Biography[edit]

In 2558, when Rion Forge and 343 Guilty Spark placed the Librarian's coordinate key into Installation 07's Cartographer, the Cartographer displayed a star map pointing to a location on New Carthage before ejecting the key and a second component which Rion combined together.[2] The Precept sensed that Rion was a Reclaimer and brought her to Erebus VII for judgment.[1] On Zeta Halo, a slipspace portal was suddenly opened[2] by the Precept[1] using a personal slipspace unit[3] and pulled Rion through, although Spark managed to keep hold of the coordinate key.[2]

The Precept judged Rion through her interactions with the Eiyaa-Mahtuhaa. When Rion and Spark returned to the Forerunner complex and inserted the coordinate key into the terminal, the Precept rose from the void in which he lived to test the pair. After scanning Spark and reading Rion's geas, the Precept returned the key to them with coordinates and access permissions to Bastion for Rion and Spark only.[1]
