Deon Govender

Dion Govender is the name or alias of a man interviewed by Benjamin Giraud during the latter's series of biographical interviews about John-117 in 2558.

Govender's name was on a list of interviewees provided to Giraud by the Office of Naval Intelligence. "Govender" claimed to have taught at Elysium City Primary Education Facility Number 119 during the future Master Chief's childhood. His first anecdote relayed the story of John's dominance in games of King of the Hill.

From here however, Govender's stories diverged into fiction. Govender told a story of a 12 year-old John showing up to a high school boxing league and proceeding to easily defeat the older boys. A year later, John and his family were kidnapped by Insurrectionists. According to Govender, rising above this traumatic experience was instrumental in forging John into the man he would become.

While digging through old records scavenged from Elysium City, Giraud found an old census registry which listed John deceased at 6 years old in 2517, revealing Govender to be an ONI plant meant to keep him from the truth.
