Warrior-Servants or Warriors were the second-lowest rate in Forerunner society. As their name suggests, they were responsible for defense and warfare in the Forerunner ecumene.[1] The Warrior-Servants were presumably all subordinate to the Warrior-Servant Corps.[2] They utilized many different war machines, including war sphinxes. Warrior-Servants were powerfully built, and typically taller than the other rates such as Builders.[3]
Practices
While Forerunner society was peaceful by nature, Warrior-Servants were ruthless in executing warfare against other races, as they believed that defying the Forerunners was to show contempt on the Mantle.[4] Seeing their practices contradictory to the principles of the Mantle, other rates looked down on the Warrior-Servants, who mostly kept to themselves as a result.[5]
It was a common policy among Warriors to harvest the memories of their vanquished foes about to be executed.[6]
History
The highest class of Warrior-Servants, known as the Prometheans,[7] had once been in high social standing and power, serving in various roles in the Forerunner Council. However, after the conclusion of the Human-Forerunner wars, the Prometheans were opposed to a Builder plan to construct a new superweapon known as the Halo Array. Circa 101,000 BCE, the Prometheans lost this political battle and were removed from the Council,[8] some of them entering self-imposed exile in "Warrior Keeps" known as Cryptums, while others were executed.[9] This also resulted in the entire Warrior-Servant rate being marginalized, with their fleets and armies being systematically disbanded over the course of the next millennium.[8] This would leave the ecumene ill-prepared for the return of the Flood.
