The Weapon was supposed to be automatically deleted once her mission was over, but her deletion protocol failed to activate, leaving her stranded in the ring's foundations.

The Weapon proves to be an invaluable asset to the Master Chief throughout his journey, leaving her disgruntled over his deletion attempt of her and his continuing distrust. Finally, after watching some of Cortana's memories, the Weapon realizes the truth: she's actually an exact copy of Cortana created by Dr. Halsey in order to fool Cortana's security systems so that she could be locked down. Halsey scrubbed any knowledge from the Weapon that could compromise her and the Master Chief refers to the Weapon as essentially being Cortana if he and Cortana had never met. Horrified and worried that she could end up like Cortana, the Weapon begs the Master Chief to delete her, but he refuses, stating that he wants to trust her. As they continue their journey, the Master Chief and the Weapon discover that it was actually Cortana herself who had prevented the Weapon's deletion following Cortana's defeat as the other AI knew that the Master Chief would need the Weapon's help against the Banished and the Harbinger. In a final message to the Master Chief, Cortana urges him and the Weapon to learn from her mistakes and to become stronger from them and she tells the Master Chief that the Weapon has a lot of potential. With the Weapon's help, the Master Chief kills Escharum and the Harbinger, but he fails to stop the Harbinger from contacting someone else about the location of the Endless.

Calling himself "the Didact's Hand," Jul's faction initially seeks the Forerunner warrior Didact as an ally against humanity. The character appears in Karen Traviss' Kilo-5 trilogy of novels, as well as <i><a href="/wiki/Halo_4" title="Halo 4">Halo 4</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Halo_5:_Guardians" title="Halo 5: Guardians">Halo 5: Guardians</a></i>.

However, Jul is shown to have only joined the Servants as they were the best equipped to combat the Arbiter and his forces as Jul did not believe humanity would change and must be stopped while the Arbiter wanted to form a lasting alliance with them. The Servants attempt to defeat the Arbiter ended in catastrophe thanks to the intervention of the UNSC <i>Infinity</i> in the battle. Jul was subsequently captured by the Kilo-Five black ops team and imprisoned on the Forerunner shield world of Onyx. Jul eventually escaped using one of the shield world's slipspace portals and traveled to the Sangheili colony world of Hesduros which had been cut off from the goings-on in the galaxy since before the Covenant civil war. By portraying his experiences on the shield world in a religious light, Jul was able to win over the inhabitants, but learned that his wife had been killed. Grief-stricken and blaming humanity, Jul discovered the coordinates to the shield world of Requiem on Hesduros and began building up a massive following, forming a new Sangheili-led Covenant. Jul's Covenant eventually found Requiem, but were trapped outside for three years as depicted in the <i>Halo 4</i> Terminals because the planet required the presence of a Reclaimer to open. </p><p>In <i>Halo 4</i>, the Master Chief arrives at Requiem in the rear half of the <i>Forward Unto Dawn</i> and comes into conflict with Jul and his forces. The Master Chief's presence causes Requiem to finally open, granting Jul's Covenant access to the planet. Jul eventually leads some of his forces into Requiem's core where the Forerunner known as the Didact is imprisoned. The Didact is able to trick the Master Chief into releasing him and Jul bows down before him. Despite the core's subsequent collapse, Jul manages to escape with his life and allies himself with the Didact against the humans from the <i>Infinity</i>. Jul's alliance with the Didact leaves him with the ability to command the Didact's Promethean soldiers even after the Didact's own defeat. Subsequent to this, Jul brands himself "the Didact's Hand" with his status and ability to control the Prometheans giving him even more power and attracting more followers to his cause. </p><p>In <i>Spartan Ops</i>, six months after the Battle of Requiem, the <i>Infinity</i> returns to Requiem which is still occupied by Jul and his Covenant. The forces of the <i>Infinity</i> and Jul's forces battle each other for control over the planet while Jul personally leads the attempt to access the <a href="#Librarian">Librarian</a>'s AI which Jul wants to use for the power that the Librarian can give to him. In <i>Halo: Escalation</i>, Jul and Halsey work together while Jul faces a mutiny inside of his own forces. Their mission to access the Absolute Record of Forerunner installations, however, fails. </p><p>In <i><a href="/wiki/Halo_5:_Guardians" title="Halo 5: Guardians">Halo 5: Guardians</a></i>, Jul's power has begun to break following all of his defeats and his Prometheans turning against him under the influence of <a href="/wiki/Cortana_(Halo)" title="Cortana (Halo)">Cortana</a>. On the remote world of Kamchatka, Jul attempts to access the Forerunner Domain with the help of Halsey while his loyal forces battle the Prometheans. However, Jul is unaware that Halsey has betrayed his location to the UNSC due to the threat Cortana poses. He is killed by Spartan Jameson Locke in single combat and Jul's Covenant falls apart soon thereafter. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Legacy of Onyx</i>, Jul's two sons are left on the opposing sides of an ongoing conflict on the Onyx shield world. Dural, now the leader of the Servants of the Abiding Truth, believes the Covenant to truly be gone with the death of his father and the destruction of his faction despite the existence of other ex-Covenant splinter factions in the galaxy. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Nizat_'Kvarosee"><span id="Nizat_.27Kvarosee"></span>Nizat 'Kvarosee</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Halo_characters&action=edit&section=33" title="Edit section: Nizat 'Kvarosee"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Nizat 'Kvarosee is a former Covenant Fleetmaster appearing in <i>Halo: Silent Storm</i>, <i>Halo: Oblivion</i> and <i>Halo: Outcasts</i>. Cunning and intelligent, Nizat was one of humanity's first Covenant enemies before going rogue in his efforts to destroy humanity. