At least 50 years prior to the battle, the [[Contender-class Artificial Intelligence]] [[Mendicant Bias]] had been assigned to a mission to locate and attack the [[Flood]] [[Gravemind]]. As part of this mission, he was given control of a Halo Installation and charged with conducting the first test of such a weapon. After the test, however, Bias disappeared with the ring and was not seen for decades. | At least 50 years prior to the battle, the [[Contender-class artificial intelligence|Contender-class Artificial Intelligence]] [[05-032 Mendicant Bias|Mendicant Bias]] had been assigned to a mission to locate and attack the [[The Flood|Flood]] [[Gravemind]].

Bias unexpectedly returned with the Halo to the Forerunner Capital after 43 years, turned rampant by the Gravemind and bent on the destruction of the Forerunner race. He infiltrated the Capital's defense systems, deactivated all Ancillas and security constructs, and held the Council hostage by overriding their armor and rendering them immobile. | Bias unexpectedly returned with the Halo to the Forerunner Capital after 43 years, turned rampant by the Gravemind and bent on the destruction of the Forerunner race.

Bias was temporarily deactivated by [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]], who was host to the memories of the [[Didact]] and issued a verbal failsafe code. The Capital was released from Mendicant's control, and began activating its defensive systems. | Bias was temporarily deactivated by [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]], who was host to the memories of the [[The Didact|Didact]] and issued a verbal failsafe code.

Despite losing control of the Capital, Bias could still control five of the twelve Halos in orbit around the capital. These rings immediatly began charging their main weapons and positioning themselves around the capital in preparation to attack. | Despite losing control of the Capital, Bias could still control five of the twelve Halos in orbit around the capital.

First Councilor [[Splendid Dust of Ancient Suns]] was rescued from the Capital by [[Glory of a Far Dawn]], along with [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]]. Bornstellar, now in possession of the Didact's memories and personality, presumably went on to assume his role as the Forerunner military commander. | First Councilor [[Splendid Dust of Ancient Suns]] was rescued from the Capital by [[Glory of a Far Dawn]], along with [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]].
