Captain Jacob KeyesTwenty-six years into his military career, Captain Keyes commands respect as a keen strategist and inspirational leader of his men. He bacame a minor hero early in his career, when he led a small group of security troops against a Covenant ambush of the colony ship Meriwether Lewis and held the Covenant off long enough for the ship to escape. His many decorations and years of combat experience against the Covenant made him a natual choice to command the Pillar of Autumn and its secret cargo.
Captain Keyes was picked early in his career to help Dr. Catherine Halsey with her task of searching for able subjects for her SPARTAN-II project. Though after this task was complete, he went back to normal duty and became an excellent strategist when dealing with Covenant. He outwitted and destroyed a handful of Covenant Crusiers with a daring manuver.
Unforunately, Keyes was killed during the events on Halo. Spartan-117 killed him after he had been absorbed by the Flood. His CNI enabled Spartan-117 and Cortana to start up the Pillar of Autumn's engines so they could destroy Halo by overloading them.
His surviving daughter, Miranda Keyes, accepted a posthumous medal awarded to him for his bravery during the events on Halo.