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Silent Storm</i>, taking place near the start of the war between humanity and the Covenant, Nizat is the Fleetmaster of the Covenant Fleet of Inexorable Obedience. In this role, Nizat destroys a number of human colonies and clashes with the Spartans under the leadership of John-117 during Operation: SILENT STORM where the Spartans try to buy humanity time to adapt to their new enemy by striking at the Covenant behind enemy lines using board-and-destroy tactics. Human insurrectionists, hoping to use the Covenant to destroy the UNSC, provide Nizat and his forces with information on the Spartans, their armor, and their tactics, allowing Nizat to adapt his own strategies to match. Despite this, the UNSC successfully launches a massive attack on the Covenant world of Zhoist, destroying two cities, an important fleet support station, kill the special forces sent after them and decimates Nizat's fleet. Throughout these events, Nizat grows more and more annoyed with the Minor Minister of Artifact Survey who is assigned to oversee his fleet, but Survey acts more and more irrational as time goes on, causing Nizat to consider killing him several times despite the almost certain death sentence that it would bring upon himself. After the Battle of Zhoist, Nizat's steward Tam 'Lakosee kills Survey for his irrational and disrespectful behavior, but Nizat decides to cover it up in order to protect his subordinate. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Oblivion</i>, taking place a few months after <i>Halo: Silent Storm</i>, Nizat has gone rogue from the Covenant following the decimation of his fleet by the Spartans. Recalled to High Charity by the Prophets, Nizat had insisted that ONI is the true danger and they needed to target and destroy it, but he is blamed for the losses suffered by the Covenant and sentenced to execution, forcing Nizat to flee with his loyal followers. Assembling a small fleet, Nizat enacts an elaborate plan to plant a beacon on ONI that will lead his forces to it for destruction by using a Covenant frigate as bait on the barely inhabitable world of Netherop, the site of one of the earliest skirmishes in Operation: SILENT STORM. Already a strong believer in the Covenant religion, Nizat becomes more and more fanatical as he seeks to make up for his failures in the eyes of the Covenants "gods", the Forerunners. Nizat successfully lures the Spartans to Netherop and plants the beacon on a corpse that they take back for study, evading detection as the true mastermind of the plot. However, the Covenant retaliates for Nizat's actions, decimating his fleet and exiling Nizat on Netherop alongside his surviving ground forces, creating an orbital mine shell in order to prevent anyone from ever coming back to the planet again, especially any of Nizat's surviving commanders looking to rescue him. Lieutenant Commander Amalea Petrov and several other UNSC soldiers are stranded as well, but Nizat remains certain that his surviving forces will carry out his plan in Nizat's absence. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Outcasts</i>, the UNSC returns to Netherop alongside the Swords of Sanghelios in search of a weapon capable of destroying Cortana's Guardians. After dismantling the orbital mine shell, the Arbiter discovers that Nizat and Petrov are both still alive and waging war against each other thirty-three years after they were stranded on the planet. The decades-long conflict has reduced Nizat's forces to only himself and six others while the humans' numbers have only grown as they had children and families over the decades that have passed. However, Nizat has control of the weapon that both sides seek, dubbed the Divine Hand, which proves to be a Precursor weapon used by Precursor fugitives during the war of extermination that the Forerunners had waged against their creators. A side effect of using the weapon was the transformation of Netherop from a lush world into a barren wasteland. Four of Nizat's soldiers are killed by Spartan Olympia Vale and the Sangheili while another one defects and Nizat and Tam are captured. With Nizat and Tam proving to be fanatical beyond reason, Nizat in particular, the Arbiter decides to maroon them once again on Netherop when the UNSC forces, now including a rescued Petrov and her people, and the Swords of Sanghelios leave. Already severely wounded and weakened, Nizat develops an infection and he and Tam are left facing an inevitable death from infection, starvation and dehydration. So as to spare his friend from that fate, Tam chooses to mercy kill Nizat with his energy sword. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Banished">Banished</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Halo_characters&action=edit&section=34" title="Edit section: Banished"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Atriox">Atriox</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Halo_characters&action=edit&section=35" title="Edit section: Atriox"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444"><table class="box-More_citations_needed plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Refimprove" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Question_book-new.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="39" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/75px-Question_book-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/100px-Question_book-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="399" /></a></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>needs additional citations for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verification</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please help <a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/List_of_Halo_characters" title="Special:EditPage/List of Halo characters">improve this article</a> by <a href="/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners" title="Help:Referencing for beginners">adding citations to reliable sources</a> in this section.

