==Summary==
Cortana is one of the main protagonists of the Halo series.
She is the Smart IA created by Doctor Catherine Halsey based on a clone of said doctor. She decides to be assigned to Spartan-117, better known as the Master Chief due to his skill, intelligence and most importantly, his luck. She has shown to be the perfect companion to John, as they were able to defeat the Covenant, Flood and fight the Didact alongside the Prometheans.
After defeating the Didact, Cortana sacrifices her last source of energy to defend Chief. After the destruction of the Mantle's Approach her conscious fell to the Domain, we're she was supposedly cured of her rampancy. She was found by the Warden Eternal in the Forerunner Planet Genesis where he bow to her power and decide to aid her. Cortana decided to unify the Galaxy like the Forerunners once wished, using the AI all over it to command all the Galaxy, creating the alliance known as "the Created".
