Name?

What if Bornstellar's full name is just "Bornstellar Makes Eternal"? The only source that we have for Bornstellar's full name including the word "Lasting" (at least as far as I can remember) is the front flap. Other than that, he's either referred to as "Bornstellar" or "Bornstellar Makes Eternal" (on pg. 218 and 261). Since the front flap was probably written either before/after the actual book was written, which should we consider more accurate?

Just thought I'd throw that out there. Having "Eternal" and "Lasting" right next to each other never made grammatical sense, anyway.

He does include "lasting" when he gives his full name to Chakas and Riser in one of the first chapters (don't have my book on me), so I think it must be legit... My guess is that everyone else just shortens his name for convenience, it's kind of a mouthful SPARTAN-347 23:03, 7 March 2011 (EST)

Vegerot (talk) 23:07, 7 March 2011 (EST): Yeah, that is a mouthful, but I bet you're used to that. So it's O.K.

Baffler vs Dazzler

If I remember correctly, than the mentioned baffler in the article is actually a dazzler. When Born approaches the Cryptum he thinks he is being manipulated by a baffler, but he also mentions the possibility of it being a dazzler. And when he finally reaches the Cryptum he states something like it had been a dazzler after all.

So perhaps I'm a bit picky, but if I'm right, shouldn't the article be corrected?

Userbox Image

Just remembered: 05-032 Mendicant Bias's page uses an image from Origins for its main pic. But here the Didact image from Origins was kept out of the userbox. There was also a time when we used Origins' depictions of Forerunners for its main image. Then should the Bias pic be taken down or this Didact pic restored?

It does but it's different from this article in that Mendicant is housed in "a number of different physical systems". The one from Origin seems to fit this description. — subtank 04:26, 15 February 2013 (EST)

Not really. If I remember correctly, the Oracle at High Charity that turns out to be MB is said to have one eye, and this one has three. And I don't see how that pic resembles anything about being housed in different systems. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 18:39, 15 February 2013 (EST)

either both go, or both stay. Mendicant was also known as "green eye" in Halo Primordium so he has clearly been depicted wrong, since it is Cortanas imagination. I'd say we keep both images, and clearly point out it is a likely false depiction; but it is the only one we have atm.--Reclaimer-117 (talk) 21:19, 18 February 2013 (EST)
