Biography
Battle of Installation 04
Soon after the UNSC Pillar of Autumn made a blind Slipspace jump to the Soell system, Covenant forces boarded the ship. Rawley and many other members of her squadron, including her co-pilot, Lieutenant Frye, and her crew chief, Cullen, escaped during the ensuing battle and descended to the surface of Installation 04, where many UNSC forces had landed. While the rest of the ship's crew and complement were escaping in lifeboats, Rawley led the pilots in flying their Pelicans off the vessel, feeling that they would soon prove useful. On the surface of the ringworld, she helped SPARTAN John-117 and Cortana gather scattered Marines and transported them to Alpha Base. That night, she inserted John, Cortana, and a team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers to rescue Captain Keyes in a raid on the CCS-class Battlecruiser Truth and Reconciliation. The next day, she deployed the pair and a squad of Marines on a beach to secure the Silent Cartographer and later ferried John and Cortana to the Control Room. On the night of September 20th, Foe Hammer carried John-117 to the installation's Flood containment facility. Foe Hammer and her crew survived the Flood outbreak by remaining airborne.[1]
While attempting to evacuate the SPARTAN and Cortana from Pillar of Autumn's wreckage, Rawley and her crew were killed by a pair of Covenant Banshees. The Master Chief was saddened by her death.[2]
Personality
Rawley was considered one of the best crewmen of the Pillar of Autumn. She never expressed fear in her voice, and she was considered to have been a very efficient pilot. Foe Hammer put soldiers down on landing zones filled with hostile forces without hesitation, took heavy fire, ignored the odds and the consequences, and did not panic.
Trivia
- The call sign "Foe Hammer" is a reference to the fourteenth level of Marathon Infinity. "Foe Hammer" is also a literal translation of the name of Gandalf's sword, Glamdring, as well as the name of the dragon-slaying arrow in Stephen King's book The Eyes of the Dragon.
- Foe Hammer is addressed by Cortana as a lieutenant in Halo: Combat Evolved, though she was actually a captain. However, it is possible that Cortana was addressing Lieutenant Frye, though this is unlikely, as Foe Hammer was the senior officer on board, and was thus in charge of Echo 419.
- Rawley was voiced by Tanya Pettiford-Wates.
