| '''Beowulf''' was a [[Dumb AI|"dumb" artificial intelligence]] of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-armory-amore '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Armory Amore'']</ref> He was thorough, methodical and paranoid. His [[avatar]] depicted a man in a hooded cloak.

| ==Biography==
| | He was later assigned to guard the [[UNSC]] personnel and planning database. He knew [[Cortana]] well, and knew that she was trouble. When she would try to get into the system, he would block her entrance.<ref name="Justice">[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 267</ref> |
| 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}} | | He was thorough, methodical, and paranoid. However, compared to Cortana's code cracking skills, he might as well be an accounting program. He was incapable of learning because he was a "dumb" AI.<ref name="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]].
| | His hologram form was that of a man wearing a hooded cloak. |

|
| ==Trivia==
| | Also, though not proven, Beowulf was believed to be aboard the [[Pillar of Autumn]] as the second AI. Though not proven, it is listed as BW, possibly '''B'''eo'''w'''ulf |
| Beowulf is named after the titular character of the famous heroic poem ''[[Wikipedia:Beowulf|Beowulf]]'', the only surviving piece of ancient Anglo-Saxon heroic poetry. | |
