|rank = Second lieutenant<ref group="note">''Halo: The Cole Protocol'' indicates that Faison is a second lieutenant at the time of his introduction and makes no mention of his promotion following 1stLt Canfield's death. However, author [[Tobias S. Buckell]] stated in an [[~~Halopedia~~:Letter - The Cole Protocol|interview with ''Halopedia'']] that Faison is a major. Buckell noted how Keyes consistently refers to Faison as "Commander", meant to be shorthand for "Lieutenant Commander", both of which are Navy ranks. He claimed that (due to stress) Keyes mentally equates the Marine and Navy O-4 grades, major and lieutenant commander, respectively. Apart from the blatant technical inaccuracy of addressing a Marine officer using a Navy rank (an error present throughout the novel), this means Faison would actually outrank Lieutenant Keyes (O-2) by two grades.</ref>
