(The IsoDidact during the Flood war *was* the Didact, not Bornstellar. This was made very clear at the end of Primordium and multiple times in Silentium. Bornstellar only became himself again after the war.) |

Originally a young [[Manipular]] known as '''Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting''' or simply '''Bornstellar''', he was transformed into a "copy" of the Didact after being imprinted with the latter's consciousness and memories, taking on the original Didact's identity and role of supreme commander of Forerunner war efforts against the [[Flood]] in the ongoing [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. The IsoDidact intended to serve as a replacement for the Didact, who was at the time believed to have been executed by [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]]. The "IsoDidact" moniker was adopted to differentiate the copy from the original Didact, who was subsequently identified as the Ur-Didact.<ref name="string2"/> The Ur-Didact's madness-induced actions near the end of the war led to his imprisonment for the next 100,000 years, leaving the IsoDidact to lead the Warrior-Servants for the final days of the war. He was also the individual responsible for activating the [[Halo Array]] at the close of the Flood conflict.<ref name="array">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 328''</ref> Following the firing of the Array, the IsoDidact gradually distanced himself from his Didact persona, being more frequently referred to as Bornstellar-Makes-Eternal-Lasting once again.<ref name="ptk">'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', "[[Promises to Keep]]"</ref><ref name="frac epilogue">'''Halo: Fractures''', [[Untitled story (Halo: Fractures)|Epilogue story]]</ref> | ||
