==Trivia==
*[[Wikipedia:Alonso Quijano|Alonso Quijano]] is the actual name of the fictional character and eponymous protagonist of the novel ''[[Wikipedia:Don Quixote|The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha]]''.
**In the novel, Alonso Quijano famously pretends to be a [[Wikipedia:Knight-errant|knight-errant]], longing for the days of chivalry and knightly deeds. This is perhaps a reference to Fernando Esparza, a [[civilian]] contractor, pretending to be a UNSC [[pilot]] when he first meets [[John-117]], or even how he carries around a [[Holorecorder|holorecording]] of another man's wife and daughter to remind him of better times. Similar to Esparza, who revealed his name at [[Silent Auditorium|the end]] of ''Halo Infinite''{{'}}s campaign, Alonso Quijano's name was revealed at the end of the second half of the novel.
**Alonso Quijano is the second character in the ''Halo'' series named after Don Quixote. The first is [[Dimkee Hotay]], an [[Unggoy]] who appears in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''.
