An envoy of the [=UEG's=] Diplomatic Corps. Melody grew up in New Mombasa and was present for the Battle of Earth and New Mombasa in the waning days of the Human-Covenant War. Having escaped but still haunted by the nightmares of the terrors she witnessed, Melody chose to confront those fears head on by becoming a diplomat working to ensure coexistence with humanity's former enemies. One of her assignments leads her to Carrow/Rakoi to organize a peace between the human and Sangheili settlers, along with secret [=ONI=] mission parameters concerning a certain secret buried under the planet's surface and a certain team of Spartans...

* MsExposition: She's the one who needs to get Gray Team up to speed on what's happened since they went into cryo (war's over, humanity won, Covenant splintered and the Sangheili are allies, the civil war on Carrow, [[spoiler:the presence of Sharquoi on the planet]]).

* HeadInTheSandManagement: Is initially somewhat reluctant to view the Covenant as an existential threat, but quickly realizes his mistake once the peace talks go south.
* LargeAndInCharge: Thune is a big and well-built man, with the strength to match, being capable of delivering a CrushingHandshake to Sergeant Johnson himself.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Once he hears about the Covenant, he refuses to request UNSC aid out of fear that Harvest's people will riot in response. Later, he's so maddened by al-Cygni's and Loki's changes to the evacuation plans that he refuses to relinquish military command to al-Cygni, [[spoiler:forcing her to knock Thune out with stun rounds]].

what they may do with the strength Gammas- even though this forces her to match, work for an organization known for its morally suspect activities.
* CrazyPrepared: While still assuming Mark-G313 to be the killer, Lopis knew Fred would try to stop her from taking down Mark, so she slipped an improvised explosive in the power supply of Fred's armor just in case; furthermore, she had studied stolen MJOLNIR schematics earlier, which allowed her to plant the charge in a spot that would immobilize the armor. Her rather impressive foresight later enables Veta to stop Intrepid Eye from using Fred's armor to kill her.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: As a teenager, she was held captive and [[RapeAsBackstory abused]] in a small stone cellar. After escaping by killing her captor with a rock, she found out her father had died while she was gone. As a result of her traumatic experiences, she developed an intense fear of tight spaces and physical intimacy, as well as her characteristic uncompromising sense of justice.
* {{Determinator}}: She's not in the habit of giving up when solving a case, even if she's lost her entire team and the crime scene has become a war zone.
* FairCop: Her striking attractiveness is noted a number of times.
* HeelFaceTurn: While never expressly an antagonist, she was working for the [[BadBoss corrupt Arlo Casille]] and even relayed her information in the 717th's activities before realizing what her boss had been up to.

* ReadingLips: One of her several skills as a top detective, which she puts to use by picking up parts of a conversation between Fred-104 and Commander Nelson, including words like "Forerunner" and "ancilla".
* ShipTease: Veta develops an unusually close relationship

A salesman in New Mombasa during the Covenant invasion, he tries to negotiate with a Wraith pilot, knowing that some species of the Covenant were friendly, and it was a "down market".

----
* AlasPoorScrappy: InUniverse. Sadie is sad when he dies, though she hated him in life.
* MotorMouth: To the point that Sadie tells him to shut up almost immediately after meeting him, and Mike agrees.
* ShipperOnDeck: Immediately assumes Mike and Sadie are a married couple.
* TravelingSalesman: Though, to be fair, everyone else is also traveling.
* TooDumbToLive
* WrongGenreSavvy: He thinks that the Covenant is [[IComeInPeace just in a big misunderstanding]], and tries to negotiate with a Wraith tank. [[AlienInvasion He's wrong.]]

-->'''Marshall:''' [[DisproportionateRetribution I wrote. *fires* My name. *fires* Right there on the carton! *fires*]]

----
* BankRobbery: Tries to steal the money in an ATM during the invasion, using a shotgun to get her way.
* DeathByMaterialism: [[spoiler:Almost literally. A Brute pins her to the ground with an ATM she was trying to rob before finishing her with a [[HandCannon Mauler]].]]
* GenreBlind: Somehow doesn't grasp the fact that New Mombasa is being invaded by ''advanced genocidal aliens'' with no reason to fear an old woman, and instead acts like she's in a more typical disaster flick, [[spoiler:even when finally coming face-to-face with a Brute pack]].
* {{Greed}}: To the point of stupidity, considering the situation.

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Basically tells [[TheSpook Dare]], who's representing ''[[StateSec ONI]]'', to shut up.
* NoNameGiven
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Played with; though she refuses to let Dare overturn Kinsler's orders to keep the Superintendent shut down, [[spoiler:she later uses Sadie's BrandishmentBluff as an excuse to turn it back on anyways, despite not being fooled at all]]. That said, she probably only did it because it meant she wouldn't have to deal with Dare again, figuring that with the city falling apart, there's not much her NMPD superiors could do to punish her anyways.
* ScrewYourUltimatum: To Dare.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arris.jpg]]
->'''Homeworld: Aleria'''
->'''Birthdate: Unknown'''
->'''Portrayed by: Alexis Rodney'''