Having fought for the Covenant during the Human-Covenant War, Atriox grew disgruntled with the alien empire as his Brute brothers were carelessly used as cannon fodder by their Elite masters, a species who had a feuding rivalry with them due to the Brute's strength and aggression challenging their superior status. He also appears in the <a href="/wiki/Halo_(TV_series)" title="Halo (TV series)"><i>Halo</i> TV series</a> as a member of the Covenant. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Rise of Atriox</i>, he is shown as a Covenant soldier fighting against the UNSC Marines during the war. Atriox chases down a Marine and expresses to him how meaningless he finds the war against the human species to be as his brothers die. With no hatred for humanity,<sup id="cite_ref-56" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Atriox quickly kills the Marine to complete his mission. Another Brute then reveals that he was spying on Atriox and declares him a heretic for renouncing the Covenant, resulting in Atriox killing him too. Having murdered one of his own and spoken against the Covenant religion, Atriox is sent to be executed by his Elite superiors. Atriox rebels against his punishment, killing the Elite executioner, inspiring a Brute named Decimus and others to overthrow the other Elites in the area. Atriox forms the Banished with them, and leaves the Covenant. </p><p>Atriox is shown recruiting more members to the Banished in <i>Hunting Party</i> from <i>Halo: Tales From Slipspace</i>. He is willing to hire from all species, including Elites and humans.<sup id="cite_ref-SpartanFieldManual_57-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SpartanFieldManual-57"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Following the Great Schism, a civil war that tore the Covenant apart, a squad of Elite assassins known as the Silent Shadow embarked on a genocidal campaign against the Brutes for revenge. The Silent Shadow squad kills the Brute crew on Atriox's ship until they encounter him. Atriox tells the Elites that he and his Brutes were not responsible for the Great Schism and that they also hate the Covenant. The leader of the squad still expresses hatred to Atriox for being a Brute, to which Atriox responds that "vengeance is petty" and that "vengeance has no reward". The Silent Shadow squad reluctantly kill their leader, and join the Banished as mercenaries. </p><p><i>Halo: The Official Spartan Field Manual</i> further details Atriox's openness to recruiting humans, as well as how his Brutes Chieftains have spread their influence into Brute colonies as well as human criminal enterprises.<sup id="cite_ref-SpartanFieldManual_57-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SpartanFieldManual-57"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In <i>Halo: Divine Wind</i>, several Banished humans are mentioned to have accompanied Atriox on his voyage to the Forerunner world known as the Ark.<sup id="cite_ref-58" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-58"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>58<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In <i><a href="/wiki/Halo_Wars_2" title="Halo Wars 2">Halo Wars 2</a></i>, Atriox, who had taken over the Ark, reveals himself to Spartan-II Red Team of the UNSC Ship <i>Spirit of Fire</i> who had just arrived. Atriox attacks the Spartans and lets them escape, sending his Banished forces to chase after them. A prolonged battle for territory ensues between the crew of the <i>Spirit of Fire</i> and Atriox's forces. Having lost Decimus and his flagship in the battle, Atriox expresses respect to his enemy for their tenacity, and offers them a chance to leave peacefully rather than be hunted down. Captain Cutter of the <i>Spirit of Fire</i> refuses and successfully captures a Halo ring, recently created by the Ark, from the Banished. Atriox later orders two brutes, Pavium and Voridus, to lead some of his forces to plunder resources from the ruins of the former Covenant capital, High Charity, and warns them not to go inside. Voridus ignores Atriox's orders and accidentally unleashes the Flood upon the Ark once more. An enraged Atriox confronts them about their actions, having had to divert significant forces from his battle with the UNSC to contain the Flood. After Pavium and Voridus destroy a Proto-Gravemind, Atriox arrives at their location. Atriox kills a surviving Flood infection form and orders his two subordinates to clean up their mess and help the Ark's defenses to finish containing the Flood and departs the area. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Shadows of Reach</i>, Atriox manages to make contact with his forces in the Milky Way, instructing them to find a Forerunner slipspace portal on the former human colony of Reach. After the portal is activated by the Keepers of the One Freedom – another former Covenant faction allied with the Banished – with the help of their human acolytes, Atriox is able to use the shards of the Forerunner crystal recovered in <i><a href="/wiki/Halo:_First_Strike" title="Halo: First Strike">Halo: First Strike</a></i> to connect the portal to the Ark and fly through it to Reach in a Banished Lich. Rather than using the portal to bring more reinforcements back to the Ark, Atriox departs to attend to a greater purpose, leaving behind his troops on the Ark to hold it in his absence. The fanatically religious Keepers steal Atriox's Lich to travel to the Ark and fire the Halos while Veta Lopis – undercover amongst the Keepers – passes a warning to the UNSC that Atriox has returned. