Michael Bishop (Earth-5875)

"We're at war, on the brink of extinction, Ripley. Reach is falling. Our backs are against the wall. Extreme measures are necessary to ensure our survival. Think of all we could achieve with it."

- - Michael Bishop to Ellen Ripley

Major Michael Bishop was an Auton synthetic operative within the Office of Naval Intelligence, who was notably responsible for conducting field operations and creating other synthetics that came to serve the UNSC Navy, such as Bishop, under ONI's Watershed Division. In August 2552, he was sent to Fiorina 161 in order to persuade Ellen Ripley to give herself in for ONI and allow them to study the Keymind xenomorph Chestburster that was gestating inside of her so they could weaponize it and use it against the Covenant to turn the tide on the First Contact War.
