Jin Ha

Jin Ha was the leader of a group of insurrectionists based on the Outer Colony of Madrigal.

Biography
Jin Ha led a group of insurrectionists on the Outer Colony of Madrigal. He fought for the planet’s independence from the United Nations Space Command, for which he was classified as a “Tier 2A Insurrection Command” person of interest. Circa 2536, his wife gave birth to their daughter Kwan Ha. Years later, during a conference of several high-ranking Insurrectionists, Ha’s wife was assassinated by Spartan Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, something that their daughter Kwan Ha personally witnessed.

In 2552, Jin Ha’s outpost was attacked by the Covenant Sangheili in search of the Madrigal Forerunner artifact. The insurrectionists did not know of the Covenant, having dismissed their existence as UNSC propaganda. Jin Ha and his comrades were overwhelmed by the attack until Silver Team arrived. Despite the intervention of the Spartan-IIs, only Jin Ha and his daughter survived the battle. When a surviving Sangheili Major attempted to kill Kwan, Jin rushed to her rescue and was killed before John-117 took out the Sangheili. Kwan rushed to her father’s aid, to no avail.

Following the battle, Kwan Ha was asked by Commander Miranda Keyes to testify against the Covenant. Ha refused and pursued Madrigal’s independence - her father’s wishes - under the threat that she would accuse the Spartans of killing the defenseless insurrectionists on Madrigal.

Production notes
Jin Ha in Halo: The Television Series was portrayed by Korean actor Jeong-hwan Kong. Like Kong, Jin Ha was of Korean descent.
