Athos was an Office of Naval Intelligence artificial intelligence assigned to assist the Spartan-II Linda-058 on a mission to end the threat posed by a wanted scientist on a distant planet.^[1]

Biography

ONI officer: "Athos, bring up Chen."

Athos: "As you wish."

— Athos assists with the briefing of Linda-058.^[1]

At some point during the latter half of 2553 Athos was present when Linda-058 was summoned to a command room for a mission briefing by an ONI officer.^[1] The officer had Athos bring up a holographic image of the mission's target: a former ONI scientist by the name of Doctor Chen Bax who had tried to steal classified technology from the agency but was thought killed in action during the Fall of Reach before he could be moved on. Athos further displayed the UNSC Promise of Dawn, a Paris-class heavy frigate that also went missing during the events at Reach. A distress signal from both the survivors of the Promise and the doctor had been received in the past twenty-four hours and henceforth, both Athos and Linda were assigned to work with one another to end the threat Doctor Chen posed. The sniper and A.I. travelled to the distant planet which the message had come from and soon found themselves facing down the dregs of the Covenant and the hostility of a lost settlement on the world.^[1] Once Chen was in their sights, Linda and Athos sought to find a way to both complete their mission but also evacuate the endangered residents of the settlement.^[2]

Behind the scenes

Athos was named and designed after the character Athos, Count de la Fère, known from three novels of Alexandre Dumas, due to the that character's relatively taciturn and reserved demeanor.^[3] These are qualities which are shared by Linda-058, whom Athos was introduced as the companion of in Halo: Lone Wolf.^[1]^[4]