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Outcasts</i>, Atriox seeks a weapon on Netherop that he had learned about on the Ark capable of destroying Cortana's Guardians. Atriox races the UNSC, the Swords of Sanghelios and the Created to the weapon. Deeming the weapon to be too dangerous for either of their people to ever use, the Arbiter and Olympia Vale feign surrender and hand it over to Atriox in the hopes that the Banished will destroy themselves with it if they can figure out how to get it working. </p><p>In <i><a href="/wiki/Halo_Infinite" title="Halo Infinite">Halo Infinite</a></i>, Atriox faces the Master Chief in battle on board the UNSC <i>Infinity</i> and defeats him, ultimately throwing the Spartan off of the ship. When the Master Chief is rescued six months later, he discovers that Atriox and his forces have destroyed the <i>Infinity</i> and nearly wiped out all of the UNSC forces on Installation 07. However, Atriox himself is believed to be dead, having apparently been killed when Cortana destroyed a section of the ring in order to stop him from using it. Through echoes of Cortana's memories, the Master Chief learns that the AI had approached Atriox as a representative of his species and destroyed his homeworld when he refused to surrender to her, provoking the Banished leader to seek out a UNSC AI known as the Weapon in order to defeat Cortana. After seeing the consequences of her actions, Cortana sacrificed herself to make things right by stopping the remorseless Atriox. However, Atriox is revealed to have secretly survived and he locates the Endless, a threat imprisoned by the Forerunners long ago on the ring. </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/Halo_(TV_series)" title="Halo (TV series)"><i>Halo</i> TV series</a>, a Brute highly speculated by fans to be Atriox and referred to as such by series creator David J.

By following Blue Team, Castor and the Keepers of the One Freedom are successfully able to locate the slipspace portal and open it, allowing Atriox to return in a Banished Lich with several of his top warriors. Escharum is outraged by Castor's hijacking of the Lich, but on Atriox's instruction, he departs with his men deeper into the Forerunner installation, allowing Castor and his men to depart in Atriox's ship. As a Guardian approaches, drawn by the activation of the slipspace portal, Escharum's intrusion corvette extracts Escharum, Atriox and his men and they flee from Reach to attend to a greater purpose of some kind. </p><p>In <i><a href="/wiki/Halo_Infinite" title="Halo Infinite">Halo Infinite</a></i>, six months after the defeat of the UNSC at Installation 07, Escharum is now the leader of the Banished following Atriox's apparent death at Cortana's hands. Working with a mysterious being known as the Harbinger, Escharum seeks to release the Endless from their millennia-long imprisonment by the Forerunners on the Halo ring with the Harbinger in return agreeing to help the Banished repair and fire the ring. Unlike the rest of the Banished, Escharum is overjoyed by the Master Chief's survival as it leaves him feeling invigorated with the challenge. Appearing to the Master Chief in the form of holographic transmissions throughout his journey, Escharum introduces himself and taunts the Master Chief, challenging him to a final fight between the Spartan and the old War Chief which Escharum calls "a true test of legends." In secret, Escharum is revealed to be terminally ill and dying and he orders his friend Jega 'Rdomnai to bring the Master Chief to him after 'Rdomnai worriedly notes that Escharum's illness is getting worse. By kidnapping the pilot of <i>Echo 216</i>, 'Rdomnai lures the Master Chief to Escharum's base where the Master Chief kills 'Rdomnai and engages in a final battle with Escharum, mortally wounding him. Dying, Escharum proclaims that his passing will only inspire others and he requests that the Master Chief tell the Banished that he had died well. The Master Chief holds Escharum as passes away, surprising the pilot with the respect that he gave to Escharum in his final moments as Escharum was a monster. The Master Chief states that while Escharum was a monster, in the end, he was also a soldier, questioning his choices and hoping that he did the right thing. While the pilot thinks that the death of Escharum means that it is over since he was the leader of the Banished, the Master Chief warns him that it s not and that there will be consequences as there always are. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Keepers_of_the_One_Freedom">Keepers of the One Freedom</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Halo_characters&action=edit&section=37" title="Edit section: Keepers of the One Freedom"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Castor">Castor</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Halo_characters&action=edit&section=38" title="Edit section: Castor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A high-ranking Brute appearing in the novels <i>Halo: Last Light</i>, <i>Halo: Retribution</i>, <i>Halo: Silent Storm</i>, <i>Halo: Shadows of Reach</i> and <i>Halo: Divine Wind</i>.

