The Didact was a Promethean, a member of an extremely powerful class of [[Warrior-Servant]]. He gained his name while teaching at the [[College of Strategic Defense of the Mantle]]. On [[Charum Hakkor]], he met a [[Lifeworker]] named the Librarian and married her. They had several children, who followed their father's footsteps and became Warrior-Servants. During the [[Human-Forerunner War]], the Didact ~~lead~~ the Forerunner military against the humans. His way of carrying out campaigns in interstellar war involved a strategy referred to as "star-hopping"; isolating and besieging points of strategic importance while ignoring any less significant targets.<ref name="pri187">'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 187-188''</ref> Though all of his children died in the war, the Forerunners were victorious. After the [[Charum Hakkor campaign]], he and a group of Prometheans, including [[the Confirmer]], discovered a [[stasis capsule]] on Charum Hakkor which contained [[the Primordial]], the last of the [[Precursor]]s. After a brief exchange with the Primordial, the Didact sealed its timelock for nearly the next ten thousand years.

Following the end of the war and the first discovery of [[~~the~~ Flood]], he advocated a policy of vigilance and research in the event of a Flood resurgence.

Having lost the political battle, the Didact was stripped of his power and forced into exile.
