'''Ignatio Delgado''' was a highly trusted resident of [[the Rubble]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 11''</ref> He was chosen by the community's [[Rubble Security Council|security council]] to keep control over a data chip that contained the location of [[Earth]]. After the destruction of the Rubble, Delgado joined the [[UNSC Navy]] with the promise of a posting on an [[ONI]] [[Prowler]] if he passed his training.<ref name="HCP355">'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''pages 355-356''</ref>

Soon after the battle and helping [[Exodus Project|Habitat Exodus]] and the Rubble's surviving population evacuate to the [[18 Scorpii system]], he made the decision to join the [[UNSC Navy]] after attending the funeral of his friend and former mentor, Diego Esquival on [[Falaknuma]]. Due to his background and attitude, the Navy recruiter was uninterested in Delgado, but [[Commander]] [[Hadley]] of [[ONI]] intervened on his behalf. Hadley promised that if Delgado didn't wash out, he would have a place on an ONI [[Prowler]] after he graduated. Delgado, after flipping Hadley off, officially signed on, stating that too many people would be pleased if he failed to even consider it.<ref name="HCP355" />
