Following his death, the Confirmer was uploaded to the outer boundaries of the [[Domain]] and, along with the rest of the Forerunners who had perished in the firing of the Halo Array, was trapped, unable to enter the ancient repository. Unlike many of the other Forerunners, the Confirmer was able to pull himself together enough to be coherent with the Confirmer's madness possibly helping to keep him more grounded.{{Ref/Reuse|Epi9}} | Following his death, the Confirmer was uploaded to the outer boundaries of the [[Domain]] and, along with the rest of the Forerunners who had perished in the firing of the Halo Array, was trapped, unable to enter the ancient repository.

100,000 years later | 100,000 years later following [[Mission to Installation 03|his own death]], the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] encountered the Confirmer in the outer boundary of the Domain where the ancient Promethean was throwing rocks at and cursing out the other Forerunners in the valley.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Epi8|Epi|8}} Having not seen his old mentor since the Confirmer's betrayal, the Didact furiously confronted him and the Confirmer expressed remorse, admitting to the betrayal, but having had no idea that the Didact would be sent into a [[Burn]] rather than to the [[Ecumene Council]] to await fair judgment as Faber had promised him. The Didact called it as a stain on his existence to carry the Confirmer's imprint, but the Confirmer reminded him that he would not ''be'' the Didact without his imprint. After the Confirmer asked what had happened to him, the Didact's anger was blunted enough so that he could see more clearly the circumstances leading to the Confirmer's betrayal. 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. Although unable to forgive his old friend, the Didact was relieved to find another coherent Forerunner to talk to.{{Ref/Reuse|Epi9}} | ||
The Confirmer explained that they were all dead and stuck here, sealed off from the Domain which had closed itself up when the rings fired, although the Confirmer optimistically thought that the Domain would sort itself out soon. The Confirmer admitted that he was maddened with envy at the thought of their ancestors inside, roaming the halls, learning and communing with those who came before while the Confirmer and the others were trapped outside. The conversation drew the interest of a number of other Forerunners, including the [[Grammarian]], who wished to know the state of the galaxy, although these were more ghostly and less grounded than the Confirmer. The Didact informed the gathered Forerunners of what he had learned from the [[Halo: Cryptum|Bornstellar Relation]], but deflected questions about his own demise and asked for information on the [[Warden Eternal]]. The Confirmer informed the Didact about the seemingly-unstoppable threat that the construct posed and about a rift nearby that was occupied by [[human]]s. The Confirmer admitted that he hadn't seen the [[Librarian]], but that she might be present as well.{{Ref/Reuse|Epi9}} | The Confirmer explained that they were all dead and stuck here, sealed off from the Domain which had closed itself up when the rings fired, although the Confirmer optimistically thought that the Domain would sort itself out soon.
