Kennedy Mehaffey
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Character Infobox Colonel K. L. Mehaffey[1] was a field-grade officer of the UNSC Marine Corps who served in the Insurrection and during the early days of the Human-Covenant War. In 2526, she was a professor at the Corbulo Academy of Military Science.
During the Insurrection, she served under Colonel Lasky, whom she greatly respected.[2] Mehaffey became a mentor for Colonel Lasky's son, Thomas, as he attended Corbulo Academy. Despite Thomas' continued insubordination and misbehavior, Mehaffey recognized his potential and had frequent private talks with him, attempting to encourage Thomas to take his training with appropriate seriousness and to eventually become a leader. Along with support on part of Cadet Chyler Silva, Mehaffey's efforts eventually paid off, with Lasky successfully leading Hastati Squad to victory during a training exercise and later maintaining his composure under pressure during the Battle of Circinius IV.
During the Covenant invasion of the academy, Mehaffey supervised the evacuation of cadets from Corbulo to escape the invading Covenant forces. She was killed by Needler fire while attempting to get Hastati Squad to safety.[3]
Production notes
She is portrayed by Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer.[4]
