Jefferson Korn

Jefferson Korn ( 44319-22478-JK), also known as "Jeffery" and "O Limo," is a disavowed officer, former Assembly agent, and United Forces Chairman of the neo- faction Far Harvest Legion. He is partners with the Kathy and a father figure to the rogue Spartan-III commando, Daniele-D003.
Korn grew up on , a inhospitable human colony terrorized by corruption and a reversed-terraforming cataclysm putting an end to rainfall. A child-laborer in Alerian mines, he never expected to escape his desert hellscape but found salvation in agents from the who rescued him. His strong will opened doors to the Earth Patuxent River Academy of Military Science, the , and then the . His skills as a prowler pilot and weapons controller eventually found him a part of the secretive under Jazmine Utah during the decisive where he saved Utah and the crew of the ONI prowler Yukikaze from dissolvement.
For saving Utah, Korn won favor with the promoted-but-stalled Rear Admiral and received invitation into the illegal continuity of the for Delta Company. As a staff officer, he doubled duty as a mentor for Spartans-to-be Team Boson and Team Entropy along with work in the criminal underworld as a financier and logistician for the supersoldier project. His work however hastened the discovery of the Delta Company coup forcing Korn to go to ground in Rio de Janeiro's Low Benefaction alien refugee district. After learning of machinations to assemble in through his AI partner, Korn concocted a plan to assemble criminal and rogue military elements and steal back his Delta Company logistics vessel, the Bewitched Paragon.
During the , Korn and his fledgling Far Harvest Legion dug-in deep on the edges of human space looking for technology crypts to equalize their fighting chances with the Created forces and their pursuers from the old UNSC Frontier Command. Korn's current edges include possession of -augmented warships and access to the Silent Garden which he hopes one day will facilitate his vanquishing of all his enemies, now and into the future.

"I created Jefferson Mudd Korn as a gag character in a long line of one-offs during my time trying to get into writing full-breadth, original characters in the Halo Fanon sandbox. I was just starting work with the project for Spartan-III Delta Company and needed a military officer to staff the Spartans while acting as a mentor and surrogate father figure. Unfortunately, I had the circumstance of watching Bladerunner 2049 and discovering how mud cookies are made that led to Korn's unfortunate and randomly-derived name, originating from random initials "J.K." or "Just Kidding."
Officer K of 2049, played by actor Ryan Gosling, gave a performance that inspired me and I felt compelled to use some parts of his likeness and story for Korn as the name evolved from a joke, to a cruel naming convention about poor living conditions and mud cookies. However, I quickly shed this interpretation of the character as he began to develop and expand in his role while participating in two collaborations, the RP: Jaeter's Redemption and the VadumVerse. Korn went from a weird name to a borderline-scummy but effective rogue ONI intelligence officer messing around with strangers on the frontier while propelling agendas for unseen criminal factions. I eventually adapted Korn's stranger qualities to reflect a more down-to-earth origin and reinforce the controversial cycle of using child-soldiers in the Halo universe as I gave Korn the origin of a orphan and child-laborer on the poorest canonical colony in human space and the Halo universe, Aleria. The name Mudd Korn is now a self-deprecating joke from Korn's birthplace where it never rains and nothing grows. The desert where people mix dirt with fat unfortunately believing that it will forestall starvation in times of desperation.
From this horrifying origins, Korn was picked up by ONI personnel at some point in his youth and luckily given a new life but not one any more moral than the one he left. Instead, he became a military officer for a Orwellian surveillance state but such is the matters of the extended fiction and setting. One of the things I noted while developing my cast of characters is that many lack a sense of dreams or aspirations. The Spartans got theirs, becoming superheroes. The rest of the people just wanted to survive long enough to dodge extinction and to find peace or salvation. But Korn is different in this respect, he didn't start with much and he didn't have many aspirations of his own but as time went on he became more relevant to my stories at large. He became the motivation and source for breaking my Spartan family unit apart. He achieved some of the greatest feats among my storied characters with a little bit of planning and luck. He leads one of the most dangerous human factions in the Created era because I got inspiration of arming ordinary humans with the wonders of weapons and technology developed by very ancient aliens. A paralleled development inspired in part by the rise of the Laconian Empire of the penname James S.A. Corey's Expanse franchise.
Korn's new force, the Far Harvest Legion, is something of a short-sighted organization without clear goals or motivations outside of continued survival and self-determination. However, Korn's success also opens the door to true visions because I believe leader characters need some larger-than-life aspirations to truly pursue success and outlandish growth. Inspired by the Larry Niven's Known Space universe and its Fleet of Worlds subset, I found an idea to introduce another fleet of worlds within the Halo Universe. With Korn at the head of a human naval force augmented by Forerunner technological miracles, finding his way into the possession of mobile planetoid-like battle- and world-stations used by the Forerunner empire in their own heyday.
Korn comes from conflicting and confusing origins, but also humble ones. To see his characterization and relevance get this far is a random but impressive miracle and easily one of the most interesting characters I have in my Halo Fanon sandbox I believe." -
