Biography
Kennedy Mehaffey was born in the outer colony of Desdoron.[2] During the Insurrection, she served under Colonel Lasky as a ODST, whom she greatly respected.[3] The two ascended the ranks together and both developed impressive reputations; Lasky for her encyclopedic intellect and Mehaffey for her relentlessness on the field. Her penchant for engaging rebels in close proximity, particularly in hand-to-hand combat with a blade—in addition to her often cold and calculated demeanor—earned her the handle "Icepick".[2] Mehaffey became a mentor for Colonel Lasky's son, Thomas, as he attended Corbulo Academy. Despite Thomas' continued insubordination and misbehavior, Mehaffey recognized his potential and had frequent private talks with him, attempting to encourage Thomas to take his training with appropriate seriousness and to eventually become a leader. Along with support on part of Cadet Chyler Silva, Mehaffey's efforts eventually paid off, with Lasky successfully leading Hastati Squad to victory during a training exercise and later maintaining his composure under pressure during the Battle of Circinius IV.
During the Covenant invasion of the academy, Mehaffey supervised the evacuation of cadets from Corbulo to escape the invading Covenant forces. She was hit by Needler fire while attempting to get Hastati Squad to safety. Moments later, the Needler rounds detonated, killing her right in front of a horrified Lasky.[4]
Trivia
Colonel Mehaffey's statement to Lasky, "At the end of the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box" (a translation of an Italian proverb) was also spoken by Cortana in Italian as her first words.[5]
Production notes
She is portrayed by Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer.[6]
