Sloan' | Sloan was created on Meridian in [[2551]] just as the Covenant began to glass the moon. The brain donor for [[cognitive impression modeling]] was [[Johanson Sloan]], the senior vice president of [[Chalybs Defense Solutions]] and a secret [[insurrectionist]] spy that went by the name of Jonas Sladwal.<ref name="R19">''[[Halo: Retribution]]'', ''Ch''apter 19''''</ref> | ||
He 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 security agencies.<ref name="universe"/> | |||
After the [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]] recolonized the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Meridian]] following the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Sloan served as administrator of the world, residing within the primary settlement of [[Meridian Station]]. By [[2558]] he had been [[Democracy|democratically]] elected [[governor]] by the citizens of Meridian Station for two consecutive four-year terms, under the ''de facto'' control of Liang-Dortmund. As a [[smart AI]] who had been in service for at least nine years,<ref name="universe"/> Sloan inevitably experienced onset [[rampancy]],<ref name="meridian station"/> the inevitable degradation of all smart AI. To counteract his condition, Sloan has dedicated much of his remaining energy toward staving off the effects of his rampancy. Sloan's image and vocalizations were heavily degraded as a result, though his mental faculties appeared to remain fairly stable.<ref name="universe"/> | After the [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]] recolonized the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Meridian]] following the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Sloan served as administrator of the world, residing within the primary settlement of [[Meridian Station]].
