*''[[Halo Wars]]'' is the only Halo game (apart from ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', which featured no interaction with Forerunner technology) in which no characters are explicitly identified as Reclaimers. However, [[Ellen Anders]] could almost certainly be classified as a Reclaimer, as she was kidnapped by [[Ripa 'Moramee]] and forced by the Prophet of Regret to activate Forerunner technology on the [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|Shield World]], precisely the way Miranda Keyes and Sergeant Johnson were used by Tartarus and the Prophet of Truth, respectively, in the main trilogy. | *''[[Halo Wars]]'' is the only Halo game (apart from ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', which featured no interaction with Forerunner technology) in which no characters are explicitly identified as Reclaimers.

*It is possible that 343 Guilty Spark does not recognize Reclaimers as individuals, but instead believes that every Reclaimer is the same being. When talking to Master Chief in [[Installation 04]]'s Control Room, Spark says, "Last time, you asked me, if it were my choice, would I do it? Having had considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed."<ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', Opening cut-scene of [[Two Betrayals (Level)|Two Betrayals]]</ref> It seems that Guilty Spark was referring to a question posed to him by a Forerunner - very probably [[Didact]] - prior to the activation of Installation 04 one hundred thousand years prior. This theory is not entirely solid, however; in the cutscene before you fight Tartarus in ''Halo 2'', Spark warns the Brute Chieftain to "Please be careful; ''this'' Reclaimer is delicate," assumedly referencing the Master Chief's durability as contrasted to Keyes'. It is also possible that 343 Guilty Spark believes that the Reclaimers are one mind in many bodies. | *It is possible that 343 Guilty Spark does not recognize Reclaimers as individuals, but instead believes that every Reclaimer is the same being.

It is also possible that 343 Guilty Spark believes that the Reclaimers are one mind in many bodies. Another theory: Spark's statement to the Master Chief could just have been a result of his instability; somewhat like humming in battle. Another more complex idea is that since all humans seem to be able to be classified as Reclaimers, and Spark when speaking to the Chief (a Reclaimer) on Installation 04 (02) states "you are the child of my makers, inheritor of all they left behind. You are Forerunner" Spark views the Chief as a continuation of the Forerunners, and the "same" as Didact. Other characters also reference the humans as the same as the Forerunner in some fashion. Spark states Humanity holds the Forerunner's duties (Reclamation, etc.), Mendicant Bias holds himself in debt to Humanity when he cannot find any Forerunner to redeem himself to, and the Gravemind views the Forerunner as Humanity's "Father" and holds Humanity responsible for their sins. | ||
