'''Ned Rich''' was a high-ranking officer of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and a [[Rear Admiral]] in [[2531]].
==Biography==
Ned Rich was born in 2491, but his hair had turned gray before he was 40 years old.<ref name="GOO">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 43-44''</ref> By 2531, Rich was the Covert Operations commander of [[ONI Section Three]], in charge of every field operation by ONI, save the [[SPARTAN-II program]] headed by [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]]. He was opposed to the SPARTAN-II program because the project had achieved a level of success he never could have with his own projects.


In 2531, he, [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Aaron Gibson]], and [[Vice Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] met with [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Point of No Return}} to discuss the creation of the [[SPARTAN-III program]]. Rich approved of the program, seeing it as a cheaper alternative to the SPARTAN-IIs.{{Ref/Reuse|GOO}} In [[2537]], Rich and Parangosky authorized the members of [[Beta Company]] to be recruited and trained, following the death of the entire [[Alpha Company]] SPARTAN-IIIs in [[Operation: PROMETHEUS]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 80''</ref>
'''Rich''' was a high-ranking officer of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and a [[Rear Admiral]] in [[2531]]. He was the Covert Operations commander of Section Three, in charge of every field operation by ONI, save the [[Spartan-II]] project of [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]]. He was born in 2491, but his hair had turned grey before he was 40 years old. In 2552, he would be 61 years old. <ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 43</ref>


==Personality and traits==
He is an interesting man, preferring cheap whiskey to water. It is alluded to that [[Vice Admiral Margaret O. Parangosky]] had only been crossed by one person who survived (in [[Ghosts of Onyx]]). It is possible it was Rear Admiral Rich. When Parangosky said, "Very well... I'll bite." when confronted with Colonel Ackerson's proposal to which he replies "Nothing new with that, Margaret." It is possible, he is the surviving person mentioned, but it could be that he was with her when she was crossed. <ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 44</ref>
Rich was a somewhat irreverent officer, making use of mild profanities in staff meetings and drinking whiskey on duty. He would also address his superior, Margaret Parangosky, by her first name, even in the presence of subordinates.{{Ref/Reuse|GOO}}


==Trivia==
He was opposed to the Spartan-II program and Halsey because the project, had achieved a level of success he never could have with his own projects. In 2531, he, [[Captain Gibson]], and [[Vice Admiral Margaret O. Parangosky]] met with [[Colonel James Ackerson]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Point of No Return}} to discuss the creation of the [[Spartan-III]] program.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] pages 43-44</ref> Rich approved. In [[2537]], Rich and Parangosky authorized [[Beta Company]] to be created following the death of all [[Alpha Company]] Spartan-IIIs in [[Operation: PROMETHEUS]].<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 80</ref>{{Clear}}
Rich may have been killed before October 20th, 2552, as his name appears on the [[ONI memorial|memorial]] at [[ONI Alpha Site (location)|ONI Alpha Site]] in [[New Mombasa]]. However, as a number of individuals known to have been alive at the time are also listed, it is possible his name in the memorial is simply an Easter egg; indeed, the memorial lists every ONI member who had been named in the fiction at the time of the release of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', including several who have since been shown to still be alive, such as Admiral Parangosky.
