'''Wise-Hands-to-Forge''' was a powerful [[Forerunner]] [[Builder]]. He and his [[guild]] designed the original twelve [[Halo Array|Halo rings]] under the orders of the [[Master Builder]], [[Faber]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 248''</ref> He was married to [[Maker-of-Cherished-Mountains]], another Builder, with whom he had several children, including [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]] and [[Bornstellar's sister|his sister]].

==Biography==
At some point in his life, he had served as an advisor for the [[Ecumene Council|Council]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 256''</ref>

Though he had many children, Bornstellar was the most rebellious of them all, refusing to undergo the intensive training and education expected of him. Bornstellar's rebellion eventually led his father to send him to a step-family of [[Miner]]s on [[Mars|Edom]], where his father hoped he would learn discipline.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 14-15''</ref> Eventually, however, Bornstellar escaped to [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]] and ended up reviving the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] and joined the Promethean on a mission across the galaxy, until he was caught by the Master Builder and sent back to his family.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 220''</ref> Some time after Bornstellar's return, his father met with another high-ranking Builder and learned that the Master Builder had used a Halo against the [[San'Shyuum]] and would be tried for violation against the [[Mantle]] as a result.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 244-246''</ref> This would also result in him and his guild being indicted for designing the Halo weapon.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 251''</ref>

The next morning, Bornstellar confronted his family, bearing a message from the Didact's imprint within, concerning [[Installation 07|the Halo]] tested at [[Charum Hakkor]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 247-251''</ref> Bornstellar's father was hesitant to discuss the Halos openly at first, but eventually realized this was futile and revealed that Bornstellar's presence was requested at the Master Builder's trial. Before Bornstellar departed for the [[Capital]], he met with his father who, despite being saddened to see his son taken from his family, told him that he placed all his hope in his son. Bornstellar never saw his father or the rest of his family again—"alive and free".<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 253-254''</ref>

==Physical appearance==
Bornstellar's father was over six thousand years old by the mid-97,000s BCE. He had undergone a further [[Forerunner mutation|mutation]] during Bornstellar's absence and stood over four meters tall, as was typical of Forerunners of his rank. Bornstellar noted that his father's newest [[form]] bore a disturbing resemblance to the Master Builder, who the Manipular had recently crossed paths with.<ref name="c224">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 224-225''</ref> Bornstellar suspected that the Master Builder had mentored his father for his last mutation as a result.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=235}}
