Cortana
-Description: "Cortana" is the AI assigned to the Master Chief as his MJOLNIR Mark V AI system. She was also to act as the Pillar of Autumn's shipboard AI until the team reached the target. Cortana is highly intelligent and adaptable, and assists the vessel's crew in tactical matters.
Her self-determined guise is female, with a dry, witty sense of humor and even elements of a hot temper. She is fiercely protective of the Master Chief, the crew, and her ship.
She is capable of navigating Halo's computer system, intercepting and translating Covenant battle transmissions in real time, and providing the Master Chief with mission waypoints, cartographic data, and tactical advice.
Following her experiences on Halo-where she spends considerable time listening in on Covenant networks-Cortana is probably the best source of intelligence on the Covenant in human hands. |