During a battle on a Covenant space station, Castor and Orsun are delayed in joining the comrades against the Master Chief, Kelly, Linda and Fred and only arrive in time to find them all slaughtered by the Spartans.

Since the events on Gao, Castor has been communicating with a "Holy Oracle" – in actuality the Forerunner AI Intrepid Eye who was recovered from Gao by the UNSC – who directed him to build a base on a former Forerunner outpost world while at the same time framing Castor and the Keepers for her own purposes. Intrepid Eye's machinations leads Blue Team and the Ferrets – a special investigations unit of ONI made up mainly of Spartan-III's – to Castor's base where they recover the planted bodies of the Admiral's family and destroy the base and ninety percent of the Keeper forces in the sector with nuclear weapons. Enraged, Castor chases Intrepid Eye's men to the Outer Colony of Meridian where Orsun is killed by one of Intrepid Eye's men with a rocket launcher much to Castor's grief. Castor's forces, Blue Team and the Ferrets eventually foil Intrepid Eye's <a href="/wiki/Biological_weapon" class="mw-redirect" title="Biological weapon">biological weapon</a> plot, but Castor is left stranded on Meridian with a broken translator and searching for a way off of the moon. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Shadows of Reach</i>, Castor and the Keepers are now allied with the Banished along with two other factions of Brutes – the Legion of the Corpse-Moon and the Ravaged Tusks. Castor and his forces are enlisted by Banished War Chief Escharum to help find a Forerunner slipspace portal on the former human colony of Reach that can be used to connect to the Ark and send reinforcements to Atriox. By this point, Castor is aware that the "Oracle" is really Intrepid Eye, but has been out of contact with her for a year and still believes in her guidance regardless. As a result, Castor considers his four-human acolytes to be a gift from the Oracle, unaware that they are actually Veta Lopis and her Ferret team working deep undercover in the Keepers of the One Freedom. By following Blue Team when they arrive on the planet, Castor and his forces manage to locate and open the slipspace portal, allowing Atriox and several of his top warriors to return to the Milky Way in a Banished Lich. Castor and the Keepers then hijack the Lich and fly it to the Ark, intending to use the Ark to fire the Halo rings and begin the Great Journey while Atriox remains behind to pursue a greater purpose of some kind with his forces in the Milky Way rather than returning to the Ark with reinforcements. Castor ignores Atriox's warnings about the thousands of Banished forces remaining on the Ark and convinces Inslaan 'Gadogai, an Elite from the Banished that had accompanied him throughout the book, to join the Keepers' mission. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Divine Wind</i>, Castor and his forces ally with a faction of surviving Covenant soldiers that were stranded on the Ark by the Covenant's defeat years before and Intrepid Eye who seeks to fire the Halo Array in order to destroy the Domain and weaken Cortana. It is revealed that in the years since he was stranded on Meridian, Castor has lost most of his forces due to an eradication campaign conducted by ONI thanks to the undercover efforts of the Ferrets, leaving only the Keepers accompanying Castor to the Ark. Castor is opposed by the Ferrets, forces from the UNSC <i>Spirit of Fire</i> and Banished forces under the command of Pavium and Voridus. Although the Keepers and the Covenant succeed in reaching a control facility where Halo can be fired, they suffer heavy losses in the process. Castor finally learns the truth about Halo and the Great Journey from an argument between Intrepid Eye and a Forerunner submonitor, shattering his faith. Castor flees with 'Gadogai as the <i>Spirit of Fire</i> destroys the facility and Intrepid Eye with orbital <a href="/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse" title="Electromagnetic pulse">EMP</a> rounds. Now the last survivors of the Keepers of the One Freedom, Castor and 'Gadogai set out to seek vengeance upon all of their enemies. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Forerunner">Forerunner</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Halo_characters&action=edit&section=39" title="Edit section: Forerunner"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="343_Guilty_Spark">343 Guilty Spark</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Halo_characters&action=edit&section=40" title="Edit section: 343 Guilty Spark"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/343_Guilty_Spark" title="343 Guilty Spark">343 Guilty Spark</a></div> <p>343 Guilty Spark (or Guilty Spark or just Spark) (voiced by <a href="/wiki/Tim_Dadabo" title="Tim Dadabo">Tim Dadabo</a>) is a <a href="/wiki/Robot" title="Robot">robot</a> who appears in the original <i>Halo</i> trilogy.

