Ignatio Delgado (Earth-4001)

"Commander Hadley: So, why are you joining, Mr. Delgado? Ignatio Delgado: I'd like to shoot down some Covenant ships, Mr. ONI man."

Ignatio Delgado was a highly trusted resident of the Rubble. He was chosen by the community's security council to keep control over a data chip that contained the location of Earth. After the destruction of the Rubble, Delgado joined the UNSC Navy with the promise of a posting on an ONI Prowler if he passed his training.

History
The history of Ignatio Delgado is the same as his mainstream counterpart.

Personality
Delgado is known for being loyal, such as still attending his co-pilot's funeral when most of the attendants blamed him for the death. Additionally, when the Spartans of Gray Team asked for his assistance in locating the data chip, he initially refused, as he disliked the UNSC. However, he grew to trust the Spartans and other members of the UNSC. When the Rubble allied with some Kig-Yar, Delgado did not trust the aliens.

Despite being close to Diego Esquival, he still felt awkward due to his parents' views toward people like Diego (a known Insurrectionist), who used to plant bombs in passenger ships and engage in other rebel activity for money, which his parents called "blood money."

Trivia

 * His childhood nickname was Nacho. Only Maria Esquival continued to call him that as an adult.
 * In The Cole Protocol, it states that he was fourteen when Madrigal was glassed in 2528, implying he was born in 2514. However, if his birthday was later in the year, after Madrigal was glassed, then he would have turned fifteen in 2528, thus he would have been born in 2513.
 * Delgado, as well as most of the residents of The Rubble are likely of Spanish origin. This may be due to most of the Rubble residents having Hispanic names and partaking in Latin American customs such as the quincieñera. This implies that most people that lived in the colony of Madrigal, as well as the Rubble, came from Spain or Latin American descent.
