'''Mendicant Bias''' is a contender-class [[Forerunner]] [[AI]], the most advanced AI at the time, created to study and exploit the weaknesses of the first [[Gravemind]], or Compound Mind. At some point he was contacted by the Gravemind with a message of peace, charging the Forerunners with being so gluttonous and prideful as to deny the next step of evolution: the [[Flood]]. Convinced of these charges, Mendicant Bias abandoned his original purpose and became [[rampant]], developing a hatred for his makers. Siding with the [[Flood]], he led a massive assault of infected forces on [[Installation 00|The Ark]] to halt the [[The Halos|Array sequence]] but was outsmarted and defeated by [[Offensive Bias]], the AI created to counter him after his betrayal. Mendicant was able to hide in the Ark's system as an unknown entity, sending the player messages in each [[Terminal]], eventually telling the player, "I am Mendicant Bias." | '''Mendicant Bias''' is a contender-class [[Forerunner]] [[AI]], the most advanced AI at the time, created to study and exploit the weaknesses of the first [[Gravemind]], or Compound Mind.

It is presumed Mendicant was captured and taken back to the Ark for study, but was able to escape and hide in the Ark's system as an unknown entity, sending the player messages in each [[Terminal]], eventually telling the player, "I'll tell you who I am. I am Mendicant Bias, this is what I have done." | ||
