reach as she and Issac were covering Blue Team's 6
William-043 - KIA in Ghosts of Onyx, on Onyx by a Hunter blast
-----
Nicole-458 [non-canon, from the game Dead or Alive 4]
(Yes, they're all supposed to be designated as MIA by ONI regulations for morale purposes, but here MIA denotes actual MIA not WIA or KIA.)
Here's a more definitive list of Spartans that were too disabled for active duty after the augmentation process:
Fhajad-084 - WIA
Kirk-018 - WIA
Rene-005 - WIA
Yasmine Zaman-[Redacted] - WIA
If anything is wrong or lacking, please tell me, and I'll update the list. I got a lot of my info from the Halo Encyclopedia, wikipedia, Halo.wikia, and my knowledge/memory of the novels. I actually bought the Halo Encyclopedia - too good to pass up. It's a fucking awesome book of 350 pages, with huge illustrations and lots of detailed info on the Haloverse:

I'm actually not that big of a Halo fan, just played the games, and didn't go any further.

@ImperialX: thanks man. The list though was more for my own curiosity as well, and I would think people would wanna know what really happened to the Spartans. Through this, we know that Master Chief John-117 is definitely not the only living Spartan out there, but we all know he's the hero of the story.

To be frank, the Halo franchise is probably on of the best developed series out there in the gaming community, and the numbers don't lie. The creativity and appeal to human values using the crux of "war" grabs people in. Humans are about to face total extinction from a hostile alien species bent on destroying everything we lived and died for. One extraodinary soldier has the ability to change this future: Master Chief - and thus the Haloverse is born.
If really wanted to explain why I love the series so much, it'd be an essay, no joke. There are too many factors and facets of Haloverse to comment on why I love Halo so much. Comparable to the Iliad, this is a literal Hero's Journey in modern format. Graphics, animation, music, plot, plot pacing, character design, character interaction, gameplay, and marketing were good if not downright excellent. It started out small, but Bungie became ambitious, read the audience/market, and pushed out what they wanted and more. It's why Halo is so popular that Master Chief is the mascot for XBOX and a modern superhero comparable to Luke Skywalker, Superman, and even Frodo.
Halo is simply that good. (The first game was somewhat boring/repetitive, but I forgive them.)
This trailer showcases some of the elements that make Halo so good, like animation (including camera angling), marketing, human values, music, action:
and this one:
Finish the Fight - what a fucking awesome catchphrase. Makes you feel so GAR inside.

So if someone wanted to read the novels, where should they start?
I've been hearing a lot lately about how good the books are. I always dismissed them thinking they were just another way of cashing in on Halo's popularity.

Chronologically speaking:
Contact Harvest
Cole Protocol
Fall of Reach
The Flood
First Strike
Ghosts of Onyx
and the comic book series and picture books.
It's recommended to read these four novels first for familiarity and in the following order:
1. Fall of Reach - events prior to Halo: Combat Evolved
2. The Flood - events in Halo: Combat Evolved
3. First Strike - events between Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2
4. Ghosts of Onyx - events during Halo 2
-----
- You go back in time for a little history on Sergeant A.J. Johnson and the first meeting with the Covenant with Contact Harvest.
- Cole Protocol comes after as it details a mission of the Spartan II Gray Team.
Note that all books, comics, and picture books are considered canon in the Haloverse, so it makes it worthwhile reading. I recommend reading the four then then the other two. These novels add more background and dimension to the Haloverse that makes it so much more real and believable.

The first three i find...out of date compared to later fluff, however they are an official part of the Halo universe. Also, i really dislike The Flood cos of the way the author writes the humans on Halo and how they all act so damn good. My favourites gonna be Cole Protocol, and i cant believe it was Staten's first time writing.
The Halo comic series aint that good either cos of the plot changes and so it may get a bit anti dramatic in the end, but the art is good. Hope the ODST series and the Spartan comics are any better.
