The Confirmer, like all Prometheans, was once a great and respected warrior. However, after 1,200 years of solitary guard duty, his mental and physical abilities had deteriorated considerably. He was quite out-of-shape, and wore armor that appeared to have been compiled from several different sets. His figure was large and lumpish with mottled gray skin, spotted with unhealthy veins of paleness tinged with pink. He no longer had the patches of bluish-white bristling fuzz on the crown and shoulders that marked many of the [[Warrior-Servant]]s and his stone-black teeth were fused together with growth.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=179}} | The Confirmer, like all Prometheans, was once a great and respected warrior.

The Confirmer was energetic in personality, though that appeared to be thanks to being alone from over a millennium until the Didact returned. He had grown very careless in his old age, allowing his weapons and ship to fall into disrepair, and did not even check if the Didact still held his rank after his exile.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=187}} Bornstellar suspected he had spent his time building useless trinkets within the ship, diminishing its resources and design.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=180}} | The Confirmer was energetic in personality, though that appeared to be thanks to being alone from over a millennium until the Didact returned.

The Confirmer was fond of San'Shyuum art, and he valued it especially because it was worthless to Forerunners.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=171}} He kept himself away from the business of [[Lifeworker]]s and [[Builder]]s, since they were a higher rate than Prometheans.{{Ref/Reuse|c178}} | The Confirmer was fond of San'Shyuum art, and he valued it especially because it was worthless to Forerunners.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=171}} He kept himself away from the business of [[Lifeworker]]s and [[Builder]]s, since they were a higher rate than Prometheans.{{Ref/Reuse|c178}} | ||
While he betrayed the Didact and his companions to the Master Builder,{{Ref/Reuse|c192}} the Confirmer had been promised that the Didact would be taken before the [[Ecumene Council]] to await fair judgment and the Confirmer later expressed remorse for his betrayal. After the Didact's anger was blunted enough so that he could see more clearly the circumstances leading to the Confirmer's betrayal, he came to the conclusion that the ancient Forerunner's age and isolation at the time that the Didact and his companions had encountered him above [[Janjur Qom]] had lent to his mental instability with the Confirmer's derelict ship being even more unstable, making him an easy mark for the Master Builder's machinations and honeyed promises.{{Ref/Reuse|Epi9}} | |||
When it was time to fight the [[Warden Eternal]], the Didact noted that the jovial old Forerunner that he knew so well was gone, replaced by a savage figure with a fevered light shining in his mad eyes. After 100,000 years without the Domain, the Confirmer wanted in now that the time had come, no matter the cost.{{Ref/Reuse|Epi25}} After gaining entry into the Domain, the Confirmer appeared to be content with a more peaceful life, stating that he had better things to do than dealing with the remaining [[Created]] AIs and ancestors to see, muttering as he left about remembering where he left off the last time that the Confirmer was in the Domain.{{Ref/Reuse|Epi27}} | |||
