In the foreword for a collection titled The Art of Halo, Jason Jones noted that bringing together the elements of a video game is unmistakably "art".^[1]. However, Jones also noted that the character designers and artists had to make a "living, breathing world" and populate it with interesting characters and places.^[1] The game's development which spanned four years brought numerous evolutions and revisions to the character's designs and personalities.^[2] Characters were also updated to take full advantage of new graphics technologies; for instance, the Master Chief's armor was redesigned in a lengthy conceptual process and the final model was bump mapped.^[3] Jason Jones is the name of: Jason Jones (actor), Daily Show correspondent. ...

Character design and creation

Halo's characters were continually refined through development, as the company was bought by Microsoft and the platform shifted from the Macintosh to the Xbox. Other Bungie developers would often add input to the progress of characters in Halo, even if they were not working on the game itself.^[4] For example, an outside artist, Shi Kai Wang, developed the early concept sketches of what would eventually become the Master Chief. However upon developing a 3D model, the artists decided the Chief looked too slender, almost effeminate, and subsequently bulked up the character.^[5] Early Covenant Elites had a more natural jaw rather than the split mandibles they would later sport; at one point, Jason Jones was also insistent about having a tail on the Elites, but this idea was eventually dropped.^[6] Microsoft Corporation, (NASDAQ: MSFT, HKSE: 4338) is a multinational computer technology corporation with global annual revenue of US$44. ...

Designers decided to hand-key animations, rather than attempt motion capture.^[7] The animators also often video taped themselves to have reference footage for the movement of game characters. Art Director Marcus Lehto had his wife videotape him "running around a field with a two-by-four, playing soldier" while working on the human marines.^[8] Many of the subsequent human character's features were based off Bungie designers,^[8] while character animators looked too simian, ursine, insectoid and reptilian features for the various races of the Covenant.^[9] Motion capture, or mocap, is a technique of digitally recording the movements of real things — usually humans — it originally developed as an analysis tool in biomechanics research, but has grown increasingly important as a source of motion data for computer animation. ...

She is able to retrieve the Master Chief and deploy him, along with many of her marines, to assist in the defense of New Mombasa. When the High Prophet of Regret retreats from Earth by initiating a slipspace jump, Keyes orders the pilots of In Amber Clad to follow Regret's ship, resulting in the ship's arrival near Delta Halo. Keyes decides to deploy two teams to the surface of Halo: one, led by the Master Chief, would locate and assassinate Regret, while she and Sergeant Johnson would locate the Index- an item which activates Halo- before the Covenant. She and Johnson are able to reach the Index, but are captured by Tartarus. As a "Reclaimer" (descendant of the Forerunner), only she or another human can insert the Index into Halo's control panel, and Tartarus attempts to make her to do this. When the Arbiter tries to stop the firing, Tartarus forces Keyes to insert the Index, initiating Halo's firing sequence. After the Arbiter and Johnson engage and kill Tartarus, Keyes successfully removes the Index and prevents Halo from activating, but inadvertently causes all remaining Halo installations to enter standby mode, enabling the remote firing of these installations from The Ark.^[26] This article is about Earth as a planet. ...

Catherine Halsey

Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey is a civilian scientist in the UNSC. She only appears in the books Halo: The Fall of Reach, Halo: First Strike, and Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. In the fiction, a flash clone of her brain tissue is the basis for the construction of the "smart" AI Cortana.^[27] As the creator of the SPARTAN-II Project, she is responsible for the kidnapping of the seventy-five Spartan children, along with their training and the subsequent death of thirty of them due to the dangerous augmentation process.^[28] She is viewed by the SPARTAN-IIs as a "mother" figure.

Halsey enjoys the time she spends with her Spartans, each of whom she addresses by first name rather than designation.^[29] Little is known of her personal life, but it is implied that she is a lonely workaholic, and highly criticized for her involvement with the SPARTAN-II project. Halsey justifies her actions through her belief that the suffering of a few is acceptable for the benefit of many. Sergeant Johnson, however, unknowingly causes Halsey to rethink her position, and she decides to "save each and every member of humanity beginning with herself".^[30] During First Strike Dr. Halsey hijacks a shuttle for her own private mission to the planet Onyx.^[31] There, she assists in deciphering the surrounding Forerunner ruins on the planet and leads the surviving humans on the planet to a Dyson Sphere contained within the spatially compressed core of the planet.

