==UNSC ''Apocalypso''== | '''Herzog''' was an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[Colonel]] ostensibly in [[ONI Section Three]], although secretly working for [[Office of Naval Intelligence#Section Zero|Section Zero]]. He led a variety of investigations for several years along with his friend [[Avi]]. When Avi retired, he continued to remain active despite his friend's encouragement that he join him in retirement. Although Herzog had been married, it ultimately ended in divorce. | ||
==Biography== | |||
===UNSC ''Apocalypso''=== | |||
Herzog's interest in the ONI Prowler {{UNSCShip|Apocalypso}} began with him recruiting [[McKaskill|MacKaskill]], the ship's mechanic, whom he instructed to report to him should anything notable occur. It's possible that Herzog learned through him that the ''Apocalypso'' had intercepted [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] transmissions detailing upcoming attacks on the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] colony worlds of [[Troy]] and [[Harmony]]; however when the ship picked up the mysterious [[Deep-space artifact|Deep-Space Artifact]], MacKaskill's attempt to contact him was thwarted, by the ship's [[Artificial intelligence|AI]], [[Melissa (AI)|Melissa]], who knew that if the transmission was sent MacKaskill could be tried for treason and felt protective of her crew member. | Herzog's interest in the ONI Prowler {{UNSCShip|Apocalypso}} began with him recruiting [[McKaskill|MacKaskill]], the ship's mechanic, whom he instructed to report to him should anything notable occur.

Despite Herzog's death, his persona was taken over by a fragment of Melissa, who was split apart with the artifact's activation, known as the [[Operator]]. The Operator, desperately needed to communicate how to deactivate the artifact to another of Melissa's fragments, known as [[Durga]], but was afraid that Durga wouldn't trust her. She manufactured a scene between Herzog and MacKaskill detailing the artifact's activation sequence, disguising it as surveillance Durga took while spying on Herzog. It worked so well that she was later startled to learn that Herzog had indeed died in the crash. | Despite Herzog's death, his persona was taken over by a fragment of Melissa, who was split apart with the artifact's activation, known as the [[Operator]].
