Everyone with a passing interest in games probably recognizes the green man that usually reps Xbox and Halo – for a time, in the Xbox 360 era, he was almost as ever present as Mario.

Halo co-creator and Bungie’s former art director Marcus Lehto recently spoke with Kent State Magazine, the university he once attended, about his long career. Lehto recalled that he was first attracted to the FPS hit maker after playing the original Marathon and was quickly doing UI work for the company on Myth: Fallen Lords.
But what Lehto would become most known for was, arguably, the Master Chief.
