Danforth Whitcomb: Difference between revisions

== Summary ==

Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb appeared in [[Halo: First Strike]]. He was the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations and his accomplishments during the battle for New Constantinople and the Siege of the Atlas Moons were well-known. Every [[SPARTAN-II]] had studied his record. He claims that he descended from Russian Cossacks, despite his Texan accent.

He was stationed at [[Reach]] in 2552. During ~~The~~ [[Battle of Reach]], he had gone to secure his secret project, the [[Nova]] bomb, when the [[HIGHCOM]] HQ of the Reach Military Complex was destroyed. Whitcomb then became the ranking officer on the planet. Whitcomb radioed the team he had sent to gather the Novas, [[Charlie Company]]. It had turned out that the company was forced to defend [[ODG Facility A-331]] and most of them were killed when a flight of [[Longsword]]s were ordered to bomb the area mistakenly. Instead, he contacted [[Fredric-104]], who was now in charge of Charlie Company. Fred sent [[Anton-044]], [[Li-008]], and [[Grace-093]] to rescue him.

The Admiral had a staff with him, but it is assumed that they were killed. He and the three [[Spartans]] then retreated to [[Camp Independence]] to avoid [[Covenant]] activity. For three weeks they conducted hit and run missions against the Covenant and broadcast [[Oly Oly Oxen Free]], until they were picked up by [[John-117]] and [[Lieutenant Haverson]]. They then went to rescue Fred's team, and returned to the captured [[Ascendant Justice]]/[[Gettysburg]] aboard a captured [[Covenant Dropship]].