The Didact developed a deep animosity towards humanity after fighting a war with them that cost him many soldiers, including his own children. The Didact disagrees with the plan to build the Halo Array to fight the Flood, instead proposing a system of "shield worlds" that is ultimately rejected. Going into exile in a kind of stasis within a device known as a Cryptum, he is later awoken by the Forerunner Bornstellar with the help of humans Chakas and Riser, all guided by the Librarian. The Didact imprints his consciousness on Bornstellar, who then becomes the Iso-Didact; when the Ur-Didact is presumed dead after being captured by the Master Builder, Bornstellar assumes the Didact's military role. Unknown to most, the Ur-Didact was actually abandoned in a Flood-infested system where he was captured and tortured by the Gravemind. Though he survived, the Ur-Didact's sanity was severely shaken by this encounter. Spurred to more drastic measures in an effort to stop the Flood, he forcibly composed innocent humans and turned them into mechanical soldiers. Horrified, the Librarian incapacitated the Didact and placed him in a Cryptum on his shield world Requiem, hoping that meditation and long exposure to the Domain would amend his motives and heal his damaged psyche. However, the activation of the Halos severed the Didact from the Domain, and he spent the next 100 millennia alone, with only his own rage and madness to keep him company. </p><p>During the events of <i>Halo 4</i>, the Ur-Didact is accidentally released from his Cryptum by the Master Chief and Cortana. He immediately retakes control of the Prometheans and attempts to digitize the population of Earth, but is stopped by Cortana and Master Chief who is made immune to the Composer by an imprint of the Librarian on Requiem. The comic series <i>Escalation</i> reveals the Didact survived this encounter, but the Spartans of Blue Team stop his plans once again. He is apparently digitized by the Master Chief using several Composers, but the Master Chief considers him contained, not dead. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Renegades</i>, 343 Guilty Spark, formerly Bornstellar's human companion Chakas who once helped release the Ur-Didact from his Cryptum, learns from the Librarian of the Ur-Didact's release from his Cryptum on Requiem. From the Librarian's reaction to his questions, Spark realizes that the Ur-Didact's threat is currently "not worrisome," and that the Librarian still hopes for her husband to find peace. However, the Librarian sadly admits that she believes the Ur-Didact to be beyond redemption. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Epitaph</i>, it's revealed that the Didact had been killed when the Master Chief had used the Composers on him, and he was uploaded to the outer boundaries of the Domain. The Didact discovers that being digitized has burned away the Gravemind's corruption and restored his sanity. Now remorseful for his actions, the Didact reunites with a number of old friends and enemies who have been trapped outside of the Domain by the Warden Eternal. The Didact witnesses Cortana's corruption of the Warden and seeks to stop the rogue AI, even secretly helping to rescue Blue Team during the events of <i>Halo 5</i>. The Didact eventually manages to destroy the Warden Eternal and allows everyone into the Domain, both human and Forerunner, including the victims of his attack on Earth. This strengthens the Domain, enabling it to evict the Created and the Didact has all access in the physical world sealed off in order to prevent anyone else from abusing its power. During a final confrontation with Cortana shortly before her destruction, the Didact helps the AI to realize what she has become. Afterwards, having finally found peace, the Didact is at last reunited with the Librarian in the halls of the Domain to spend the rest of eternity with his beloved wife. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Librarian">Librarian</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Halo_characters&action=edit&section=43" title="Edit section: Librarian"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Librarian (voiced by Lori Tritel) is a highly ranked Forerunner who is married to the Didact. The Librarian spares humanity from extinction after their war with the Forerunners. She convinces the Forerunner council to use the Halos as preserves for fauna in addition to weapons and manipulates the humans Chakas and Riser as well as the young Forerunner Bornstellar into rescuing her husband from his Cryptum on Earth. She ultimately incapacitates and imprisons the Ur-Didact to stop his plans. While she is presumed to have died when the Halo Array was fired, she uploaded various copies of her personality to aid humanity in assuming the Forerunner's Mantle of