'''PREFECT-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR [GEN2]]] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|MJOLNIR [GEN3]]]{{Ref/Reuse|XHaloPrefect}} manufactured by the [[Watershed Division]]. It is reverse-engineered from the [[Forerunner personal armor|personal armor]] worn by [[Forerunner]] [[Prefect]]s.{{Ref/Site|Id=worthplaying|URL=http://worthplaying.com/article/2013/7/6/news/89850/|Site=WorthPlaying|Page='Halo 4' (X360) Champions Bundle To Add New Maps, Mode, Skins, Armor, Bonus Upgrades - Screens|D=26|M=06|Y=2022}}

==GEN2 overview==
===Design details===
The GEN2 Prefect armor is based on the Forerunner [[Combat skin]] used by the [[Prefect]]s, a class of [[Warrior-Servant]]s in the [[Ecumene]].

===Development history===
Research on the Forerunner [[shield world]] now called [[Trevelyan]] has cultivated numerous findings for the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. One of the most practical has been the discovery of a native armor system utilized by Forerunner Prefects late in their civilization's history. The [[Watershed Division]] leveraged local [[Huragok]] to reverse-engineer the original designs, grafting the abandoned armor system into baseline Mjolnir standards for [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IV]] use.{{Ref/Reuse|worthplaying}} It was tested at [[Denegroth]], [[West Conamara]], on [[Europa]].{{Ref/Site|Id=HB|URL=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/07/10/The-Halo-Bulletin-71013.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 7.10.13|D=26|M=11|Y=2013}}

==GEN3 overview==
===Design details===
The GEN3 Prefect helmet is compatible with the "Odin's Eye", an hyperscanner developed by the Watershed Division that allows the user a real-time environment analysis and the detection of baffler camouflage.{{Ref/Game|Id=HIOdin|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=Odin's Eye - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=Odin's Eye, reverse-engineered from a War Sphinx sensor cluster, incorporates ultra-tech capabilities that allow for hyperscanner environmental analysis in real-time and anti-baffler camouflage detection.}} The armor is built on the same [[Smartmatter|exotic materials]] from which the [[Promethean Knight]]s are built.{{Ref/Game|Id=HIPreChest|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=UA/Prefect - Chest Description|Quote=Constructed of the same exotic materials as a Promethean Knight.}} 

===Development history===
Like its GEN2 predecessor, the GEN3 Prefect armor was developed by the Watershed Division. By [[2560]], and after several years of testings, revisions, several discoveries on Forerunner technologies, and setbacks, ONI was finally prepared to deploy the Prefect armor as a technological demostration of fusing human powered armor and Forerunner combat skins.{{Ref/Game|Id=HIPrefect|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=Prefect - Helmet Description|Quote=After years of testing, revision, discoveries, and setbacks, ONI is finally prepared to widely deploy a fusion of human powered armor and Forerunner combat skin.}}

==In-game information==
===''Halo 4''===
Prefect is one of the three armors from the ''[[Champions Bundle#Infinity Armor Pack|Infinity Armor Pack]]''. Like the other two armor sets, it is not usable in Spartan Ops in ''Halo 4''. Although the Prefect was unavailable during initial release in ''The Master Chief Collection'', it was made available in [[Series 7: Elite]].

The Prefect armor returned and was made available for [[multiplayer]] Spartan [[Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|armor customization]] in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', returning in the aptly named [[Forerunner (Operation)|Forerunner]] [[Event|Operation]].

==Production notes==
{{Quote|Initially when I started out on this, I did experiment a bit with fusing the typical Halo 4 'armor noise' into a 'loose' interpretation of Issac's design then swung into a more direct interpretation with simpler shapes.  Alot of the simple designs had some very nice chunky, unique silhouette breaking shapes, which I thought would have been a nice break from the typical collection of Halo armors, but eventually alot of the pieces were broken up  and shrunk down to fit more snugly against the frame and avoid any unwanted collision...|Sean Bigham, describing the design process for Prefect.{{Ref/Reuse|SB}}}}
The Prefect variant was based on ''[[Halo: Chronicles]]'' concept art for a "Promethean" (unrelated to the [[Promethean]]s now-known in canon) by [[Isaac Hannaford]]. It was designed for ''[[Halo 4]]'' by concept artist [[:Category:Images by Sean Bigham|Sean Bigham]].{{Ref/Site|Id=SB|URL=http://sbigham.deviantart.com/art/Halo-4-Champions-DLC-Prefect-Armor-Concept-410850342|Site=DeviantArt|Page=Halo 4: Champions DLC - Prefect Armor Concept|D=10|M=10|Y=2021}}

The first trailer for the Champions Bundle DLC showed the Prefect armor with a different design on the armor's wrists, an added decal for [[Chalybs Defense Solutions]] on the helmet's forehead, and the player's secondary color applied to their player model's fingertips. These would be altered for the DLC's launch.
