Vice Admiral Danforth WhitcombHis accomplishments during the battle of New Constantinople, and the Siege of the Atlas Moons are among some of the best strategic decisions made during the war. His war record was required reading for the Spartans during their training. After the battle of Reach, Admiral Whitcomb accompanied the remaining survivors off Reach. He approved the Master Chief's plan to destroy the Covenant fleet massing to attack Earth. After this mission, however, he took the captured Covenant Flagship Ascendant Justice into battle to hold the Covenant off as long as possible so the Spartans could survive and warn Earth. His valiant sacrifice set back the Covenant's invasion by months, perhaps even a year or two.
