'''Elias Haverson''' was a [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]]<ref>[[Letter - Re:Haverson]]</ref> of the [[UNSC]] [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and a Navy Officer. 

==Background==
===Wreckage of Halo===
Haverson was the [[ONI]] officer, attached to the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]''. When that vessel crashed on [[Installation 04]], Haverson was among those evacuated via [[Bumblebee|lifeboats]] and managed to survive, until the destruction of [[Alpha Halo]], when he fled in a [[Pelican]] with [[Petty Officer Second Class]] [[Polaski]], [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery J. Johnson]], and [[Corporal]] [[Locklear]]. They hid in the debris field of the [[Halo]] until they made contact with [[Cortana]] and the [[Master Chief]].<ref name="red"/>

===Reach===
The Pelican and Longsword were not capable of a [[Slipspace]] jump, so the group managed to capture the [[Covenant]] ship ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' and [[Haverson]] gave tactical command to the Chief, despite his superior rank. Master Chief captured the ship by fighting hand on hand with a Special Operations [[Elite]], injuring it and ejecting it in an escape pod. They then were forced to travel to [[Reach]] because of the [[Cole Protocol]] which prevented them from heading back into UNSC territory, especially [[Earth]], that is not known by the Covenant, even with a captured Covenant ship.

Haverson journeyed with them to the surface of Reach, where the [[Master Chief|Chief]] collected the surviving [[Spartans]] and [[Doctor Catherine Halsey]]. After trying to flee the Covenant ships through slipspace, the crystal opened an alternate slipstream dimension instead, and Haverson and the others were forced to battle a small [[Covenant]] battle group within the strange dimension before dropping out near [[Eridanus Secundus]]. Haverson also accompanied [[Vice Admiral]] [[Danforth Whitcomb]]'s team to the rebel-held asteroid-colony of [[Eridanus II]] to talk with [[Governor Jacob Jiles]] of the [[Eridanus Rebels]], before they were forced to flee in the face of overwhelming Covenant forces.

===Death===

The Master Chief and his team of [[SPARTAN-II]]'s, then returned to the [[UNSC Gettysburg|UNSC ''Gettysburg'']], after crippling the reactors of the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]''. The Chief and his team were then informed by Johnson that Haverson and Admiral Whitcomb had taken the wounded [[Flagship]] and attempted a one-ship attack on the Covenant fleet, gathered around the ''Unyielding Hierophant'', destroying a single Covenant carrier and sending a video-feed to all ships in system of the Forerunner crystal, which was in actuality a hologram. Distracted, the five hundred other ships all converged to try and recover the Forerunner crystal. The ''Unyielding Hierophant'' exploded, killing Whitcomb and Haverson and destroying over five hundred Covenant ships. The sacrifice of Haverson and Whitcomb temporarily delayed the [[First Battle of Earth]].

==Trivia==
*He had short cropped red hair<ref name="red"/> and was hesitant on many matters and situations. Vice Admiral Whitcomb had once commented that he wouldn't like to have him as a leader because of this.
*[[Haverson]] is one of the few Naval officers to use an [[Assault Rifle]].
*He was mentioned once in [[Halo: The Flood]] as "the shipboard scuttlebutt".
*Haverson may the be second Marine on the cover of [[Halo: First Strike]], although he had never been known to wear Marine Combat Armour before.
*The Master Chief was suspicious as to why an ONI Officer accompanied him to Alpha Halo. He was most likely sent by ONI with the Chief for his mission to capture a Prophet.
