Kenneth Peters
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Kenneth "Ken" Peters was a writer at 343 Industries (later Halo Studios), working as the Senior Franchise Writer from 2014 to 2026. He is particularly known for his work on the technical aspects of the Halo universe, such as starships and armor.[1][2] Ken is one of the three authors of Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo[3], the lead writer for Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo.[1], and the co-writer of Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual[4]. Additionally, he worked closely with Spartan Games to help build the lore for Halo: Fleet Battles,[5] and played an instrumental role in the incorporation of the Arbiter character into the fighting game Killer Instinct.[6]
On the Spartan Games forums, Peters went by the name VoidDancer and answered several community questions about the lore of Halo: Fleet Battles. An archive of these posts can be found here. Peters' username is the basis for the VOID DANCER-class Mjolnir.
Ken also notably led the Digsite project at 343.

That was fun, but one of the reasons I stopped doing that was because a lot of the questions were mundane like "what's the shoe size of a Covenant sailor?"... who cares? That's the kind of questions you often get asked. Also, the seemingly minor little detail you'd reveal that, at the time, was perfectly accurate or that was "no one's ever going to touch this again"... well guess what, somebody wants to do a book about it and you're like "we didn't think you were ever going to do anything with that!""
