The Key of Osanalan was a simple imaginary skeleton key, seemingly fashioned from tin-foil, that Ruwan and James Ackerson used in make-believe games when they were young.[1]
Background
During their childhood, James and Ruwan Ackerson used the imaginary Key of Osanalan to rescue the "Princess" as part of their make-believe games.[2]
During the Human-Covenant War, James Ackerson, now a colonel in the UNSC Army, was captured after the Battle of Mare Erythraeum. While he was being interrogated by the Jiralhanae Shipmaster Lepidus, he said that the Halos would not properly activate without the Key of Osanlan, causing the Covenant to go on a misleading search for the "Key". Ruwan, after realizing the importance of the Covenant's belief in the key, contacted the Covenant, saying that he would give them the Key when they met. Once they arrived, Ruwan then informed them that he was the Key. Confused, the Covenant brought Ruwan to their ship. Ruwan had been implanted with, Tykos 30, an organic trackeing compound. Moments before Nassau Station used its Magnetic Accelerator Cannon to destroy the ship, Ruwan told the Minister of Inquisition to "kiss [his] ass".[3]
After the destruction of Harbinger of Piety, James Ackerson openly mocked the Covenant about the key's non-existence, which ended in his death.[3]
Trivia

However, the panels span across the two pages and are not meant to be read in that order. Ruwan was in fact answering the Minister's demand of, "Tell us what you know of the Halo.".
