He commanded Flood [[Fleet]]s against the Forerunner until he was defeated by another AI, [[Offensive Bias]] who then split his Compound Mind into fragments, one fragment made it to the Ark and another was put on a [[Keyship]]. Mendicant Bias' ship was discovered by the [[San 'Shyuum]] and it was kept in the ship until [[2525]], when it detected [[Reclaimer]]s. Having had some time in isolation, Mendicant Bias returned itself to a stable state, and later even assisted the humans against the Flood during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in [[2553]]<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'' ''[[Terminals]]''</ref> | ||
*'''[[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]]''', the [[monitor]] of [[Installation 04]], went rampant and was subsequently destroyed during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in 2553. When it was discovered that the Ark was automatically constructing a [[Installation 04 (II)|replacement Installation]], to rebuild Installation 04 (lost in the [[Battle of Installation 04]]), Spark agreed with the human forces that activating the ring was a good idea. However, when they decided to activate it before it was ready, knowing it would be destroyed and probably damage the Ark as well, Spark went rampant, attacking the humans and killing [[Sergeant Major Avery Johnson]]. He was then destroyed by the Master Chief. A possible explanation is that he had already entered the first stage of rampancy, as he had existed for a long period of time and was known to hum absent-mindedly, even in the heat of battle; when the humans decided to fire the ring, even though they knew it would be destroyed, Spark felt it had been "pushed too far" and fell into the second phase of rampancy and became a threat to those around it.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', level [[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]</ref> | *'''[[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]]''', the [[monitor]] of [[Installation 04]], went rampant and was subsequently destroyed during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in 2553.

*'''[[2401 Penitent Tangent]]''' may be in the early stages of Rampancy, considering the fact that he makes similar humming to 343 Guilty Spark on the map [[Backwash]] and is red just like when 343 went rampant. Rampancy may also account for his neglect of proper maintenance that resulted in the Flood escaping containment. He is no longer a threat, however, as he was captured by the Gravemind some time afterwards. | *'''[[2401 Penitent Tangent]]''' may be in the early stages of Rampancy, considering the fact that he makes similar humming to 343 Guilty Spark on the map [[Backwash]] and is red just like when 343 went rampant.
