A Civilian, according to international humanitarian law, is a person who is not a member of his or her country's armed forces. The term is also often used colloquially to refer to people who are not members of a particular profession or occupation, especially by law enforcement agencies, which often use rank structures similar to those of military units. Often, the military's main purpose and occupation is to defend the civilians from invaders. However, many civilians, such as Dr. Catherine Halsey are involved with the military.
In the Halo universe
So far, extremely few have been seen in any of the Halo games. Except for the factory workers in Voi and the civilian vacationers in Arcadia, no civilian characters appear in any of the games, besides the meta-game Sadie's Story in Halo 3: ODST. However, civilian characters appear more frequently in materials outside the games.[1][2][3][4]
Both civilians and civilian vehicles have an increased role and appearance in Halo: Reach. For example, in "Exodus," the player can save civilians that are being slaughtered by Jiralhanae.
Civilian identification number
Several civilians are known to possess civilian identification numbers which functions similar to a UNSC Service Number. It is unknown whether all civilians are supplied such a number, or just those affiliated with certain industries or groups.
Known civilian ID numbers
- Inna Volkov: 9081-613-7122-P[5]
- Frank Welker: 8813-316-0955-G[6]
Trivia
- Killing a civilian in Halo: Reach results in the immediate death of the player with the message, "You killed a civilian."
