Wellsley is a Class-C Military A.I. who helps Major Antonio Silva and First Lieutenant Melissa McKay on Halo to set up and operate Alpha Base. He is only seen in Halo: The Flood and mentioned but not named in Halo: The Fall of Reach. He is consumed in the destruction of the Truth and Reconciliation.
He is also a "dumb" A.I., meaning he was only created for one type of position, in this case being a military assistant. His name and personality come from the Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, who won the Battle of Waterloo. The A.I. Wellsley often refers to victories that the Duke made as though he were the Duke and not an artificial recreation.[1] It is possible, though unconfirmed, that he was the original A.I of the UNSC Pillar of Autumn but was replaced by Cortana. Lieutenant Hikowa mentioned Wellsley as being for "point defense."[2].
