Mister Chief is a character created by the then-Bungie employee Frank O'Connor that recurringly appeared in Bungie Weekly Updates.
History
On 1/16/04, Frank O'Connor posted his first weekly update. At the time, Halo 2 was still under a veil of secrecy. Frankie had just seen a promotional poster by Lorraine McLees and wanted to include it his weekly update, however it was not possible at the time. So instead Frankie created a horrible artist's impression of it. Instead of Master Chief holding a gun, Frankie drew him with a lightsaber from Star Wars, "because guns are hard to draw".[1] It did not look quite right so Frankie drew in some eyes and mouth and labeled it "Mister Chief".
O'Connor got such a response from fans that he decided to include another Mister Chief image in his weekly updates from then on. Mister Chief has been made in many different styles, including imitation Caravaggio and Japanese manga. Most ideas come from fan requests.
Mister Chief has been replaced in a couple weekly updates by Mrs. Chief, Evil Chief, and HotTub Guy (something which he believed San 'Shyuum to resemble). And in one instance, a calendar.[citation needed]
