'''Simon | '''Simon Kersington''' was an actor hired by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. In 2558, he posed as the deceased teacher [[Deon Govender]] to feed [[Benjamin Giraud]] false information about the [[John-117|Master Chief]]. | ||

ONI hired | In [[2558]], reporter Benjamin Giraud was hired by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to write a story on John-117. The ONI hired him to posed as a dead teacher from [[Elysium City]] called Deon Govender.<ref name="htt">'''Hunt the Truth''', ''Episode 01: A HAIRLINE FRACTURE''</ref> Posing as Govender, Kersington claimed to have taught at Elysium City Primary Education Facility Number 119 during the future Master Chief's childhood. His first anecdote accurately relayed the story of John's dominance in games of King of the Hill. | ||
From here however, the stories | From here however, the stories Kersington told diverged into fiction. He told a story of a twelve-year-old John showing up to a high school boxing league and easily defeating the older boys. A year later, John and his parents were kidnapped by [[Insurrectionist]]s. According to "Govender", rising above this traumatic experience was instrumental in forging John into the man he would become.<ref name="htt"/> | ||
While digging through old records scavenged from Elysium City, Giraud found an old census registry which listed John (actually his [[flash clone]]) deceased at the age of six in [[2517]]. Then, before publishing the first episode of ''Hunt the Truth'', Giraud allowed [[Ellie Bloom]], a former resident of Elysium City, to listen to a rough cut of the episode. Bloom challenged the interviewee's version of events, calling him a liar. According to Bloom, there was never a boxing club at any high school in Elysium City, because youth boxing had been banned planet-wide for decades.<ref>'''Hunt the Truth''', ''Episode 03: CRITICAL CONDITION''</ref> | While digging through old records scavenged from Elysium City, Giraud found an old census registry which listed John (actually his [[flash clone]]) deceased at the age of six in [[2517]].
