'''General Howard Graves''' was a [[human]] rebel, one of three people who made up the leadership of the [[United Rebel Front]]. As a member of the rebel leadership, Graves was a valuable target that the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] would have loved to capture.

==Biography==
The Insurrectionists were dealt a series of blows in [[2531]] when the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] sabotaged a number of their operations. This attracted the attention of Graves, who began to target the Spartans directly. In May [[2531]], he planned an [[Operation: SMOKING ACES|elaborate ambush]] for them at [[Camp New Hope]] using several [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s and an [[antigravity plate]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 37''</ref> 

During the course of the ambush, he underestimated the Spartans, and was killed while trying to spring the trap after an [[Asteroidea anti-personnel mine]] thrown by [[Kurt-051|SPARTAN-051]] exploded and sent a piece of shrapnel into his skull. [[John-117]] described the loss of Graves as "unfortunate," as he held the secrets that [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] would have desperately wanted to get their hands on as well as knowledge of how far the rebels had penetrated within the UNSC.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 38''</ref>
