In [[2531]], Ackerson proposed the [[SPARTAN-III Program]] to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] senior brass, including [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Aaron G. Gibson|Aaron Gibson]], [[Rear Admiral (Lower Half)|Rear Admiral]] [[Ned Rich]], and [[Vice Admiral]] [[Margaret Orlenda Parangosky|Margaret O. Parangosky]].

After the destruction of [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company]], Ackerson tried to convince Kurt-051 to reassign [[Tom-B292]] to his personal command to head his own Special Warfare team. Instead, due to Admiral Parangosky's orders, he reluctantly agreed to have the SPARTAN reassigned to [[Camp Currahee]] to train [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 98''</ref> | |||

When word of the Key of Osanalan reached Ruwan, he helped form a plan to destroy the ''[[Harbinger of Piety]]'' and kill the [[Minister of Inquisition]], at the cost of his own life. After it was successfully carried out, the Covenant realized that the Key of Osanalan was not real. Ackerson used the last moments of his life to mock the Covenant, saying that the Key of Osanalan was just one example of how the Covenant's pompous arrogance would cause them to lose the war. Lepidus then beheaded Ackerson, claiming that the Covenant's blind fervor would lead to their victory.<ref>'''Halo: Uprising''' ''[[Halo: Uprising Issue 4|Issue 4]]''</ref> | When word of the Key of Osanalan reached Ruwan, he helped form a plan to destroy the ''[[Harbinger of Piety]]'' and kill the [[Minister of Inquisition]], at the cost of his own life.
