Dr. Alban expressed severe remorse for his actions in the SPARTAN-II program, calling the entire project "morally indefensible". He considered his actions (or rather, inaction) to be more reprehensible than [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]]'s, on the basis of his insistence that unlike himself, Halsey was devoid of a sense of morality and that the guilt she displayed was only a facade. | Dr. Alban expressed severe remorse for his actions in the SPARTAN-II program, calling the entire project "morally indefensible". He considered his actions (or rather, inaction) to be more reprehensible than [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]]'s, on the basis of his insistence that unlike himself, Halsey was devoid of a sense of morality and that the guilt she displayed was only a facade. After the year 2525 in the month of March Alban committed suicide in a way that he was confident would cause little damage to his brain. He asked [[Vice Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] to preserve his brain and use it to create an [[artificial intelligence]] that would be used to support and protect SPARTAN-IIs.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 491''</ref> | ||
Parangosky granted Alban's wish. In [[2552|August 2552]], over 20 years after his death, Alban's brain was used as the template for an AI: [[Black-Box|Black-Box (BBX-8995-1)]].<ref name="pg492">'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 492''</ref> Black-Box would retain elements of his donor's personality, such as his hatred of Catherine Halsey and a deferential, apologetic demeanor toward [[Staffan Sentzke]], the father of [[Naomi-010|one of the abductees]]. | Parangosky granted Alban's wish.
