Makee is a young woman who, having been orphaned as a child, was raised by members of the Covenant.[2] As such, she came to share in her caretakers' contempt for humanity.[2]
Biography
Early Life
Makee was born on the UEG Tier 2 Waste Disposal colony Oban where she was friends with a boy named who became her love interest Det. Det would read The Dawn of Angels to Makee and they would dream of other worlds and a better life amongst the stars. One day, as the two were about to kiss, they were spotted slacking off by guards and chased. Much to Makee's horror, she witnessed Det being beaten to death by one of the brutal enforcers. Makee took the book from Det's hand as she was dragged off.[1]
Joining the Covenant
Suddenly, two Covenant Sangheili arrived with a Luminary, causing chaos. The enforcer who had killed Det burned Makee with an electric baton before the Sangheili saved her. The two Covenant warriors realized that the Luminary was leading them to Makee herself and Makee willing left with them, taking The Dawn of Angels with her as a memento of Det.[1] Makee was subsequently taken back to High Charity where she was indoctrinated into the Covenant religion and revered due to her status as a "Blessed One."[3][4][1]
Searching for the Keystone
In 2552, the Prophet of Mercy visited Makee in her room on High Charity following the Attack on Madrigal, addressing her as Blessed One. Mercy told Makee of the report of a surviving Sangheili who had witnessed a Demon touch the Forerunner artifact that they were after and had it respond to him in the same way that Forerunner artifacts did to Makee. Mercy also expressed interest in the human book that Makee was reading, suggesting that she could read it to him one day. Makee demanded to speak to the surviving warrior herself about what he had witnessed.[3]
Makee later listened to the warrior's story and recognized that the artifact really was one of the keystones that could lead them to the Sacred Ring. Makee decided to go after the keystone herself, briefly arguing with the Hierarchs and pointing out that she could blend in with the humans better than anyone else. Left alone, Makee undressed herself, revealing the scar on her back.[4] from the shock baton that the enforcer had used on Makee as a child.[1]
Production notes
Makee in Halo: The Television Series is portrayed by Irish actress Charlie Murphy. Makee's existence and casting was first unveiled by Showtime on November 8, 2019.[2] According to Frank O'Connor, Franchise Development Director at 343 Industries, audiences will be shown why Makee was spared from destruction by the Covenant within minutes of being introduced to her. He has also stated that the rationality behind this decision involves something anyone familiar with the Halo games should know about.[5]
