'''David Agnoli''' was the [[Unified Earth Government]]'s [[Minister for the Colonies|minister for the colonies]] prior to the election of [[President of the Unified Earth Government|President]] [[Ruth Charet]] in [[2553#January|January 2553]], who soon replaced him in her [[Unified Earth Government cabinet|cabinet]] with [[Akeyo Oduya]].{{Ref/Reuse|HG2}}<ref name="HG3">''[[Halo: Glasslands]]'', ''Chapter 3''</ref>

David Agnoli was serving as the [[Unified Earth Government]]'s [[Minister for the Colonies|minister for the colonies]] when the decades-long [[Human-Covenant War|war]] against the [[Covenant]] hegemony finally came to an end.{{Ref/Reuse|HG2}} On [[2553#January|January 26, 2553]] [[Captain]] [[Serin Osman]] found David Agnoli loitering outside [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]]'s [[Core 5]] office within [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]]. Though he'd neglected to make an appointment with Parangosky, the [[Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence|Commander-in-Chief]] of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], he proposed that Osman could get him an audience with her. He did this in the midst of openly disrespecting the admiral and absentmindly leafing through Osman's own precious copy of ''[[The Admiralty Manual of Seamanship Volume II]]'' in front of her. When the office door finally opened so that Parangosky's flag lieutenant, [[Dorsey]], could admit the captain, he greeted the minister and asked if they'd be seeing him at President [[Ruth Charet|Charet]]'s reception later. To this David merely said it was possible. Before showing himself out he then took great care to return the book to the shelf he'd been sitting on and suggested that perhaps Dorsey could set up a meeting between he and Parangosky.{{Ref/Reuse|HG2}} Within only a matter of days following this, the president unveiled her new cabinet.{{Ref/Reuse|HG3}} Agnoli was among the casualties, having been replaced as colonies minister by [[Akeyo Oduya]].{{Ref/Reuse|HG3}}

In the wake of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Minister Agnoli apparently thought that he could use the apparent advent of peacetime to advance his own interests.{{Ref/Reuse|HG2}} To the [[artificial intelligence]] [[Black-Box]], who took some time to observe him, he seemed to be a dolt who didn't grasp the measure of the [[United Nations Space Command]] and should have realized that the war was anything but truly over. David held no qualms about candidly making jokes at the expense of powerful people and was disliked by both Serin Osman and Margaret Parangosky, who supposedly was known to refer to him as a ''weasel''.{{Ref/Reuse|HG2}}
