Loki was an Planetary Security Artificial Intelligence construct in service with the United Nations Space Command. It was stationed aboard the Phoenix-class Colony Ship, UNSC Skidbladnir [1] until it landed on Harvest. Loki was then taken over by the AI Mack. Loki and Mack had done this many times to prevent rampancy caused by old age. Loki waited in Mack's processor for a time when he may be needed. Loki is unlike any other AI in that he can trade places with Mack. Besides a few minor variations of the avatar, mainly the eyes, they look the same. When Harvest was attacked, Loki made the escape plan, destroyed the Tiara and killed Sif.
Trivia
- Loki is named after the god of chaos in Norse Mythology. He was an adept shape-shifter and could change not only his form, but also his sex, possibly referencing the ability to switch between himself and Mack. In Norse Mythology, he usually plays the role of villain and trickster.
