'''Henry "Hank" Gibson''' was the captain of the [[human]] [[DCS light freighter|freighter]], ''[[This End Up]]''. 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.<ref name="ch96">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 96''</ref> He was the first human to ever come face-to-face with a member of the [[Covenant]], the only human known to have been killed by a Huragok, and could be considered the first casualty of the [[Human-Covenant War]].
'''Henry "Hank" Gibson''' was the captain of the [[Human]] freighter, ''[[This End Up]]'' <ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 96</ref>. Gibson's nickname is "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.  


==Biography==
His life was unexpectedly ended when a [[Covenant]] boarding party invaded his ship in search of [[Forerunner]] relics they had believed to be onboard. He nearly succeeded in killing a [[Grunt]] named [[Dadab]], using a [[Fire Extinguisher|fire extinguisher]] as a weapon, but was killed by a rock in the forehead thrown by Dadab's [[Huragok]] companion ''[[Lighter Than Some]]''.  
Gibson served on civilian cruise ships, including the luxury liner ''[[Two Drink Minimum]]'', for nearly fifteen years, enjoying the ability to steer without aid and the time away from his two ex-wives, but found the constant noise to be too much for him and left his position to instead operate his own freighter hauling products from [[Harvest]]. His personal touch helped distinguish him from other services and brought him a great deal of respect.{{Ref/Reuse|ch96}}


In [[2525|January 2525]], a [[Covenant]] boarding party invaded his ship in search of [[Forerunner]] relics they had believed to be onboard. The ship's slipspace engine, [[maser]] and maneuvering rockets were damaged in the attack, which Gibson initially mistook as the work of [[piracy|pirates]], rather than aliens.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 97''</ref> He nearly succeeded in killing an [[Unggoy]] named [[Dadab]], using a fire extinguisher as a weapon, but was killed by a rock to the forehead thrown by Dadab's [[Huragok]] companion [[Lighter Than Some]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 100''</ref>
He was the first [[Human]] being to ever come face-to-face with a member of the Covenant, the first known human to be killed by a Huragok, and could be considered the first casualty of the [[Human-Covenant War]].


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The prototype [[Jotun Heavy Industries|JOTUN]] Harvester on his ship was inspected by Lighter Than Some, and later served as the Huragok's inspiration for a vehicle that would come to be known as the [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper|Brute Chopper]].
*The prototype [[Jotun Heavy Industries|JOTUN]] Harvester on his ship was inspected by ''Lighter Than Some'', and later served as the Huragok's inspiration for a vehicle that would come to be known as the [[Brute Chopper]], officially the Type-25 Rapid Assault Vehicle.
*He is the only known being to be killed by a Huragok, as they are a species that abhor violence.
*[[Lighter Than Some]]'s hunting rock, is the cause of Henry Gibson's death.
 
*Ironically, a [[Huragok]], a member of a species that despises violence, was the first member of the Covenant to actually kill a human.