James Ackerson

Colonel James Ackerson is a high ranking officer in the Office of Naval Intelligence, who has seen many years of service and has survived several battles with the Covenant. Such is his influence that he dominates the Security Committee and can talk down most higher-ranking officers without fear of reprisal.^[32] Due to the competition between Ackerson and other departments, most notably Section Three and the SPARTAN-II project, Ackerson harbors a strong resentment toward his opponents and toward the Spartans in particular. In Halo: The Fall of Reach, he attempts to sabotage the MJOLNIR Mark V testing process by using ordnance far above the established guidelines, including Lotus anti-tank mines, a full squad of ODSTs ordered to shoot to kill, automated gun turrets, and an airstrike with a fighter. However, Cortana soon got back at Ackerson by forging a letter requesting a reassignment to the front lines as well as planting evidence of illicit activities in his bank records. In Halo: First Strike, it is revealed that Ackerson manages to weasel his way out of Cortana's mess,^[33] and is in charge of the SPARTAN-III program. In the limited comic series Halo: Uprising Ackerson falls into the hands of Covenant orbiting Mars, is tortured and is slated to die, revealing the presence of a "key" on Earth to his interrogators.^[34] The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) was established in the United States Navy in 1882. ...

Franklin Mendez

Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez is the SPARTAN-II's trainer on Reach during the early events of Halo: The Fall of Reach. He provides his trainees with excellent weapons and physical lessons, as well as tactical and mental training. He is not very talkative, but possesses a brilliant mind for warfare, and this is reflected in the Master Chief's abilities. He is described as neither tall nor muscular, with close-cut hair that has a dash of gray at the temples.^[35] He leaves the Spartans after the discovery of the Covenant to train the next batch of Spartans,^[36] and is recruited by Colonel Ackerson to assist Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose with training the SPARTAN-III supersoldiers at the secret world of Onyx after a few years of combat duty (receiving two Purple Hearts in the process).^[37] During Ghosts of Onyx is sealed inside the Forerunner Dyson Sphere at the heart of the planet, with the remaining human survivors.^[38] The SPARTAN II supersoldier project is part of the fictional Halo universe storyline. ...

Terrence Hood

Admiral Hood aboard the ODP Cairo

Fleet Admiral Lord Terrence Hood (voiced by Ron Perlman) first appears in the novel, Halo: First Strike. He is a member of the UNSC Security Committee and is the Chief of Naval Operations. He greatly respects the Spartans, not only because of their record, but because they have saved his life on two occasions.^[39] When Halo 2 begins Admiral Hood presents the Master Chief, Sergeant Johnson, and Miranda Keyes with medals aboard the Cairo Station. In Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Hood receives an urgent message by Dr. Halsey requesting for him to send Spartans to assist her, and obliges by ordering Fred-104, Will-043, and Linda-058 to Onyx.

In Halo 3, Hood is in overall command of Earth's defense with Commander Miranda Keyes reporting directly to him. He accepts the need for humanity to ally with the Elites, but is not entirely happy about it. He leads the remaining human naval forces in an attack on the Prophet of Truth's dreadnaught,^[40] but the attack fails when the Forerunner artifact under New Mombasa activates, creating a portal to the Ark. When the Master Chief, Keyes, and several Elite and human forces choose to follow the Prophet of Truth through the portal, he decides to stay behind to make a final stand on Earth, saying "This is either the best decision you've ever made or the worst. Either way, I doubt I will live long enough to know which."^[41] In the end of the game, he commemorates a small monument to the war and the sacrifices it involved, especially lamenting the loss of Commander Miranda Keyes, Sergeant Avery Johnson, and Master Chief John-117. When the Arbiter comes to pay his respects, he tells him that he can never forgive what has happened, but thanks him for staying with the Master Chief until his apparent death.^[42] For the Nine Inch Nails release, see Head Like a Hole. ...

Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb is deputy chief of naval operations in the UNSC. When Reach falls under Covenant attack before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved, he is rescued by Gamma Team, a division of the Spartans sent to defend Reach from the Covenant invasion.^[43] He is later picked up by the Master Chief and escaped in Gettysburg-Ascendant Justice. Whitcomb sacrifices himself to destroy the bulk of the Covenant invasion fleet near the Unyielding Hierophant. Broadcasting a challenge to fight along with a picture of a Forerunner artifact the Covenant had been searching for, Whitcomb uses the captured Covenant cruiser Ascendant Justice to cluster the Covenant around the Hierophant, whose reactors are about to detonate.^[44] The station explodes, destroying almost all of the Covenant fleet.^[45] United Nations Space Corps Defense Force Emblem. ...

