Carol Rawley

Flight Officer Captain Carol Rawley (alternatively known by her Call Sign Foehammer) was the pilot of Pelican transport Echo 419 on the Pillar of Autumn in 2552. She had great talent in the way of hostile insertions and mounting rescues, and this made her stand out among the other pilots on the Autumn. Foehammer was voiced by Tanya Pettiford-Wates. Her copilot was Lieutenant Frye. She is technically an unseen character, as players can only see her ship. She is a member of the 23rd Naval Air Squadron. She also appears to be the leader of the Pillar of Autumn's Pelican contingent.

Not long after the Pillar of Autumn made a blind jump to the Threshold system, Covenant forces descended once again upon the ship. Foehammer escaped in the ensuing battle and descended to the surface of Installation 04, where many UNSC forces have landed. There, she helped the Master Chief and Cortana pick up scattered Marines and get them out of the battlefield and back to Alpha Base. She and Frye assist the Chief and Cortana many times through the Battle of Installation 04, including helping them rescue Captain Keyes in a daring raid on the Truth and Reconciliation, landing them and a squadron of Marines on a beach to take the Silent Cartographer, ferrying them to the Control Room, and landing them at the Flood Containment Facility. Unfortunately she is tragically shot down later by Covenant Banshees as she attempts to pick up the Chief one last time and escape Installation 04 minutes before the Pillar of Autumn explodes and destroys Halo.

Foehammer is one of the best crewmen of the Pillar of Autumn, and possibly in the UNSC itself. Fear is never expressed in her voice, and she has the efficiency to get the job done. Foehammer puts soldiers down on dangerous LZs without hesitation, takes heavy fire without batting an eye, ignores the odds and the consequences, and doesn't panic.

In addition, Foehammer is one of the few female characters of note in Halo. She, Cortana, the pilot of Keyes' Pelican in the Flood complex raid, and the pilot of Master Chief's escape pod are the only females in the original video game. The second game features two female Marines, voiced by Michelle Rodriguez, and Laura Prepon, as well as Commander Miranda Keyes, voiced by Julie Benz. The series of books provides a wider view of the soldiers, several of whom are female.

Trivia

 * The call sign "Foehammer" comes from the fourteenth level of Marathon Infinity. "Foehammer" is also a literal translation of the name of Gandalf's sword, Glamdring, as well as the name of the dragon-slaying arrow in Stephen King's book The Eyes of the Dragon.
 * Foehammer's Pelican, Echo 419, is possibly another reference to the number ' 7.' 4 + 1 + 9 = 14 = 2 x 7
 * Foehammer is addressed by Cortana as a Lieutenant in the game, but is mentioned as a Captain in the book
 * Whenever a pelican crashes if you look on the side the number is 419 every time so it seems as if her pelican is the only one in the game
 * Foehammer is probably Souther American Decent pertaining to her voice.
