Unnamed NMPD Officer

"Sorry friend, but you know way too much."

- The Unnamed NMPD Officer, right before turning on the Rookie.

The Unnamed NMPD Officer was a police officer in the New Mombasa Police Department during 2552.

Biography
Some time after the Covenant invasion on Earth, his team was sent into the Superintendent's Data Center under specific orders from Commissioner Kinsler to make sure Dr. Endesha is dead, then kill the Huragok inside the Superintendent's core and retrieve the AI's core data. Most of his team were killed on the way down, and he was the only one left when an ODST known as the Rookie encountered him on Sublevel 07. He couldn't open data stacks or some of the doors, as the Superintendent didn't trust him. With the Rookie, however, he could progress deeper into the facility.

Later, in a frozen section of the Data Center, he told the Rookie to wait outside a room as he'd go to check on "personal business." The Rookie followed him however, and in the room, the dead body of Dr. Endesha was found. The cop now told the trooper of his goal, and now that he knew of his classified mission, he couldn't let him live. The cop attacked the Rookie, who then killed the officer in self-defense. The Superintendent reacts to this by saying, "CRIME DOESN'T PAY. GOOD CITIZENS DO THEIR PART." Alternatively, if the player hasn't acquired at least 29 of the 30 audio clips, the officer will instead be killed by a swarm of Drones when the Rookie descends to Sublevel 09.

Trivia

 * Their are two ways to kill him: The person-to-person fight, or the death loop with the drones which can be performed by jumping into the last Data Stack before he does. The death loop could prove easier on higher difficulties, so you can save ammo, and possibly some of your health that you'll need later on.
 * He is the first human enemy in any Halo game, excluding the Marines in the 3rd and 4th Arbiter levels in Halo 2, who are never actually encountered.
