Ysionris Jeromi: Difference between revisions

'''Vice Admiral Ysionris Jeromi''' is a [[Human|human]] [[Vice Admiral|flag officer]] of the [[UNSC Navy]] and the commanding officer of the {{UNSCShip|Hopeful}}. His exploits during the [[Human-Covenant War]] as the commanding officer of the ''Hopeful'' have made VADM Jeromi a legend throughout the colonies.  

On multiple occasions, Jeromi has taken the {{UNSCShip|Hopeful}}, a ship with no weapons or armor to speak of, into battle to save the lives of the critically wounded aboard damaged ships. He has saved tens of thousands of lives, and more than once faced a [[Court Martial]]. He had gained and lost rank over the years, but he has also won the UNSC's [[Colonial Cross]] twice. He was a four star [[Admiral]] in [[2525]], and a three star Vice Admiral in [[2551]].<ref name="GOO"/>

He was a personal friend to [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]], and analyzed a number of 'hypothetical' experiments on [[Bonobo Chimpanzee]] for Dr. Halsey in 2525. She was his star pupil, and he had never approved of her working with the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. He was a mentor to her and his disapproval made her decisions more difficult.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 56-57''</ref> He sent her [[United Nations Space Command Priority Transmission 09872H-98|UNSC Priority Transmission 09872H-98]], detailing his objections to a "hypothetical" augmentation process and the dangers of such a process. The experiments he conducted were later used on the [[SPARTAN-II]] soldiers. However, he was not made aware of this and likely would have objected if he had known.

In [[2551]], he took the [[SPARTAN-III]] soldiers aboard the ''Hopeful'' for [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM]]. He was suspicious of [[Kurt-051]], especially after a message arrived for the Spartan from a secret [[Slipspace COM launcher]].<ref name="GOO"/>
