A Sangheili, or Elite, is one of the most dangerous Covenant species that Humans ever have the misfortune to go to battle against. Equally skilled at range and in close combat, these warriors adhere to a strict code of honor and study their enemies with great respect. This only adds to their cunning and skill, and as such the Sangheili hold many positions of honor within the Covenant hierarchy. | A Sangheili, or Elite, is one of the most dangerous Covenant species that Humans ever have the misfortune to go to battle against.

Cortana is one of the most advanced Artificial Intelligences in all the Halo universe. Serving as Master Chief's sidekick isn't the easiest job in the world, so Cortana has developed a wry sense of humor to balance out her companion's more "spartan" nature. As she witnesses the rapid and accidental descent of 1337 from a Pelican dropship in Odd One Out, she realized that there are more challenging Spartans to be working with then Master Chief. Much, much more challenging! | Cortana is one of the most advanced Artificial Intelligences in all the Halo universe.

| | |'''Prototype'''<br> | ||
Created at the Research Facility T12A on the planet Algolis, this suit of powered armor is still in its experimental stage when a Covenant attack begins. Its use may be risky, but it also may be the only way to ensure the successful evacuation of the facility. | |||

| | |'''Prototype'''<br> | ||
The Prototype Suit visually resembles a modification of the MJOLNIR armor worn by Spartans in combat. Armed with a virtual armada of weapons, a Heads Up Display (HUD) and an advanced propulsion system, this powered armor suit can more than hold its own against anything the Covenant has to offer on the battlefield. | |||

| | |'''Sgt. Ghost'''<br> | ||

| | |'''O'Brien'''<br> | ||
As a sniper from the 105th Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) squad, O'Brien is a crack shot and no slouch in battle. But even his considerable ego takes a hit upon hearing that he has been relegated to a backup role in one of the most important missions of his career: the elimination of a Covenant Prophet. | |||

| | |'''Cal 141'''<br> | ||
Known simply as Cal-141, this elite warrior is not unlike the other SPARTAN II s: calm, quiet, and extremely deadly. Originally thought Missing in Action, Cal-141 joins a group of surprised ODSTs on a top secret mission to the planet Heian. | |||

| | |'''ODST'''<br> | ||
The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) are an elite military unit typically selected for extremely dangerous, reconnaissance-type missions. These soldiers have earned the nickname "Helljumpers" due to their brash tactics and deployment style, as they are typically dropped into combat zones in small, one-man Human Entry Vehicles (HEVs) from ships in the upper atmosphere. | |||

| | |'''Brute'''<br> | ||
These warriors of the Jiralhanae race have earned a fierce reputation in combat due to their large size and a dangerous combination of brute force and savage cunning. They wield many weapons in battle, but most notorious among these is the Gravity Hammer, a massive two-handed tool of destruction that, as the name implies, can produce a powerful gravity shockwave when it slams into its unfortunate target. | |||

| | |'''Prophet'''<br> | ||
The Prophets, or San'Shyuum are the spiritual leaders of the Covenant, and are the architects of the holy war against the Human race. They worship the long-vanished Forerunners as deities, and seek to locate, study, and incorporate Forerunner technology in order to achieve transcendence in what they mysteriously refer to as 'The Great Journey'. | |||

ONI, otherwise known as the Office of Naval Intelligence, is quite literally the brain center of the UNSC. Its commanders excel at achieving objectives at any cost, and they utilize the most cutting-edge technology available in order to do so. An ONI stealth ship, loaded with an arsenal of experimental and extremely deadly weaponry, is truly as dangerous a foe as any in the galaxy. | |||

A Spartan-II commando and veteran of over 120 campaigns, Lieutenant Junior Grade Frederic-104, or simply Fred-104, is one of the highest ranking Spartan-IIs currently serving the USNC. Similar in many ways to the Master Chief, Fred is a warrior who lets his actions speak louder than words, and he is deeply affected whenever his allies are wounded or fall in battle. | |||

| | |'''Kelly 087'''<br> | ||
Petty Officer Second Class Kelly-087 is a Spartan II super soldier and close friend to the Master Chief. She is notoriously fast, and has been clocked sprinting at speeds as high as 38 MPH. This has earned her the moniker "Rabbit", as she often uses her speed to act as bait, luring enemies into traps laid by other Spartans. | |||
