Lord Hood

 

Lord of the Rings + Robin Hood = Lord Hood? :P

 

Lord Terrence Hood

 

Admiral Hood (or Lord Hood) is the chairman of the HIGHCOM Security Committee and is the commanding officer of all UNSC Defense Forces in 2552. He commands the planet's defenses, from orbit in ODA-142 Cairo Station.Fleet Admiral Lord Terrence Hood (voiced by Ron Perlman) first appears in the novel, Halo: First Strike. He is a member of the UNSC Security Committee and is the Chief of Naval Operations.

 

Other curiosities:

• His Command Neural Interface port is clearly visible at the back of his head.
• Hood was voiced by Hollywood actor Ron Perlman in Halo 2 and in Halo 3. His appearance is closely based on Perlman's.
• Hood is said to be both a Lord and a Knight. This is unusual as under the British system of peerages, when one is made a peer, the title of Lord supersedes that of Knight in a formal address.
• Lord Hood's flagship is said to be the Forward Unto Dawn, which he bestowed to Commander Miranda Keyes prior to the Covenant Separatists and UNSC forces going through the Ark's portal.
• Lord Hood's name is most likely based upon Admiral Hood who fought Napoleon at the Battle of Toulouse.
• Lord Hood is the highest ranking UNSC officer shown in the entire Halo Trilogy.
