'''Henry "Hank" Gibson''' was the captain of the [[Human]] freighter, ''[[This End Up]]'' <ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 96''</ref>. Gibson's nickname was "Hank". During his life, he always found that piloting a ship by himself - with only the minimum aid from a computer - gave him his greatest joy. He served on civilian cruise ships (such as the luxury liner ''[[Two Drink Minimum]]'') for many years, enjoying the ability to steer without aid and the time away from his two now ex-wives, but found the constant noise to be too much for him and left it to instead serve as a hauler for products from [[Harvest]]. His personal touch helped distinguish him from other services and brought him a great deal of respect.

His life was unexpectedly ended when a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] boarding party invaded his ship in search of [[Forerunner]] relics they had believed to be onboard. He nearly succeeded in killing a [[Unggoy]] named [[Dadab]], using a fire extinguisher as a weapon, but was killed by a rock in the forehead thrown by Dadab's [[Huragok]] companion ''[[Lighter Than Some]]''.

He was the first [[Human]] being to ever come face-to-face with a member of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], the first known human to be killed by a Huragok, and could be considered the first casualty of the [[Human-Covenant War]].
