Biography
Service history
Class of 2529
General Black regularly made rounds of the campus, personally overseeing the performance of the class of 2529.[3] He frequently monitored Hastati Squad, particularly Cadets Chyler Silva and Thomas Lasky. Silva's parents were killed in action against Insurrectionists; the general respected their sacrifice and their daughter performed admirably in his eyes. Lasky's mother was a well-renowned colonel, while his brother, Cadmon, had been one of the finest cadets in the academy's history. Black often berated Thomas for failing to live up to his family members' reputations.[4][5]
Battle of Circinus IV
This section needs expansion. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.
As of 2526, ONI Section Two kept the Covenant's existence a closely guarded secret. Despite most of the academy's personnel being unaware of the burgeoning Human-Covenant War, Black was informed and posted Marine garrisons at key areas around the facility.[4] He also authorized limited communications blackouts under the guise of routine maintenance procedures.[5]
Personality
Black has a very gruff, no-nonsense personality and little tolerance for second-rate performance. Though he respects those who conduct themselves well in exercises and in actual service, he does not refrain from belittling those whom he feels do not give their all.[5] He has a habit of smoking cigars, probably Sweet Williams.[4]
Black adamantly believes in Earth's dominance over humanity's colonies, maintaining that the UNSC is solely responsible for humanity's survival and well-being. He strongly condemns the insurrectionists, who in his view endanger countless human lives as well as mankind's safe and harmonious coexistence under the auspices of the Unified Earth Government.[6]
Production note
He is portrayed by Canadian actor Mike Dopud,[2] who voiced the protagonist in Doom and Doom II. By appearing in Forward Unto Dawn, he has acted in both the most influential early first-person shooter and in one of the mainstay franchises of the modern FPS genre.
