Editing Talk:Invariant Bias

==Name==
Is the name conjecture? Several of the characters continually refer to it as the Custodian, as does the little intro summaries at the beginning of each comic. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 10:28, 28 November 2015 (EST)

:They do, but it's often uncapitalized in the intro summaries. Issue 21: "''Song of Retribution'' has [awakened] its powerful custodian.", Issue 22: "the Record's powerful custodian..." It's only capitalized in Issue 23: "the site's Custodian pits Spartan Palmer's team...", and I'm willing to bet that's a mistake because Issue 24 has it uncapitalized again: "guided by a Sentinel containing the custodian's last fragment of consciousness..." It's called that because Halsey greets it as "I assume we are speaking with the custodian of this facility".

::Alright, makes sense. Especially with "the site's Custodian" which further implies that "custodian" is the ancilla's role rather than name. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 14:57, 28 November 2015 (EST)

:::For what it's worth, ''Mythos'' refers to it as the "Custodian" as well. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 16:22, 9 March 2017 (EST)

==Contender Class==
How is it that we know for sure that the Custodian was a Contender-class ancilla? Aside from it's representation as similar to the Halo: Legends anime, I don't recall anything that clearly defines it as a Contender-class A.I. specifically.[[User:The Ragin Pagan|The Ragin Pagan]] ([[User talk:The Ragin Pagan|talk]]) 23:37, 5 January 2017 (EST)

:Bump. This article treats the Custodian as a ''Contender'' on the shaky basis that Mendicant Bias once used a similar shell. However, Mendicant Bias took a [[Mendicant Bias#Housings|variety of forms]], so considering [[:File:Waypoint-Mendicant-Bias-Rampant.jpg|this]] [[:File:HE21 Absolute Record Ancilla.jpg|housing]] the definitive look of the class reads too much into the association. While the Custodian may in fact be a ''Contender'' — though the debacle in ''Escalation'' #22 suggests otherwise — I think it's best that we don't assume one way or the other. --[[User:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">'''''Our answer is at hand.'''''</span>]] [[File:Gravemind.svg|14px]] ([[User talk:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">Talk to me.</span>]]) 11:52, 7 April 2017 (EDT)

	::I don't have access to Escalation at the moment, but I recall the Custodian alluding to being of the same class as Mendicant Bias in a reference to MB's corruption by the Flood. Not exactly sure about the wording, though.--[[User:Jugus\|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus\|talk]]) 12:28, 7 April 2017 (EDT)
