Only [[Humans]] can be a Reclaimer and it is likely that all non-brain damaged humans are. The term is used many times throughout the Halo games and literature, with no clear-cut definition. | ||
Chronologically, the title of Reclaimer is first used by [[Mendicant Bias]], as described in [[Contact Harvest]]. While correcting the Covenant's misinterpretation of the [[Luminary]]'s readings, Mendicant applies the term to a large portion, if not the entirety, of the [[human]] population on [[Harvest]]. Mendicant also claims that the humans are his makers, which corroborates what 343 Guilty Spark says to the Master Chief in ''[[Halo 3]]'': ''"You are the child of [[Forerunner|my makers]]. Inheritor of all they left behind. You are Forerunner.''" After Mendicant, the next known bestowal of the title is when Guilty Spark addressed Sergeant Marvin Mobuto in ''Halo: The Flood''. Following Mobuto's death and Spark's first meeting with SPARTAN-117, the title is laid upon the Master Chief. [[2401 Penitent Tangent]] also instantly recognized the Master Chief as a Reclaimer. In addition to the Chief, both [[Commander Keyes]] and [[Sergeant Johnson]] are referred to as Reclaimers, and 343 Guilty Spark seems to show them the same respectful attitude that he shows the Chief. [[Professor Anders]] seemed to be able to access [[Forerunner]] artifacts better than [[Regret]] and was likely considered a Reclaimer. | Chronologically, the title of Reclaimer is first used by [[Mendicant Bias]], as described in [[Contact Harvest]].
