==Biography==
Beowulf was present during the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs']] original briefing about the [[Covenant]] in the [[Reach FLEETCOM Military Complex]]'s secure briefing room on [[2525#November|November 2, 2525]]. Upon the instruction of [[Vice Admiral]] [[Michael Stanforth]], Beowulf reluctantly presented the classified [[First Battle of Harvest|destruction]] of [[Harvest]] to the Spartans. He also broadcasted a message across the amphitheatre from the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]], whom insisted that the destruction of [[human]]ity was the "will of the [[Forerunner|Gods]]". Afterwards, Beowulf left with Stanforth and Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]].{{Ref/Reuse|hfor117}}

He was later assigned to guard the UNSC's personnel and planning database. He knew [[Cortana]] well and knew that she was potentially dangerous. During her attempts to hack into the system, Beowulf foiled her attempts. However, Cortana quickly overcame his defenses and accessed SPARTAN [[John-117]]'s [[Career Service Vitae]].{{Ref/Reuse|Justice}}

As Beowulf served as Vice Admiral Stanforth's personal attaché, it is possible that the AI was destroyed when Stanforth was killed during the [[Fall of Reach]] on [[2552#August|August 30, 2552]].
