The Key of Osanalan was a simple skeleton key, fashioned from what appears to be tin-foil, that Ruwan and James Ackerson when they were young. [1]
Background
During their childhood, James and Ruwan Ackerson made up a skeleton key called the Key of Osanalan which was created to rescue the "Princess" as part of their make-believe games.[2]
When James Ackerson was held captive and interrogated by the Jiralhanae, he said that the Halos will not properly activate without the Key, causing the Covenant to go on a misleading search for the "Key". Ruwan, after realizing the importance of the Covenant's belief in the key, contacted the Covenant, saying that he would give them the Key when they met. Once they arrived, Ruwan then informed them that he was in fact the key. Confused, the Covenant left Ruwan to their ship. In actuality, Ruwan was implanted with an organic tracker. Moments before Nassau Station used its MAC cannon to destroy the ship, Ruwan told the Minister of Inquisition to "kiss my ass".[3]
After the events on the Harbinger of Piety, James Ackerson openly mocked the Covenant about the key's non-existence, which ended in his death. [3]
Trivia
- Ironically, like all Reclaimers, if given the opportunity Ruwan could indeed activate the Halo rings, acting as a "Key" for the Installations.
- While Ruwan seemed to say that he opened Halo, he was in fact answering the Minister's question of "Tell us what you know of the Halo?".
