Avery Johnson
[edit]Sergeant Major Avery J. Johnson, (voiced by David Scully) is a Marine who leads human forces against Covenant and Flood assaults throughout the Halo series. Johnson and a few other soldiers survive the destruction of Installation 04 and are rescued by Cortana and the Master Chief during the novel Halo: First Strike. Johnson plays a much larger role in Halo 2, by joining forces with Covenant Arbiter to stop Tartarus from activating Installation 05.[16] Johnson is also the only human seen to survive a Flood infestation, due to a pre-existing medical condition, known as Boren's Syndrome.[17] In Halo 2, he is awarded the Colonial Cross for his heroic actions,[18] and leads UNSC forces to drive the Covenant from New Mombasa, Kenya after the aliens take the city during the events of the game. Johnson is the sole character featured in the Halo Graphic Novel story, "Breaking Quarantine", which details Johnson's escape from the Flood in Halo: Combat Evolved, and a main character in Halo: Contact Harvest. In Halo 3, he is killed by 343 Guilty Spark when trying to activate the uncompleted Halo at the Ark.
In many ways similar to the stereotype of charismatic black Marines found in other science fiction (such as Sergeant Apone in Aliens),[19] some publications found Johnson, though enjoyable, somewhat of a flat character. In an interview for Halo: Contact Harvest, Joseph Staten of Bungie admitted that Johnson was a static character in Halo: Combat Evolved, and that despite the character's potential, "he sort of inherited those caricature aspects [from Halo]."[19] Contact Harvest was a chance "to do right by Johnson, to give him the rich, fully fleshed out backstory he deserves, that we have never been able to give him in the game."[19]
