'''Ensign William Lovell''' | '''Ensign William Lovell''' was a [[Ensign|Junior Officer]] in the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]]. He was a member of the command crew of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. During his eventful career, he developed a [[CSV|Career Service Vitae]] that was at least twice as long as [[Jacob Keyes]]' <ref name="Keyes">''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 159</ref>. He had been awarded the [[Bronze Star]] award three times. | ||

Within three years he had been promoted to [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]] <ref name="Keyes"/>. He also amassed three [[The Bronze Star|Bronze Stars]], a [[The Silver Star|Silver Star]], and two [[The Purple Heart|Purple Hearts]], and served aboard the {{UNSCShip|Gorgon}} for a period of four years. | ||

A promising career was rocked by a series of mishaps: four reports of insubordination and two transfers.

He was there for a year, an unheard of duration for such a remote facility <ref name="Keyes"/>. This was partially his own choice, due to his judgment that he had broken under pressure and having seen so much death, was content with the isolation and relative safety of the outpost. | ||

In [[2552]], while | In [[2552]], while on ''Archimedes'', he detected the silhouette of [[Covenant]] ships headed for the Sigma Octanus. While he did not positively identify the silhouette as such <ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 137-138</ref>, his report allowed UNSC forces to converge in defense of the system in time to win the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]. Lovell was reassigned to the {{UNSCShip|Iroquois}} under Captain Jacob Keyes, replacing [[Lieutenant]] [[Jaggers]] as navigation officer. There he participated more actively in the battle <ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 188</ref>. | ||

Despite his low rank, and the surprise it caused among the bridge crew, Lovell performed skillfully, even under pressure. He and [[Cortana]] successfully extracted the ship from the disaster. When the ship was abandoned during the [[Battle of Installation 04]], Lovell piloted and landed his [[Bumblebee]] lifepod ([[Kilo Tango Victor 17]]) containing Keyes, the command crew, and the [[Covenant]] spy [[Isna 'Nosolee]]. | Shortly afterward, Lovell was transferred with the rest of the command crew to Keyes' new ship, the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} and participated in the [[Fall of Reach]].

Because they were wanted alive, the small group manage to inflict heavy damage on the Covenant, who could not harm them. Ultimately, they were captured by the [[Covenant]] after being betrayed by [[Ensign]] [[Ellen Dowski]]. In an attempt to avoid execution, he made a desperate dive for a [[M6D|M6D Sidearm]], but was shot and killed by a [[Sangheili]] [[Elite Minor|Minor]] with a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]]. | ||
