Splendid-Dust-of-Ancient-Suns

Splendid Dust of Ancient Suns (more commonly known as Splendid Dust or simply Dust) was a young Forerunner who served as First Councilor of the Ecumene Council.

Biography
After the Master Builder Faber used a Halo installation to punish the San'Shyuum for rebelling, the Builders stripped Faber of his title, and a political revolution occurred. Though only a first-form, Splendid Dust and other first-form Councilors like him were brevet appointments intended to curb the abuses of the Council that Faber controlled.

After his appointment, Splendid Dust went to Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting's homeworld to speak with Bornstellar's father about Faber's fall, and to retrieve the young Bornstellar, who now hosted the memories of the Didact, supposedly executed by the Master Builder at Janjur Qom. During Faber's trial, Splendid Dust served as First Observer of the Court to the Supreme Mantle Court. However, the proceedings were interrupted by Mendicant Bias, who had defected to the Flood and attempted to use the Halo he had been given control of, taking control of the metarchy and shutting down everyone's armor. When Bornstellar managed to shut down Mendicant Bias, Glory of a Far Dawn managed to rescue Splendid Dust and Bornstellar, and they escaped to the Ark.
