'''Governor Nils Thune''' was the jolly and enthusiastically optimistic Governor of [[Harvest]] until the planet's fall in [[2525]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''Chapter 15'', ''page 238 (Paperback)''</ref> | |||
==Biography== | |||
Thune was born in Minnesota and raised as a [[Wikipedia:Lutheranism|Lutheran]]. As a young boy, he was part of the colonization of Harvest. As Governor, he later kept a [[holo-still]] of [[Utgard]] in the early days of colonization in his office. As a child, he was tall, yet already overweight.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''Chapter 19'', ''page 322 (Paperback)''</ref> | |||
By 2524, he had risen to the position of Governor of Harvest, with [[Rol Pedersen]] was his Attorney General. He had the misfortune of serving his planet during both the [[Insurrection]] and later the first contact with the [[Covenant]]. To provide security against rebels, he approved the formation of a [[Harvest militia|Harvest branch]] of the [[Colonial Militia]]. He was later furious to discover that the detachment he had approved was actually meant to be a covert counter-insurgency unit. | |||
He later presided over the disastrous first contact with the Covenant. Ignoring the near-inevitable future hostilities between the human colonists and the Covenant emissaries, blindly hoping for a peaceful and prosperous relationship with the Covenant, he was nearly killed during a meeting with [[Jiralhanae]] representatives of the Covenant. His foolishness eventually resulted in [[Jilan al-Cygni]] being forced to remove him from power by paralyzing him with [[TTR|TTR rounds]]. | |||
