A group of civilians in New Alexandria.

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.

Civilians only play a side role in the Halo games. Examples include the Voi factory workers in Halo 3,[3] the civilians on Arcadia in Halo Wars, and the civilians in New Alexandria, Reach in Halo: Reach. Another example is the meta-game Sadie's Story in Halo 3: ODST.[4]

Alternatively on co-op, if the player kills two civilians after respawning, Noble Team will turn on the player and kill them instantly with one shot like the Arbiter and Sgt. Johnson from Halo 3.

In Halo 4, civilian scientists are encountered during the Raid on Ivanoff Station.
