''' | [[Captain]] '''Jacob Keyes''' ([[service number]] '''01928-19912-JK''') was a [[commanding officer]] and one of the most brilliant tacticians in the [[UNSC Navy]]. He commanded great respect as a highly skilled strategist and inspirational leader to those under his command. His many decorations, thirty-five years of combat experience against the [[Covenant]] and [[Insurrectionist]]s, and ability to keep a secret made him an almost natural choice to command the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} and its secret cargo. | ||
He was renowned as a war hero for his development of the [[Keyes Loop]] tactic, and leading the [[Battle of Installation 04]]: the ''Halo Event''. | He was renowned as a war hero for his development of the [[Keyes Loop]] tactic, and leading the [[Battle of Installation 04]]: the ''Halo Event''. | ||

Originally, Keyes' body was a [[Flood combat form|combat form]], but the Flood, apparently realizing his importance, merged him and several other combat forms into a [[proto-Gravemind]].
