The icons used to express the Superintendent.
An Avatar is the physical representation of an Artificial Intelligence or AI, used as a way to better interact with Humans.
While not used by all AIs, every "smart" AI uses an avatar as do many "dumb" AIs. This physical representation is chosen by the AI upon their creation and can be whatever they desire it to be. Although the duty which the A.I. is to perform, combined with the Human brain that was used to create it, have a great deal to do with what avatar they chose to appear as.[1][2]
List of Known UNSC A.I.s and their Avatars
- Cortana: Tall and slender woman with short-cut hair in Halo: Combat Evolved, then long hair in Halo 2 and Halo 3.
- Deep Winter: An old man with a snowy cape, often accompanied by holographic ice and snow.[4]
- Déjà: The appearance of a Greek goddess: barefoot, wrapped in the toga, motes of light dancing about her luminous white hair and holds a clay tablet in her left hand.[1]
- Endless Summer: A tall, red Cherokee Indian chief, bare-chested, wearing buckskins, and with a feathered spear in hand.[4]
- Lysithea: A sweet feminine voice with a laugh that sounds like "fine bone china clinking together."[3]
- Melissa: Tall and slender with long hair, Marathon symbol on her left shoulder. Yellow or black or brown, depending on the image.
- Rebecca: She is the only known A.I. to have two appearances. Her first appearance is described as "half-Athena, half-Ares" with a feathered Greek headdress and ancient armor. She then changed her appearance to a flabby, middle-aged Mediterranean woman in a flower dress.[6]
- Sif: Wears an ankle-length, sleeveless gown of "interwoven sunset hues" and has long, golden hair, which falls "in waves to the middle of her back".[2]
