Keyes' pipe

Keyes pipe being held on the Flood tentacle of the Brain form.

Keyes' pipe was a gift from his grandfather, likely a corncob pipe, used by the Captain to smoke tobacco. Despite being against regulations, Keyes kept it with him most times, using it to aid concentration - not necessarily by smoking it, but at least holding it. By the 26th Century (and even the 21st), pipes like his had become antiquated, replaced by cigars and cigarettes.

Keyes' Pipe can be found in two missions - in Pillar of Autumn, Keyes removes his pipe from his mouth to address the Master Chief in the second cutscene. The pipe can later on be found on the level Keyes, after the player reaches the Truth and Reconciliation's command center and taken the Captain's neural implants. If the player looks at one of the overhanging tentacles emanating from the Proto-Gravemind, they can find the pipe hanging over the edge.

Keyes smoked his pipe on the bridge once or twice when he was nervous, though it was against regulations. He kept his pipe with him in his pocket.

• Unconfirmed The player is supposed to see a small pillar of smoke coming from the pipe if the player plays through the level on Legendary. Only on the level Keyes. Not the level Pillar of Autumn.

This is still Unconfirmed.

• Confirmed- Martin Ritter (screen name Reaper) spotted the Marathon symbol on the pipe. It can be seen as Keyes gestures toward the view screen with the pipe. It is located on the front of the bowl of the pipe. Mr. Ritter would appreciate confirmation by other Halo fans. There is a marathon logo on his pipe.
