-The '''Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence''' (or CINCONI) is the formal title of the director of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].<ref name="HG4">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''Chapter 4''</ref> Though militarily subordinate to the [[Chief of Naval Operations]], the CINCONI is often politically equal if not more powerful than the CNO, actually having a seat on the [[UNSC Security Committee]] by [[2558]].<ref name="HE1">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue 1''</ref> During the [[Insurrection]] and the [[Human-Covenant War]], [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] held the position of CINCONI.<ref name="HG4"/> She was eventually succeeded by her protege, Admiral [[Serin Osman]]<ref name="HE1"/>
+The '''Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence''' ('''CINCONI''') is the leading flag officer of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] (ONI) who serves as the command's administrative and operational director.<ref name="HG4">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''Chapter 4''</ref> In some respects, the position of CINCONI is believed to maintain one of the greatest singular powers within the entirety of the [[Unified Earth Government]].<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/oni '''Halo Waypoint''': ''ONI'']</ref>
+==Background==
+While ONI remains a major subordinate command under the [[UNSC Navy]], the CINCONI sits on the [[UNSC Security Council|Security Council]] with equal stature and privilege to their parent service's [[Chief of Naval Operations]].<ref name="HE1">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue 1''</ref> Unlike their colleagues on the council, however, the CINCONI's role is inherently operational by nature. The CINCONI oversees the day-to-day operations of the command and deploys its assets. Under the CINCONI's command exists a microcosm of the UNSC's warfighting capability with its various direct action and covert special operations units, security forces, and [[warship]]s. Although ONI maintains numerous security councils and a number of checks and balances within the organization proper, the CINCONI still holds the most power within the Office of Naval Intelligence.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
+The Office of Naval Intelligence takes full advantage of a level of independence no other major command in the UNSC is given. CINCONI's political charge under the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s former emergency government was greatly expanded from the pre-war era, and despite complete transfer to civilian control with the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], their power and influence still remains. The former intelligence gathering agency of the [[Colonial Administration Authority]], the [[Department of Colonial Security]], reports directly to the office of the CINCONI.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 199''</ref>
+CINCONI's office is located in [[Core 5]], a section of [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] in [[Sydney]], [[Australia]] on [[Earth]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 43''</ref>
+==History==
+[[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence throughout the [[Insurrection]], the [[Human-Covenant War]], and into the post-war era.{{Ref/Reuse|HG4}} Parangosky began to groom her protégé [[Serin Osman]], a former [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] candidate and field agent, to replace her as CINCONI, though the [[Section Chiefs]] of ONI sought to gain the office as well.<ref name="itf230">'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', "[[A Necessary Truth]]", ''page 230''</ref> By [[2555|March 2555]], Osman had succeeded Parangosky as Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence.<ref>'''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]''', ''Chapter 2''</ref> Admiral Osman holds near-complete operational control over the Office of Naval Intelligence, and much of the UNSC as a result.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
