Elias Haverson: Difference between revisions

Haverson was the ONI officer attached to the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]''. When that vessel crashed on [[Installation 04]], Haverson was among those evacuated via [[Bumblebee|lifeboats]] and managed to survive until the destruction of [[Alpha Halo]], when he fled in a [[Pelican]] with [[Petty Officer Second Class]] [[Polaski]], [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery J. Johnson]], and [[Corporal]] [[Locklear]]. They hid in the debris field of the [[Halo]] until they made contact with [[Cortana]] and the [[Master Chief]]. As soon as they met on the [[Longsword]].

The Pelican and Longsword were not capable of a [[Slipspace]] jump, so the group managed to capture the [[Covenant]] ship ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' and [[Haverson]] gave tactical command to the Chief, despite his superior rank. Master Chief captured the ship by fighting hand on hand with a Special Operations [[Elite]], injuring it and ejecting it in an escape pod. They then were forced to travel to [[Reach]] because of the [[Cole Protocol]] which prevented them from heading back into UNSC territory, especially [[Earth]], that is not known by the Covenant, even with a captured Covenant ship.

Haverson journeyed with them to the surface of Reach, where the [[Master Chief|Chief]] collected the surviving [[Spartans]] and [[Doctor Catherine Halsey]]. After trying to flee the Covenant ships through slipspace, the crystal opened an alternate slipstream dimension instead, and Haverson and the others were forced to battle a small [[Covenant]] battle group within the strange dimension before dropping out near [[Eridanus Secundus]]. Haverson also accompanied [[Vice Admiral]] [[Danforth Whitcomb]]'s team to the rebel-held asteroid-colony of [[Eridanus II]] to talk with [[Governor Jacob Jiles]] of the [[Eridanus Rebels]], before they were forced to flee in the face of overwhelming Covenant forces.

The Master Chief and his team of [[SPARTAN-II]]'s then returned to the [[UNSC Gettysburg|UNSC ''Gettysburg'']], after crippling the reactors of the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]''. The Chief and his team then found out from Johnson that Haverson and Admiral Whitcomb took the wounded [[Flagship]] and waged a one-ship attack on the Covenant fleet gathered around ''Unyielding Hierophant'', destroying a single Covenant carrier. This distracted the five hundred other ships, and they all converged on the to try and recover the Forerunner crystal used as bait - long-destroyed already, but imitated via hologram. The ''Unyielding Hierophant'' exploded, killing the Admiral and Haverson and destroyed over five hundred Covenant ships along with it. The sacrifice of Haverson and Whitcomb delayed the [[First Battle of Earth]].

*He had short cropped red hair and was hesitant on many matters and situations. Vice Admiral Whitcomb had once commented that he wouldn't like to have him as a leader because of this.

*He was mentioned once in [[Halo: The Flood]] as "the shipboard scuttlebutt".
