After crashing the hijacked {{UNSCShip|Rubicon}} in [[2554]], [[343 Guilty Spark]] survived by uploading himself to an armiger made out of parts salvaged from Installation 00 by the ''Rubicon''. After being rescued by the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' in [[2557]], Spark used the armiger as his primary form, even molding the avatar created by [[Niko]] for him after it rather than after his old human identity [[Chakas]] or his old [[Monitor]] form. After traveling to [[Triniel]] to get an [[upgrade seed]] for the ''Ace of Spades'', Spark was able to use the [[Builder]] facility there to repair damage to his armiger. When Spark finally made contact with the [[Librarian]] through a personality imprint beneath [[Kilimanjaro]], he suggested that she use an armiger to return to the living world with him, but she refused in favor of going to the [[Absolute Record]]. Though offered the same choice, Spark chose to remain with his friends from the ''Ace of Spades'' and briefly shifted his armiger into a combat configuration to get them out of trouble. Additionally, Spark's armiger displayed the ability to project a cloaking field over himself and his companions to shield them from ONI drones.{{Ref/Novel|HRen}}

Following the [[New Phoenix Incident|defeat]] of the [[Ur-Didact]] over [[Earth]] in summer [[2557]], armigers began to appear in greater numbers at Forerunner installations across the [[Milky Way|galaxy]] - something later linked to the reactivation of the [[Guardian Custode]] at the hands of [[Cortana]], indicating she had found the secret to the armigers' manufacture.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFLocke}} The armigers would go on to become a primary symbol of the domineering influence of the [[Created]] as they [[The Reclamation|took control]] of the galaxy late in [[2558]], used to patrol city streets and display the reach of Created control in the face of resistance. These measures allowed Cortana to cement her influence over the major governments and worlds of the galaxy, with her armiger forces used as the primary reaction elements against anti-Created insurgencies.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Armigers proved fairly effective in their occupational duties, and relatively low concentrations of them were used to oversee the compliance of civilian regions - with the end goal of Cortana being the hope that Armigers would come to be viewed not as an occupational force, but as a symbol of enduring peace.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=395-396}}
