The [[Ur-Didact]], the main antagonist of ''[[Halo 4]]'', was originally slated to play a role in ''Halo 5''. At some point during the game's development, however, he was deemed to have become "extraneous" to the story, leading to him being redacted from the narrative in ''"[[The Next 72 Hours]]"'' arc of the ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'' comic series. According to Brian Reed, the manner of his removal from the story would still allow 343 Industries to use him as an antagonist in later stories if they so chose, as the franchise was considered to be lacking in recurring villains.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation|Halo: Escalation Library Edition Volume #1]]''', ''"The Next 72 Hours" developer commentary''</ref> | The [[Ur-Didact]], the main antagonist of ''[[Halo 4]]'', was originally slated to play a role in ''Halo 5''.
