Terrence Hood



Lord Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood (voiced by Ron Perlman) first appears in the novel, Halo: First Strike. He is a member of the HIGHCOM Security Committee and is the Chief of Naval Operations. He greatly respects the Spartans, not only because of their record, but on two occasions they saved his life. Admiral Hood, alternatively known as "Lord Hood", is seen wearing The Medal of Honor, The Purple Heart, and The Navy and Marine Corps Medal along with a number of service ribbons and citations.

When Halo 2 begins Admiral Hood presents the Master Chief, Sergeant Johnson, and Jacob Keyes with medals aboard the Cairo Station. Keyes' medal is posthumous and thus presented to his daughter, Miranda Keyes. Lord Hood was in overall command of the battle when Prophet of Regret's fleet attacked Earth (this is made clear when he orders Fleet Admiral Harper to defend the Cairo, Athens, and Malta stations instead of attacking the Covenant ships directly). Later, at the end of Halo 2, he is seen commanding the defense of Earth aboard the Cairo as he finds out that Master Chief is aboard the High Prophet of Truth's Forerunner flagship. He asks the Chief what he is doing and the Chief replies, "Sir,finishing this fight." With the end of Halo 2 at this point in the story, it is very likely Admiral Hood will appear in Halo 3.
