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 took over Mack's processor when the time needed be. Loki is unlike any other AI in that he can trade places with Mack. Besides a few minor variations of the avatar, mainly the eye color but Loki's avatar is clean whereas Mack's is dirty from "working in the field", they look the same. When Harvest was attacked, Loki made the escape plan, destroyed the Tiara and killed Sif.
