Lieutenant Rick Hale (serial #876-544-321)[1] was a UNSC officer and Pelican pilot in 2552. He was assigned to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn with Dropship Charlie 217.[1]

Biography[edit]

When the Autumn arrived at Installation 04 and crashed on its surface, Hale and his Pelican managed to survive the crash and escaped but were captured by Covenant forces.[1] However, Hale was kept alive so that he could be used as a decoy for Special Operations Sangheili commander Zuka 'Zamamee's plan to attack Alpha Base, the human stronghold.[1]

Hale was forced to fly to Alpha Base and radio in to get clearance to land. He put on a convincing transmission to Wellsley, claiming he had wounded onboard, though his Pelican was actually overloaded with 30 Spec Ops Sangheili in Active Camouflage.[1] As soon as Hale had permission to land, 'Zamamee killed him with an energy garrote and took over for the landing.[1] The last thing Hale ever did was soil himself.

Trivia[edit]

Rick Hale, along with Ellen Dowski and Peter Bonifacio are humans who collaborated with the Covenant, only to be killed when their usefulness were over.
