Requiem, the primary fortress world of the Prometheans.įor thousands of years, the fortified shield world Requiem served as the main command center of the Prometheans. Īn example of an Armiger is the Promethean Soldier. The Didact used them during the Human-Forerunner war to raid human ships and after his exile they were used by the Forerunner Ecumene to combat the Flood and guard various Forerunner sites after the firing of the Halo Array. They are bipedal combat platforms that are skilled in the raiding of spacecraft and close quarter combat. Unlike Promethean Knights, Armigers aren't created from composed Prometheans or humans and are instead advanced Artificial intelligence constructs. Various Promethean units, including Knights and Watchers, have distinct heads embedded in their mechanical carapaces, complete with stylized facial features this feature was shared by the War sphinx used by the original Prometheans. Visually, unlike most Forerunner technology which is chiefly angular and geometric, these Promethean units have a more curved, almost biomechanical aesthetic. However, as these Prometheans were too few in number to turn the tide, the Didact used the Composer on a large population of humans transplanted on a Halo Installation to create many more Prometheans. In order to render them immune to Flood infection, the Didact used a machine known as the Composer to convert his warriors into digital intelligences the warriors willingly accepted and were relieved of biological form. Significantly different from the original Prometheans, these constructs were created by the Didact toward the end of the Flood conflict. The Promethean forces encountered by UNSC forces and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant insurgents on Requiem were primarily mechanical in nature, and encompassed various classes of leader units known as Knights, support drones known as Watchers, and small, pack-oriented Crawlers designed to overwhelm the enemy from different directions. The Prometheans were responsible for creating "Warrior Keeps" known as Cryptums, where an exiled warrior could live in suspended animation for thousands of years.Ī Knight Battlewagon, one of the types of Promethean inhabiting Requiem. In order to combat the parasitic Flood during the Forerunner-Flood war, the Prometheans' arsenal of weapons was specifically tailored to disintegrate targets to prevent the Flood from repurposing any available biomass. They also used powerful vehicles known as War sphinxes for large-scale operations. Prometheans were also capable of controlling a million remote-controlled craft, such as weapon-ships, simultaneously. Their mental capabilities were also very sophisticated it was common for a Promethean to share information and sensory input with the warriors under their command. They were heavily muscled, their hands capable of easily crushing a human skull. Physically, Prometheans were the highest form a Warrior-Servant could mutate to, standing around two times the height of a Forerunner Manipular and weighing about four or five times a Manipular's mass.
