A brilliant but overly ambitious scientist, Catherine Halsey is devoted to the advancement of humanity, but will often use unethical means to achieve it, such as using and killing a live clone of herself to create Cortana, kidnapping and enlisting children against their will into the SPARTAN-II program before wiping their memories and subjecting them to horrific augmentations, and attempting to replace the human consciousness of the SPARTAN-II's with AI to make them "more controllable", as she attempted to do with John-117 and Cortana. This eventually put her at odds with ONI, the UNSC, and even with her SPARTANs when they discovered the truth of their upbringing and her ultimate intentions.
Production notes
Catherine Halsey in Halo: The Television Series is portrayed by actress Natascha McElhone.[1] McElhone was originally cast to play both Halsey and Cortana, much like Jen Taylor did for Halo 4, Halo 5: Guardians, and Halo Infinite. However, due to scheduling difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, McElhone was unable to complete her work as Cortana, so Jen Taylor was brought onboard the project to reprise her role from the games.[2]