Major Antonio Silva is commander of the Marine Helljumper battalion on the Pillar of Autumn when it crashes on Halo in Halo: Combat Evolved. An Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, Silva harbors little love for the SPARTAN-II program, bearing a grudge from when several of his fellow Helljumpers were killed as a test of a Spartan's willingness to obey orders.^[49] Though a brilliant tactical commander, Silva is ambitious to a fault, and is also very protective of his own troops. His subordinates feel his ambition clouds his judgement.^[50] At the end of Halo: The Flood, he led the assault and capture of the Covenant ship Truth and Reconciliation, and, blinded by his own ambitions, refused to exterminate the remaining Flood specimens on board, believing that humanity needed to see live specimens of the parasite.^[51] He is killed when his subordinate, Lieutenant McKay, destroys the cruiser rather than let the Flood escape.

Melissa McKay

Lieutenant Melissa McKay is Major Silva's executive officer during the events of Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo: The Flood. A brave and stalwart officer who fought in several battles on the Halo construct, McKay was driven close to the breaking point as the battle wore on and the Flood parasite began to emerge. At the end of the novel, McKay attempted to convince Silva that they could not leave Halo with live Flood specimens on board their captured ship, but Silva refused to listen to her.^[52] Taking matters into her own hands, McKay destroyed a critical control line to the cruiser's bridge, causing the ship to crash and killing everyone on board to contain the spread of the Flood.^[52] While Executive officer literally refers to a person responsible for the performance of duties involved in running an organization, the exact meaning of the role is highly variable, depending on the organization. ...

Halo: Contact Harvest reveals that the soldier was a member of the colony Harvest's defense squad, where his family is killed. In Halo: The Flood, Jenkins assists in defending the human stronghold under the command of Major Antonio Silva. He is also part of an assault team led by Sergeant Avery Johnson and Captain Jacob Keyes, sent to recover a Covenant arms cache during Halo: Combat Evolved. The team is overwhelmed by the Flood, leaving the entire squad except Sergeant Johnson infected and resulting in the eventual death of Captain Keyes.

While the Master Chief is the only soldier of the SPARTAN-II Project seen in the game, many others are featured or mentioned in the Halo novels.

Kurt-051

Kurt-051 is one of the primary characters of Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. Kurt graduated with the original class of SPARTAN-IIs. Kurt was much more social than the other Spartans, going to lengths to be friends with not only his fellow Spartans but also the support personnel who trained and aided them.^[66] Although some (particularly John-117, the leader of the Spartans) found this quality to be detrimental to his duties, he proved to be an able leader and often led the Green Team in training exercises.^[66] After the death of Sam-034 in 2531, Kurt was assigned to replace him as a member of Blue Team under the command of John-117. Later that year, on a mission in the Groombridge 34 system, his thruster pack apparently malfunctioned while EVA. He was recovered by the UNSC Prowler Point of No Return, unbeknownst to his teammates.^[67] In actuality, the "accident" had been elaborately staged by Colonel James Ackerson of the Office of Naval Intelligence in order to recruit Kurt to head up the SPARTAN-III program without anyone else knowing. He is given a new name and an officer's commission, effectively starting a new life as Lieutenant Kurt Ambrose.^[68] Kurt is assigned to head up the selection and training of the next generation of Spartans, training three companies of approximately three hundred SPARTAN-IIIs each at Onyx. During Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Kurt is killed by detonating two FENRIS nuclear warheads to prevent the Covenant from pursuing his comrades into the Dyson Sphere.

AIs

A common presence on UNSC worlds and fleets, advanced artificial intelligences serve as highly capable computerized assistants in everything from naval warfare and military planning to accounting. UNSC AIs come in two types, "dumb" and "smart." "Dumb" AIs are specialized in one specific field and cannot improve their knowledge in regards to any other field or grow in terms of processing power. "Smart" AIs are unlimited in their ability to expand and learn, though their rapid rate of self-advancement results in a cognitive "death" after roughly seven operational years, due to critical system functions being used up by the AI to think and process, analogous to a human using so much of their brain to think that they no longer breathe.^[70] AI redirects here. ...