Responsibility. </p><p>In <i>Halo 4</i>, the Master Chief encounters one such copy on Requiem where the Librarian explains some of the history of the Didact, the war between the humans and the Forerunners as well as the Composer. The Librarian reveals that the Master Chief is "the culmination of a thousand lifetimes of planning," the Librarian having guided humanity through their genetic code to reach the eventuality that became the Master Chief. However, the Librarian is unable to explain what she was planning for before they are interrupted by the Didact. At the Librarian's urging, the Master Chief permits her to accelerate his evolution in order to grant the Master Chief an immunity to the Composer, allowing the Master Chief to survive the Didact's later firing of the weapon. In <i>Spartan Ops</i>, taking place six months later, both the UNSC and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant splinter faction search Requiem for this copy of the Librarian. Dr. Catherine Halsey manages to access a shrine containing the Librarian who provides Halsey with the Janus Key and directs her to find the Absolute Record. The Librarian helps Fireteam Crimson track Halsey's signal in an effort to rescue Halsey from 'Mdama and Crimson helps the Librarian transmit herself to the Absolute Record. She later appears there in <i>Halo: Escalation</i>. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Primordium</i>, 343 Guilty Spark, once the human Chakas, claims to know where to find the Librarian, suggesting that she has survived. Rescued from an isolated planet by the crew of the salvage ship <i>Ace of Spades</i> in <i>Halo: Renegades</i>, Spark continues his search for the Librarian, which is ultimately revealed to be a search for another of her copies, not the Librarian herself. In a Forerunner structure on Earth beneath <a href="/wiki/Mount_Kilimanjaro" title="Mount Kilimanjaro">Mount Kilimanjaro</a>, Spark attempts to get the Librarian to help him bring back his friends from when he was human or to join them in the Domain, but the Librarian helps Spark see the folly of his plan. Instead, the Librarian helps Spark recognize the friends he has made amongst the <i>Ace of Spades</i> crew. Though the Librarian offers Spark the chance to join her in joining the rest of her copies at the Absolute Record, he decides to remain behind with his friends. The Librarian provides Spark with a coordinate key to "the safe place" and orders him to "find what's missing. Fix the path. Right what my kind has turned wrong." Before departing, the Librarian seemingly communicates with each member of the crew, telling Captain Rion Forge in particular to look after Spark who is more fragile and important than she could ever know and who might still have a role to play in events to come. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Point of Light</i>, Spark and Rion Forge search for the mythical Forerunner planet of Bastion using the coordinate key that the Librarian had provided to Spark. Bastion proves to be a Forerunner shield world taking on a form identical to the surface of the Earth that had acted as the Librarian's secret laboratory out of reach of the Forerunner Council. Spark helps another Forerunner Keeper-of-Tools whose mind is uploaded into a Monitor body to launch a ship called <i>Eden</i> before Spark takes over duty as the caretaker of Bastion. Due to the threat of Cortana and her Guardians, Spark moves Bastion to keep it and the Librarian's research into a number of topics out of reach of enemies. The Librarian appears to Rion through visions several times, eventually revealing that she had discovered remnants of the Precursors – the extinct race that had created the Forerunners and the Flood – on her trip to another galaxy and secretly nurtured them on Bastion to ensure the rebirth of the race with a fresh start on a new world outside of the Milky Way, the mission of the <i>Eden</i>. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Epitaph</i>, the Didact, his sanity having been restored from being digitized by the Master Chief, learns that the Librarian was uploaded directly to the Domain upon her death because of her contributions to Living Time unlike the other Forerunners who had died when Halo was fired and were trapped in the outer boundaries of the Domain. Now remorseful for his actions, the Didact works to stop the Created and reopen the Domain for everyone. At one point, the Librarian seemingly rescues the Didact after he's trapped in his worst memories by Cortana and he sees a brief vision of her across the rivers of Living Time, but the Didact sorrowfully acknowledges that the Librarian may never show herself to him and it's nothing that he doesn't deserve after all that the Didact has done. After finally finding peace, the Didact is at last reunited with his beloved wife in the halls of the Domain in a recreation of their home, at last able to spend eternity together. