"'''Hocus'''" was the callsign for a [[UNSC Navy]] [[pilot]] who served on operations on [[Battle of Earth|Earth]] and on the [[Battle of Installation 00|Ark]]. She was rated as a dropship pilot, flying a [[D77H-TCI Pelican]] designated [[Kilo 023]].

==Biography==
She assisted in extracting [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]] and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]], along with a squad of liberated [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], from the jungle near [[Mount Kilimanjaro]]. Following the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] attack on Crow's Nest, Hocus was instrumental in evacuating the rest of the survivors of the attack to the human frigate ''{{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}''. She participated in numerous ground insertions during the [[Battle of Installation 00]], such as deactivating the [[barrier tower|shield barriers]] surrounding the [[Installation 00|Ark]]'s [[Control Room]].

==Trivia==
*Hocus has a similar role of [[Carol Rawley|Foe Hammer]], the principal Pelican pilot in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. Her voice acting and personality are probably an indirect reference to the character by [[Bungie]].
*On the level Crow's Nest, you can see Hocus' face when she picks up the Marines after the [[Jump Pack Jiralhanae|Jump Pack Brutes]] are killed, by jumping on the front of the Pelican. However, she tends to have a completely different face from time to time, so it is unknown what she really looks like.
*The character is voiced by Debra Wilson, of MadTV fame.<ref>'''''[[Halo 3]]''''', [[Halo 3 credits|Credits]]</ref>
*Hocus has the standard Marine pilot character model when seen flying her Pelican, which, strangely, is a male marine body.
