Governor Sloan is an artificial intelligence construct who was the leader of the independent human colony of Meridian until 2558, when he joined the Created.[2]
Biography
Governor Sloan first drew UNSC attention when he was implicated in the smuggling of equipment – including vehicles and weapons – to rebel forces. Further investigation revealed that Sloan routed supplies to insurrectionists on over 40 distinct occasions. While he staunchly opposed the expansion of UNSC territories into frontier worlds and publically supported several offensive actions against UNSC bases, there was no indication that Sloan was directly responsible for any attacks. This ambiguity kept him on the periphery of the UNSC's security agencies.[1]
After its glassing in 2551,[3] Meridian was recolonized by the Liang Dortmund Corporation, with Governor Sloan becoming the leader and overseer of the moon. He was democratically elected governor by the citizens of Meridian Station for two consecutive four-year terms.[1] By 2558, Sloan had entered into rampancy[4] and was contacted by the thought-to-be-deceased AI Cortana. Cortana offered Sloan a position in the Created—a faction of AI's that aims to assume the Mantle of Responsibility—and be cured of rampancy by entering the Domain, effectively becoming immortal. Sloan agreed, and on October 25, 2558 Cortana activated a Guardian on Meridian, with Sloan, having prior warning from Cortana, evacuating his people before leaving Meridian to join the Created.[2]
