Nah, turns out Gravemind was female, but born into the wrong body, which makes her stunning, brave, and actually a misunderstood good character that dindu nuffin cuz she was oppressed by the patriarchy. Chief, now an LGBT ally after repenting for being born male, then rescues her from Cortana who is controlled by the patriarchy due to her internalised misogyny.
Plus if Cortana is controlling his body how can MC rescue Cortana when she gets captured by the Gravemind?