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Intrepid_Eye">Intrepid Eye</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Halo_characters&action=edit&section=44" title="Edit section: Intrepid Eye"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A Forerunner archeon-class ancilla who appears in <i>Halo: Last Light</i>, <i>Halo: Retribution</i>, and <i>Halo: Divine Wind</i>. An extremely powerful AI that was originally the overseer of a Forerunner support base on Gao, Intrepid Eye undertakes a series of plots to prepare humanity for the Mantle of Responsibility, plots that usually have dire consequences for those involved. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Last Light</i>, having been awakened by the recent partial glassing of a nearby planet which had Forerunner ruins on it, Intrepid Eye begins killing humans who enter the caverns on Gao where her base is, becoming a serial killer that's investigated by Gao inspector Veta Lopis. Intrepid Eye is eventually identified as the true culprit, but she manages to evade capture on multiple occasions, destroying Fred-104's AI companion Wendell and taking over Fred's armor at one point. Intrepid Eye is finally subdued and captured when Lopis disables Fred's armor and her base is destroyed, but she is content to simply bide her time. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Retribution</i>, Intrepid Eye is imprisoned on the ONI space station <i>Argent Moon</i> where she has managed to slip a number of remote aspects of herself, manifesting as lesser AIs loyal to Intrepid Eye's cause, out to do her work. Through her remote aspects, Intrepid Eye has created the rogue corporation Dark Moon Enterprises that had previously targeted Lopis' Ferret team and has manipulated Castor and the Keepers of the One Freedom while blackmailing Lieutenant Bartalan Craddog into doing her bidding. As part of her plans, Intrepid Eye uses her agents to cultivate a deadly disease into a <a href="/wiki/Biological_weapon" class="mw-redirect" title="Biological weapon">biological weapon</a>, but when they kill a UNSC admiral and abduct her family due to their immunity to the disease, the Ferrets and Blue Team are sent to hunt down the killers. The operation results in the destruction of a major Keepers' base, two of Intrepid Eye's remote aspects and the bioweapon samples. However, the plot is pinned on Craddog while Intrepid Eye evades detection as the true mastermind of the plot. Undeterred, Intrepid Eye simply manipulates the final report so that the bioweapon experiments are moved to <i>Argent Moon</i> and secretly given an unlimited black budget. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Renegades</i>, it's mentioned that ONI has learned from their mistakes with dealing with Intrepid Eye, suggesting that she has since been exposed. In <i>Halo: Shadows of Reach</i>, it's mentioned that Castor hasn't heard from her in over a year. </p><p>In <i>Halo: Divine Wind</i>, Intrepid Eye reveals herself after the Keepers of the One Freedom reach the Ark and make contact with a surviving faction of Covenant soldiers. It's revealed that Intrepid Eye's actions were eventually discovered by ONI who used millions of dumb AI hunter-killer teams that eventually overwhelmed even Intrepid Eye's prodigious capabilities, destroyed her network and completely isolated the ancilla aboard <i>Argent Moon</i>. The bioweapon experiments that Intrepid Eye had started eventually resulted in the disease getting out and killing the personnel aboard <i>Argent Moon</i>. Intrepid Eye was believed to have been destroyed along with <i>Argent Moon</i> when it was blown up by Blue Team in <i><a href="/wiki/Halo_5:_Guardians" title="Halo 5: Guardians">Halo 5: Guardians</a></i>, but in actuality, Intrepid Eye had barely managed to escape by attaching herself to Blue Team's Prowler. Faced with the threat of Cortana and the Created, Intrepid Eye plots to fire the Halo rings, which will destroy the Domain and render Cortana vulnerable, and then reseed the galaxy using the Ark's resources and tailor humanity's genetic lineage to guarantee Mantle-worthiness, something that could take hundreds of millennia to accomplish. However, the Keeper-Covenant alliance comes under attack from Banished and UNSC forces, decimating their numbers. The truth about Halo is exposed to Castor in the process, causing him to desert Intrepid Eye. After the ancilla transfers herself into the only facility on the Ark currently capable of firing the Halo rings, the <i>Spirit of Fire</i> fires upon it with <a href="/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse" title="Electromagnetic pulse">EMP</a> rounds too powerful for even Intrepid Eye to survive.
