Captain Whitaker (Earth-4001)

"John-117: Don't count on UNSC support. Whitaker: Been a long time since we counted on Earth for anything."

- John-117 and Whitaker

Captain Whitaker was a high-ranking member of the local Insurrectionist militia on Alpha Corvi II.

History
The history of Robert Watts is the same as his mainstream counterpart.

Personality
Like all Insurrectionists, Whitaker harbored a deep distrust and resentment of the UNSC and its abuses of power across its colonies, and was completely loyal to the United Rebel Front which sought independence from them. However, Whitaker was pragmatic and deeply perceptive, prioritizing the survival of his men over the rifts that had divided humanity. His pragmatism was most apparent when he agreed to a truce with Spartan-II supersoldier John-117, recognizing that he could not hope to best the physically superior soldier and that it was more beneficial to aid him rather than resist him when confronted with the ongoing genocide being waged against the human race. Whitaker was able to put aside his differences with the soldiers of the UNSC in order to assure his men and his planet some hope of survival, and proved an invaluable ally in their struggle to stop the Covenant's pursuit of the Forerunner artifact.

Perhaps above all, Whitaker was deeply committed to the lives of his men, having earned their complete loyalty despite their conflict with the UNSC and sparing no expense in giving them a fighting chance against a vastly superior enemy force.
