Althea (AI Serial Number: ALT 5032-4) is a experimental, fourth-generation Smart AI created for Spartan neurology research and later refined for cyberwarfare functions in support of SPARTAN-III deployments. Wiped thoroughly of memories, her copy-cat personality is a product of the missing identity which she seeks to fill.
Part of Project: LOKIBORN, a 2558 military-corporate research venture backed by the 117 Institute, Althea was developed under some legal ambiguity involving cloned brain-AI conversion. Following the research study, she was handed off to the Office of Naval Intelligence and assigned to Ferret Team Boson at the request of Doctor Reyna Zhou-Romero.
Following extended exposure to Andra-D054, Althea adapted the Spartan's personality, much to the discomfort of her Spartan teammates. This emulation habit also extended to Merlin-D032 during their time together. Having received Andra's steadfast dedication to her friends, the Created agenda disinterests her. Due to the neurology research tied to Project: CHRYSANTHEMUM, Althea is prone to the occasional mood swing though unassociated to symptoms of Rampancy.
