The '''Monitors''' are highly advanced [[Artificial Intelligence]] constructs created by the [[Forerunners]] at least 100,000 years ago to occupy special positions in Forerunner society. One of their main purposes was to service and maintain the [[Halo Array|Halo]] installations and to ensure that the virulent [[Flood]] stayed imprisoned. Other purposes include the maintenance of [[Line Installation 1-4|Line Installations]]. Monitors are extremely intelligent, yet completely devoted to their original function, and are zealous about containing Flood; Monitors have been known to turn violently on their allies if they should attempt to violate their containment protocols.
