Although multiple Graveminds have existed throughout time, sometimes contemporaneously with one another, they all share precisely the same obscure, complex and highly intelligent personality. It also appears to retain the memories of anything and everything it has ever assimilated, even in the case of near-complete annihilation of the Flood. When the Halo array was fired for instance, all Flood biomass in the galaxy was eliminated in its entirety, yet the Gravemind retained its personality and memories when next encountered thousands of years later. This would seem to indicate that the Gravemind has the ability to somehow preserve itself in a non-physical form even if destroyed. When it was first seen by the [[John-117|Master Chief]] and the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]], the Gravemind was calm and collected, if not seemingly sad or mournful, and it spoke with a sullen tone in its voice. It was also quite logical and rational, psychologically analyzing the duo, and trying to convince the Arbiter of the [[Halo Array|Halo rings']] true purpose, to which the Arbiter reacted with stubborn pride. The Gravemind showed no irritation to this nor the bickering of [[2401 Penitent Tangent]] and the former [[Prophet of Regret]].{{Ref/Reuse|h2gm}} Later, though, the Gravemind showed a more emotional side, basking in its victory at ''High Charity'', and displaying a sinister air of anger when demanding answers from the newly captured [[Cortana]]. | Although multiple Graveminds have existed throughout time, sometimes contemporaneously with one another, they all share precisely the same obscure, complex and highly intelligent personality.
