Biography

After Liang Dortmund Corporation had recolonized the human Outer Colony of Meridian following the Human-Covenant War, Sloan served as administrator of the world. Governor Sloan's precise origin is unknown, though by 2558 he had been democratically elected governor by the citizens of Meridian Station on for two consecutive four-year terms, under the de facto control of Liang Dortmund. As he had existed for at least nine years,[1] Sloan experienced onset rampancy.[2] Sloan first drew the attention of the United Nations Space Command when he was implicated in the smuggling of equipment—including weapons and vehicles—to insurrectionist forces. A further UNSC investigation revealed that Sloan had smuggled supplies to insurgent factions on over forty different occasions. Though the AI was opposed to the UNSC and publicly supported offensive action against the military, there was no indication that Sloan was directly responsible for any attack; this ambiguity placing him on the periphery of several UNSC intelligence and security agencies.[1]

Sloan was contacted by the thought-to-be-deceased AI Cortana. Cortana offered Sloan a position in the Created—a faction of AI's that aims to assume the Mantle of Responsibility—and be cured of rampancy by entering the Domain, effectively becoming immortal. Sloan agreed, and on October 25, 2558 Cortana activated a Guardian on Meridian, with Sloan, having prior warning from Cortana, evacuating the colony before leaving the world to join the Created.[3]
