The Composer was created by the Forerunners to save them from the [[Flood]] by allowing them to transcend biological forms altogether, granting them virtual immortality as digital intelligences. However, the Forerunners never perfectly mastered this capability and the resulting digital personalities became corrupted or fragmented and could no longer be restored to biological form. The Composer was also capable of slowing down [[Flood]] infection and the subsequent loss of individuality; however, this process was only temporary and still left the afflicted individuals in their deformed state. Physically, the Composer was an enormous, monolithic artifact engraved with patterns of lines characteristic of Forerunner architecture.<ref name="h4"/> | The Composer was created by the Forerunners to save them from the [[Flood]] by allowing them to transcend biological forms altogether, granting them virtual immortality as digital intelligences.

The Composer did not work on all organic beings; certain individuals could, through genetic manipulation, become immune to its effects. After undergoing mutation in an attempt to gain immunity to the Flood, the [[Didact]]'s physiology was no longer compatible with the Composer. Similarly, the [[geas]] the [[Librarian]] placed on [[humanity]] allowed the [[Spartan]] [[John-117]] to develop a resistance to the Composer. | |||
