An ONI Artificial Intelligence construct, Beowulf was the attaché to Admiral Micheal Stanforth and the UNSC Navy. He was present during the Spartans original briefing about the Covenant.
He was later assigned to guard the UNSC personnel and planning database. He knew Cortana well and knew that she was trouble. When she would try to get into the system, he would block her entrance.[1]He was thorough, methodical and paranoid. However, he was no match for Cortana's code-cracking skills. Though he was incapable of learning because he was known as a "dumb" AI.[1]His hologram form was that of a man wearing a hooded cloak.
