==Summary==
'''Ensign William Lovell''' was a solider in the UNSC Navy who for the amount of time in the Navy saw alot of action. During his short life he created a [[Career Service Vitae|CSV]] that was twice as long as [[Captain Keyes]]' [[Career Service Vitae|CSV]]
Instead of being conscripted right into the [[UNSC]], William Michael Lovell volunteered his services. He was granted immediate admission to the [[Luna OCS Academy]] due to his high grades, but only finished his second year before he moved on to graduate. He received his commission so early for heroism in a training flight where he saved the entire crew. He took duty on the first outbound corvette headed into battle. Three [[The Bronze Star|Bronze Star]]s, A [[The Silver Star|silver Cluster]], and two [[The Purple Heart|Purple Heart]]s were awarded to him. He was catapulted all the way up to Lieutenant, senior grade in just three years. He served aboard the ''[[UNSC Gorgon]]'' for four years. However his decline was just as rapid as his ascent. four reports on insubordination. two transfers, and an "incident" with a civilian woman, [[Anna Gerov]], daughter of [[Vice Admiral Gerov]].


He was finally reassigned aboard the UNSC [[Archimedes]] Remote Scanning Outpost on the fringes of the Sigma Octanus star system. He was there for a year, which is an unheard of length of time for such a remote faciliy.

In his own words, Lovell had simply broken from the pressure. He had seen too many people murdered and too much death. He wanted to live, just like everyone else. He chose to stay in the outpost because it was safe.

He was finally reassigned aboard the UNSC [[Archimedes]] Remote Scanning Outpost on the fringes of the [[Sigma Octanus System|Sigma Octanus star system]]. He was there for a year, which is an unheard of length of time for such a remote faciliy.  He enjoyed the isolation, in his own words, Lovell had simply broken from the pressure.

==Back in the Limelight==


He encountered the silhouette of the [[Covenant]] battle cruisers that attacked the system in 2552. Although he did not identify the threat immediately, his report about the silhouette did alert the UNSC to the Covenant's presence and thus turned the tide of what would have been a massacre. For that, he became navigations officer aboard the [[Iroquois]] during the final fight during [[The Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]].

He then manned his post during [[The Battle of Reach]]. He, along with [[Cortana]] were sucessful in making the ship escape the system intact, however this lead them only to another fight at [[Installation 04]]. After the hopeless battle, he piloted the [[bumblebee]] lifepod that contained the command crew, including Captain Keyes, as well as the spy [[Isna 'Nosolee]]. He landed the bumblebee on the surface but they were soon spotted by the Covenant patrols.

==Betrayal==


After crash landing on Installation 04 he and the bridge crew along with their three Marine escorts were tracked down by the Covenant, who had the aid of the traitor [[Ensign Ellen Dowski]], and executed. As a last desperate attempt, Lovell dived for a pistol but was shot in the face by an [[Elite]] with a [[Plasma Pistol]]. It is said in the book [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] that Lovell's [[Career Service Vitae|CSV]] is twice as long as [[Captain Keyes]]' [[Career Service Vitae|CSV]].
