===Pawel Czernek===

[[Major]] [[Pawel Czernek]], who was active for 30 years in the UNSC from [[2551]] to [[2581]], was one of the few surviving combatants who fought in The Battle of New Mombasa, was interviewed in a documentary circa the turn of the 27th century at the [[Museum of Humanity]]. He related his role in the battle while examining a diorama of the battle - he manned an overturned [[Warthog]]'s turret - and described the morale Master Chief engendered during the battle ("We knew Master Chief was in the fight. He gave us hope.") The elderly Major Czernek wears a prosthetic metal right leg; it is unclear where or when he suffered that traumatic injury.<ref>[http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=2606 GameTrailers "The Museum" video]</ref>
