Chronologically, the title of Reclaimer is first used by [[Mendicant Bias]], as described in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''. While correcting the Covenant's misinterpretation of the [[Luminary]]'s readings, Mendicant applies the term to the [[human]] population on [[Harvest]]. This is later put to use by the Prophet of Truth, in realization that the [[Luminary]]'s reading of the humans as Reclaimers would help him scour the galaxy for any other human colonies. This may help explain why Covenant forces are so often quick to converge on the position of the [[Master Chief]] in an otherwise vast and barren network of tunnels as found in the Halo constructs. Mendicant also claims that the humans are his makers, which corroborates what 343 Guilty Spark says to the Master Chief in ''[[Halo 3]]'': ''"You are the child of [[Forerunner|my makers]]. Inheritor of all they left behind. You ''are'' Forerunner."'' | Chronologically, the title of Reclaimer is first used by [[Mendicant Bias]], as described in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''.

They activated the halo array and sacrificed themselves to destroy the flood but before they activated the rings they chose who would be able to control their technology after they were long gone so they chose humanity to be the reclaimers of their technology.Just as the forerunners were the reclaimers of the predecessor technology such as the mantle. | ||
After Mendicant, the next known bestowal of the title is when Guilty Spark addressed Sergeant Marvin Mobuto in ''Halo: The Flood''. Following Mobuto's death and Spark's first meeting with SPARTAN-117, the title is laid upon the Master Chief. [[2401 Penitent Tangent]] also instantly recognized the Chief as a Reclaimer. In addition to the Master Chief, both [[Commander Keyes]] and [[Sergeant Johnson]] are referred to as Reclaimers, and [[343 Guilty Spark]] seems to show them the same respectful attitude that he shows the Chief. [[Professor Anders]] seemed to be able to access [[Forerunner]] artifacts better than the [[Prophet of Regret]] (which was the reason why she was kidnapped), and was thus considered a Reclaimer as well despite the fact that there was no Monitor or Sentinel present to explicitly identify her as such. | After Mendicant, the next known bestowal of the title is when Guilty Spark addressed Sergeant Marvin Mobuto in ''Halo: The Flood''.
