A Civilian, according to international humanitarian law, is a person who is not a member of his or her country's armed forces. The term is also often used colloquially to refer to people who are not members of a particular profession or occupation, especially by law enforcement agencies, which often use rank structures similar to those of military units. Often, the military's main purpose and occupation is to defend the civilians from invaders. However, many civilians, such as Dr. Catherine Halsey are involved with the military. So far, extremely few have been seen in any of the Halo games. Except for the factory workers in Voi and the civilian vacationers in Arcadia, no civilian characters appear in any of the games, besides the meta-game Sadie's Story in Halo 3: ODST. However, civilian characters appear more frequently in materials outside the games.[1][2][3][4] Both civilians and civilian vehicles are expected to have an increased role and appearance in Halo: Reach.
