Benjamin Giraud is a member of the Office of Naval Intelligence on Earth. Ostensibly a civilian working on the public relations of the Civilian Warthog, he actually helped alter battle footage to keep the public unaware how badly the UNSC was losing the Human-Covenant War.[1] While at New Mombassa he witnessed Master Chief "saving humanity" which led him to do a series of interviews about the life and history of John-117. [2]
Biography
He was injured during the Prophet of Regret's invasion of New Mombasa, and after, was a part of a small resistance group trying to hold the Covenant back until the Marines arrived. He recorded and translated an order from a Sangheili to "Clear this area before we can access the Ark." He was ordered by a Marine sergeant to get the recording out of the city to the Office of Naval Intelligence. He was about to board a boat out of the city, but stopped when he saw a young girl crying with no one with her. He calmed her down and handed her his laptop with the recording in it. He presumably asked her to give it to the authorities when she got to the mainland. He remained in the city, and was last seen observing the Covenant invasion in a room full of displays.
He was able to find a way out of New Mombassa in order to collect information about Master Chief in 2558.
