Summary[edit]

Halo's Master Chief, as originally designed by Shi Kai Wang. From The Art of Halo.

Fair use rationale[edit]

It is believed that the use of this image, qualifies as fair use in the article Master Chief (Halo) because:

• Bungie has not released any such images into the public domain, nor could a replacement image be created that would adequately provide the same information
• The image resolution has been heavily decreased, so copies made from it would be of inferior quality
• The use of this image neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its salability in any way
• The image is being used for informative purposes only, as it serves to illustrate the appearance of two of the game's main characters