Having realized from a young age that mining was a dead-end industry on Aleria, Arris instead became a smuggler for a number of "courier guilds" in the hopes that he could pay off the debts plaguing his family. After the collapse of the Mols'Desias mining union, he would find himself recruiting other desperate Alerians, like Haisal Wari, to help him in various smuggling jobs.
----
* DistressedDude: Is a captive for most of his screentime in ''Film/HaloNightfall'', [[spoiler:and is taken hostage by Horrigan and Ramos when they mutiny, due to them needing Arris to activate his tug's biometric scanner in order for it to take off. He manages to nearly escape at the end, but is shot dead right after he activates his tug]].
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Shot by Horrigan right before he’s about to take off on his ship.]]
* TheCynic: Understandably so; when Haisal asks him in "Indebted Travelers" what he thinks Aleria would be like without the drought, he replies:
-->'''Arris:''' Those empowered buy up the land. Our problems would just have a new face.
* TheGamblingAddict: Not a straight example, but Locke points out that he's a gambler at heart, and takes advantage of it to get him to cooperate with his ONI squad and the Sedrans, in exchange for being allowed to take part in DrawingStraws when the time comes to determine who gets to leave the Alpha Shard.
* HadToBeSharp: His low-tech smuggling work gave him the ability to fully function in low oxygen environments without any breathing packs.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Seems to have been this with Haisal, if his reaction after [[spoiler:the latter's death]] is any indication.
* JustifiedCriminal: His smuggling is partly responsible for the bioattack on Sedra City, but he only got involved because he needed to pay off his family's debts.
* NonActionGuy: Naturally, given that he’s only a civilian.
* RedOniBlueOni: A mild example with Haisal; he's willing to act cooperatively with his captors when it's to his advantage, while Haisal makes no secret of his scorn for them. This reflects Arris being a much more experienced smuggler than Haisal.

->'''Portrayed by: Eric Kofi-Abrefa'''

Finding himself in desperate straits after the collapse of mining union Mols'Desias, Haisal became a smuggler for various "courier guilds", eventually making the acquaintance of fellow Alerian Arris Le.
----
* DistressedDude: Is captured for most of his screentime in ''Film/HaloNightfall''.
* EatenAlive: [[spoiler:Horrigan feds him to the Thanolekgolo to buy time for everyone else to escape.]]
* HadToBeSharp: His low-tech smuggling work made him capable of fully functioning in thin atmospheres without needing an oxygen pack; he's scornful of his captors for needing technology to breath properly on the Alpha Shard.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Seems to have been this with Arris, considering the latter's reaction to [[spoiler:Haisal's death]].
* JustifiedCriminal: His smuggling helped create the bioweapon that ravaged Sedra City, but he only got involved because he was unable to find other work after Mols'Desias collapsed.
* NonActionGuy: Unlike most of ''Nighfall'''s cast, he’s only a civilian.
* RedOniBlueOni: A mild example with Arris; he's openly scornful of his captors the entire time, while Arris is willing to act cooperatively with them if it benefits him. This reflects Haisal being a much less experienced smuggler than Arris.

----
* ActionSurvivor: Was briefly involved with a civilian resistance group during the initial invasion of New Mombasa, though not as a fighter.
* ChekhovsGunman: First appeared in "Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa" from ''ComicBook/TheHaloGraphicNovel'', almost ''nine'' years before he finally appeared again as the protagonist of the ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians'' marketing campaign ''ARG/HuntTheTruth''.
* CoolShades: In "Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa".
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: [[spoiler:His time in solitary at Midnight Facility has not done his psyche any good.]]
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Receives multiple messages decrying his investigations during the events of ''Hunt the Truth''. [[spoiler:Later, ONI decides to discredit him by painting him as an Insurrectionist agent.]]
* IntrepidReporter: Doing propaganda work for ONI hasn't completely dulled his journalistic instincts:
** During the invasion of New Mombasa, he decides to skip the evacuation (handing off both his lifeboat spot and his laptop containing valuable intel to a young girl instead), and stays behind to observe the ongoing invasion.
** Despite being hired by ONI to do a standard profile of the Chief, he decides to try and find the real truth behind his story (despite the fact that he's completely stepping on the toes of his employers by doing so).
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Named after the late illustrator of "Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa", Jean "Creator/{{Moebius}}" Giraud.
* NonActionGuy: The only major male character in the franchise so far to have ''zero'' combat ability.
* NoNameGiven: Was unnamed until his reappearance in ''Hunt the Truth''.
* PropagandaMachine: During the war, he helped Section Two modify war footage in order to hide just how badly humanity was losing; he feels both proud and guilty about his work, having often (half-jokingly) argued to his ONI overseers that the UNSC should just tell the public the truth about the war. After the war ends, he decides to stop toeing the ONI line.
* SelfHarm: [[spoiler:After ONI threw him into solitary confinement, he habitually hurt himself to the point of bleeding until Sullivan finally stepped in and improved his conditions. He falls into it again after Sully reveals FERO's true identity.]]
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Though he successfully discovers the AwfulTruth about the SPARTAN-II program, it turns out that ONI was letting him do so to ''discredit'' said truth, by painting Ben himself as an Innie rabble-rouser.]]

* ChekhovsGunman: First appeared in the adjunct section of the 2010 reprint of ''Literature/HaloFirstStrike'', over three years before she had a starring role in the first arc of ''ComicBook/HaloEscalation'' (and over four years before her appearance in ''ARG/HuntTheTruth'').

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Once he hears about the Covenant, he refuses to request UNSC aid out of fear that Harvest's people will riot in response. Later, he's so maddened by al-Cygni's and Loki's changes to the evacuation plans that he refuses to relinquish military command to al-Cygni, [[spoiler:forcing her to knock Thune out with stun rounds]].
