Elias Haverson

Lieutenant Elias Haverson was from ONI. He has short cropped red hair and was hesitant on many matters and situations. Admiral Whitcomb had once commented that he wouldn't like to have him as a leader because of this.

Haverson was the ONI attache to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. When that vessel crashed on Installation 04, Haverson was present, and managed to survive until the destruction of that Halo, when he fled in a Pelican with Sergeant Johnson, Warrant Officer Polaski, and Corporal Locklear. They hid in the debris field of the Halo until they made contact with Cortana and the Master Chief. As soon as they met on the Longsword he recognized the Spartan.

The Pelican and Longsword were not capable of a slipspace jump, so the group managed to capture the Ascendant Justice and Haverson gave tactical command to the Chief, despite his superior rank. They then were forced to travel to Reach because the Cole Protocol prevented them from heading back into UNSC territory.

Haverson then traveled with them to the surface of Reach, where the Chief rounded up the survivng Spartans. Haverson also accompanied Admiral Whitcomb's team to Eridanus Secundus to talk with Governor Jacob Jiles of the Eridanus Rebels.

Haverson's death came when him and Admiral Whitcomb took the wounded Flagship and crashed it into the Unyielding Hierophant. This attracted the five hundred other ships and they all loomed closer. The Chief then returned to the UNSC Gettysburg, after crippling the reactors of the Unyielding Hierophant. It exploded killing the Admiral, Haverson, and over five hundred Covenent ships. The sacrifice of Haverson and Whitcomb delayed the destruction of Earth.
