Farley Wakes was a General of the Marine Corps. He was the father of ONI Lieutenant Carl Wakes.

After the Human-Covenant War, General Wakes was given command of five Marine battalions stationed on Sangheilios while UNSC diplomatic officers arrived to discuss the possibility of a UNSC-Sangheili truce. However, the Marines under his command came under stiff resistance from hateful Sangheili, accounting for hundreds of human deaths within several months. Wakes urged the UNSC ambassador, Pressley, for more reinforcements against this terrorism, but Pressley refused. Instead, FLEETCOM Sydney ordered two frigates to Sangheilios, the UNSC Glorious and the Memory of Harvest, who withdrew most of the Marine garrison under Wakes's command, leaving only a single Marine company, Zulu Company, for the protection of the embassy.
