Henry Glassman

"If you take engines built by aliens a hundred thousand years ago, and hire a war criminal to bolt them onto the ship, you can't expect predictable behavior!"

- Glassman commenting on a sudden power loss aboard the UNSC Infinity.

Dr. Henry Glassman was a civilian human scientist contracted by the UNSC Navy. He served aboard Infinity as her chief engineer.

Captured
In 2558, the Spartans of Fireteam Crimson recovered a Forerunner artifact from meddling Covenant archaeologists and brought it aboard Infinity. Just moments after unloading, the object began draining power from the ship, causing it to drift towards Requiem corridor. Commander Sarah Palmer was able to clamp herself to the deck and temporarily deactivate the artifact by kicking it, allowing further examination by Infinity Science. Glassman, by physical interaction, unintentionally reactivated the object and subsequently "pulled" the doctor in, almost taking Captain Lasky in the process. The artifact translocated him deep within a Covenant-held site on Requiem where he was beaten and interrogated by Sangheili soldiers. Jul 'Mdama, a Shipmaster in the opposing remnant fleets, thought of him as a "gift" in order to activate further Forerunner systems on the planet.

Production Notes
