==Abilities and Powers==
Halo generated a five-foot-wide, sharp-edged gold hoop that he could move at will, and which could generate forcefields and lasers.<ref>"Halo packs a special ring.  Kind of like Sundancer, but the thing doesn't burn.  It's a hoop with a cutting edge, and it acts as a forcefield generator and spits out lasers." - [[Imago 21.3]]</ref><ref name=":0">As we approached, I found Halo in my reach.  My swarm approached him, and his halo zipped to his side, five feet in diameter and razor-edged.  A force field protected the hero.<br/>
He was still rooted in place.  One less person to deal with. - [[Imago 21.3]]</ref><ref name=":1">Halo.  Sundancer.  A handful of masters with projection powers.  A cape with a giant mask.<br/>
All powers that ''made'' stuff.<br/>
A ring of razor-sharp gold that produced forcefields and lasers.  A miniature sun. Soldiers of stone.  A golden mask.  I had each of them make the individual objects as big as they could get.<br/>
[...]<br/>Then I accessed Vista.  And I made it all bigger.<br/>
I pulled the capes out of the way as the various weapons entered the fray.  The sun was as broad across as a skyscraper was tall, the halo was only twice its usual size, firing a substantially sized laser. - [[Speck 30.5]]</ref> He could use this to fly, but preferred to stay on the ground during combat.<ref>We've got Rosary in a combat mode, and Halo's not in the air, as far as I can see, so they're obviously geared up for a fight. - [[Imago 21.3]]</ref>

His lasers were continuous beams of golden light, and he could generate multiple beams at a time.<ref>Rays of golden light speared into the swarm.  They were persistent, unending, five steady beams that concentrated on areas where the bugs were thickest.  Halo. - [[Imago 21.3]] </ref>

His forcefields were immobile and generated around the ring; in order to protect himself he had to recall it to his side and remain in one place.<ref name=":0"/>

It's possible that he could vary the size of the hoop, but even at its largest and under the influence of [[Vista]]'s power it only reached twice its usual size.<ref name=":1"/>

==History==
===Early [[Worm]]===
He participated in the [[Battle against Leviathan]] and was injured by a tidal wave early in the fight.<ref>Leviathan had more than halved our ranks with the wave.  [...] The Armband spoke.  ''Losses are as follows:  Debaser, Ascendant, Gallant, Zigzag, Prince of Blades, Vitiator, Humble, Halo, Whirlygig, Night, Crusader, Uglymug, Victor, Furrow, Barker, Elegance, Quark, Pelter, Snowflake, Ballistic, Mama Bear, Mister Eminent, Flashbang, Biter…'' - [[Extermination 8.3]]</ref>

===Post-[[Echidna]]===
When two of [[the Fallen]] travelled to Brockton Bay, Halo was one of the two Haven members sent to fight them. The [[Undersiders]] battled both Haven and the Fallen at the same time, but prevailed.<ref name="21.3">[[Imago 21.3]]</ref>

===[[Gold Morning]]===
He was a part of [[Khepri]]'s swarm, and she wielded him against Scion alongside a number of other parahumans that made things, all their creations increased in size using [[Vista]]'s power.<ref name=":1"/>