Chieftain Tartarus

Tartarus (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) is the Chieftain of the Brutes, easily recognized by his white hair, distinctive mohawk, and massive gravity hammer. He is named for the deepest part of the Ancient Greek underworld, where the Titans are imprisoned. Rough, arrogant, and disdainful of the Covenant Elite, Tartarus is completely dedicated to the Prophets' "Great Journey". Tartarus makes his first appearance in the novel Halo: First Strike, in the chamber of the High Prophet of Truth. Tartarus reports that the Covenant Fleet preparing to attack Earth has been destroyed. He had scoured the wreckage of the Covenant attack coordination station Unyielding Hierophant after its destruction at the hands of the Master Chief, and recovered an artifact that had all but been lost to the destruction: only three small chips remain, which he presents to Truth. He is instructed to reward the surviving pilots well, and then to "execute them all. Quickly. Quietly."^[79] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

It is revealed in the book Halo: Contact Harvest that Tartarus is the nephew of Brute Chieftain Maccabeus, whose tribe's custom was to have the Chieftain carry the Fist of Rukt. He also partcipated on the attack of Harvest in which he killed his uncle and took the Fist of Rukt. Maccabeus noted that while he had been able to follow instructions, he was not truly faithful to the cause of the Great Journey.

In Halo 2, Tartarus brands the Elite who would later become the Arbiter with the "Mark of Shame", and takes him to the Mausoleum of the Arbiters to carry out his execution. When the Prophets give the same Elite the role of the Arbiter, Tartarus is displeased, but does not openly voice his objections to the Prophets. He later appears when the Arbiter tries to retrieve the Index of Delta Halo. On the Prophets' orders, Tartarus takes the Index and pushes the Arbiter to what was intended to be his death in the deep central chasm of the Library.^[80] Tartarus then returns to High Charity with the Index, and captives Commander Miranda Keyes and Sergeant Avery Johnson, in his possession. While trying to get Miranda Keyes (the Reclaimer) to activate Halo, Tartarus is confronted by the Arbiter. Blind to the Prophets' deception, he activates Delta Halo and guards the Index from all comers.

Mendicant Bias

An unseen character, Mendicant Bias is a Forerunner A.I. mentioned and encountered repeatedly in the terminals that can be accessed in Halo 3. Bias is created by the Forerunners to coordinate their war against the Flood; however Gravemind convinces the A.I. that the Forerunner are holding back evolution in a selfish attempt to maintain the status quo; as a result, Mendicant Bias opts to join the Flood and lead their forces through the Forerunner defenses, forcing Didact to fire the Halo array. Despite his defeat, Offensive Bias saves the A.I., bringing him to the Ark, and occasionally talks with the protagonist through the terminals. At the final terminal in the game, Bias explains that he will attempt to help the Reclaimer (the Master Chief) in an effort to atone for his past transgressions.^[97] Television shows and stage plays sometimes include continuing characters — characters who are currently in frequent interaction with the other characters and who influence current story events — who are never seen or heard by the audience and only described by other characters. ...

Offensive Bias

Offensive Bias is a Forerunner artificial intelligence, created by Didact specifically to prevent a rampant Mendicant Bias from reaching the Ark and preventing Didact from firing the Halo rings. Offensive Bias, commanding a forerunner fleet of both artificially and biologically piloted ships, meets Mendicant Bias' fleet of Flood-controlled ships as they cross into Forerunner Space. Offensive Bias notes that Medicant's rampancy has affected its judgement,^[98] and leads the rampant A.I. into a trap, distracting Mendicant Bias and depleting its ships while the Forerunners set about activating the Halo network, rendering the Flood-controlled fleet useless. All those aboard the Forerunner ships were also killed by the Halo effect, but Offensive Bias, knowing his creators were going to activate the rings, was prepared to assume control of the Forerunner fleet after those onboard the ships were killed. Instead of destroying Medicant Bias utterly as he flees, Offensive Bias demonstrates a degree of mercy towards the rogue by preserving part of his personality construct array for study, noting that Mendicant Bias would not have likely extended him the same courtesy.^[99] In the Marathon video game series by Bungie Studios, rampancy is a fictional three-stage process that is a result of the uncontrolled expansion of an AI.
