'''Captain Jacob Keyes''' ([[service number]] '''01928-19912-JK''') was one of the most brilliant tacticians in the [[UNSC Navy]]. He commanded great respect as a highly skilled strategist and inspirational leader to those under his command. His many decorations, thirty-five years of combat experience against the [[Covenant]] and [[Insurrectionist]]s, and ability to keep a secret made him an almost natural choice to command the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} and its secret cargo. | |||

In [[2517]], [[seven]] weeks out of the OCS, [[Lieutenant, Junior Grade|Lieutenant (J.G.)]] Keyes was assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Magellan}} when those orders were rescinded and he was chosen to assist Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] with her task of searching for usable subjects for her [[SPARTAN-II]] project.<ref name="for19"/> Keyes was chosen by Halsey for this assignment partly because he could "keep a secret". In order to fool anybody who was suspicious, they told them that they were looking for a school for their daughter, and so they both began observing the chosen subjects for the program. The first child they chose was SPARTAN subject number 117: [[John-117|John]].<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 25''</ref> Later, he expressed doubts when Halsey actually let [[Soren-066]] choose whether he wanted to become a Spartan, saying it was an "awful lot to lay on a child, even one who's grown up so fast."<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''page 16''</ref> Keyes never forgot this assignment or the names of each and every one of the children. | |||
As Keyes slowly started learning of the true nature of the SPARTAN-II project, Dr. Halsey immediately sent him back to normal duty with a full [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]] commission.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 28''</ref> In [[2524]], he was reunited with Dr. Halsey while attending a conference at the [[University of Calippus]]; it was on this occasion that they [[Reproduction|conceived]] their daughter, [[Miranda Keyes|Miranda Halsey]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''</ref> | |||

They attempted to escape with Jeffries' Pelican, but it was destroyed by rebel [[RPG]] fire, resulting in the death of Jeffries.

After the death of Jason Kincaide, twenty ODSTs dropped into Scyllion and broke up any remaining resistance.

The ''Midsummer Night'' trailed the ''Kestrel'' for nearly a week, eventually following it to the [[23 Librae]] system.

The ''Midsummer Night'' was forced to dock with the [[Habitat Asuncion]] asteroid and the frigate's crew was given the option to become a resident of the Rubble or be held in prison cells. Keyes gave a speech telling the crew that he would forgive them if they choose to become residents, but he decided that he would not join their citizenry.

The ''Pillar of Autumn'' | [[File:Keyes Needler.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Keyes arms himself with a [[Type-33 Needler]] and prepares to fight his way out of the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''.]] | ||
The ''Pillar of Autumn'''s [[AI]] [[Cortana]] ended up navigating the vessel to [[Installation 04]]. They were once again assaulted by Covenant forces, and Captain Keyes told Cortana to lock in a selection of landing zones on the ring and to upload them to his neural interface. Keyes then assigned the Master Chief to protect Cortana and she became a valuable asset to him. Keyes locked in the codes and the ''Pillar of Autumn'' crashed on the ring.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> | |||
Keyes and the command crew of the ''Autumn'' managed to escape in a [[Bumblebee]] life pod, [[Kilo Tango Victor 17]].<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]]''</ref> During the descent, the [[Ossoona]], [[Isna 'Nosolee]] was discovered to be lurking aboard by Keyes, and subsequently killed by the Captain.

Unfortunately, they were still spotted in the descent by two [[Sangheili]] on [[Type-32 Ghost]]s. Due to the actions of traitor [[Ensign]] [[Ellen Dowski]], the Covenant were able to find out where Keyes and the command crew were. When they got there they incapacitated the Captain and killed the rest of the command crew, including Dowski herself. Despite being an inspirational leader to many under his command, the Captain also has a great deal amount of respect for each and everyone of his crew and he dearly cares about them. The death of his crew shocked him, and he had wished to die as well as he was captured by the Covenant.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 88''</ref> | ||
Keyes was taken aboard the Covenant {{ | Keyes was taken aboard the Covenant {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}, the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. There, he was interrogated, tortured, and held prisoner until the Master Chief, the ODSTs, and a group of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] were able to rescue him with the help of Cortana. Combining what Keyes found out from what Cortana was able to hack from the Covenant battlenet, they were able to figure out some of the truth about Halo. They were forced to commandeer a [[Spirit]] dropship, during their escape and Keyes piloted it out himself, even going so far as to ram two [[Mgalekgolo]] on the flight out for "a little payback".<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''</ref> | ||
[[File:KeyesJohnsonCEA.png|thumb|left|250px|Keyes and Sergeant Johnson engaging [[Pod infector]]s as their squad is overwhelmed.]] | |||
Keyes then went to [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]], taking command of the base from [[Major (UNSC)|Major]] [[Antonio Silva]] briefly. He then took [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]], [[Fire Team Charlie]] and [[Second Squad (Installation 04)|Second Squad]] to a facility they thought held a Covenant weapons cache. It turned out that the structure was one of the Halo's [[Flood containment facility|Flood containment facilities]]. Keyes and his Marines were ambushed by the [[Flood]]. During the ensuing firefight, a [[Pod infector]] latched onto his back and infected him.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]''</ref> | |||
Keyes observed helplessly as the Pod infector took over his body and attacked his mind. Originally, Keyes' body was a [[Flood combat form|combat form]], but the Flood, apparently realizing his importance, merged him and several other combat forms into a [[proto-Gravemind]]. One of the tortures Keyes endured was having his memories ripped away one by one as the Flood tried to learn anything that would help attain new sources of food.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''pages 225-227''</ref> The Flood hoped that his intelligence would help them to operate a damaged Covenant cruiser and escape the ring, but Keyes was able to fend it off by constantly accessing data that was permanently stored in his [[command neural interface]], while feeding it those of his memories that were not vital to the survival of humanity, such as his name, age, and service number (though definitely not anything that could lead to the thought of the location of Earth).<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''pages 253-254''</ref> | Keyes observed helplessly as the Pod infector took over his body and attacked his mind.

He was prepared and willing to give anything for his planet. He would often [[Keyes Loop|charge headlong into battle]] keeping a straight and calm face, along with an underlying strategy. Keyes was also known to be fearless in most situations, as he refused to tell [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] about [[John-117]], and even dared the [[Sangheili]] to kill him. | ||

In the modern U.S. Military, it would be worn before Ribbon 6 (however, this can be the common occurrence in works of fiction of portraying military personnel as slightly off regulations). Then again, it is also unlikely that Keyes, a naval captain, won an award for being an enlisted member of the Air Force. We can only assume that the meaning of these ribbons has changed. | ||

Despite holding the [[Captain (Navy)|Naval rank of captain (O-6)]], Keyes is consistently depicted with the bars of a [[Unified Ground Command|UNICOM]] [[Captain (ground forces)|captain (O-3)]] rather than the proper Captain's Eagle.
