|notable=Known Commander in the [[Battle of Earth]]

During the [[Battle of Earth]], he commanded a [[fleet]] of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[Cruiser]]s and [[UNSC frigate|Frigates]] protecting [[Earth]]<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', [[campaign]] level ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref>. He commanded at least 75 ships, a significant portion of the [[UNSC Home Fleet]].

Harper was most likely part of the Orbital Defense Grid over [[Africa]], in charge of protecting the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] orbital platform clusters in that region, which included ''[[Cairo Station]]''. Fleet Admiral Harper was not seen on screen, however he was heard in two separate transmissions regarding the [[Battle of Earth|attack on Earth]], by the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s battle group (consisting of 15 Covenant Capital Ships: 13 {{Class|CCS|Battlecruiser}}s and 2 [[Covenant assault carrier|Assault Carriers]]). Harper's transmissions were as follows:

His voice in the transmissions sounded young for the high rank of Fleet Admiral. The readout from [[Cairo Station]] showed that Harper's fleet consisted of 8 [[Marathon-class cruiser|Cruisers]] and 67 [[UNSC frigate|Frigates]], as well as a large number of fighter units, as at one point he ordered his [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longswords]] to blanket the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] cruisers and take them out, one by one.

 

Presumably, he continued to fight in the late [[Battle of Earth]], during the Covenant Loyalist invasion.
