'''Hocus''' was a [[Pelican]] [[pilot]] in the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Second Battle of Earth]]. She was stationed at the [[UNSC]] [[Crow's Nest (Base)|Crow's Nest]] base, before being stationed aboard the [[UNSC]] [[frigate]] ''[[ UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]]'', piloting [[Pelican]] [[Kilo 023]]. When flying from [[Crow's Nest (Base)|Crow's Nest]], she rescued the [[Master Chief]] who was pinned down by a couple of [[Phantoms]] after rescuing [[Sergeant Johnson]] and a squad of captured [[Marines]]. Hocus participated in numerous ground insertions during the Battle of the [[Installation 00|Ark]], including a mission to deactivate the barriers of the [[Installation 00|Ark]]'s [[Control Room]].

It is unknown if she died or not, since the game did not mention her after the level, [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]. It is likely she survived and was returned to [[Earth]] along with the rest of the remaining [[humans]] and [[Elites]] stationed over [[Installation 00]].
