Enduring Bias was capable of incredible feats and was very intellectual, like most [[monitor]]s. However, he was often very casual in conversation—no matter the topic. [[Ussa 'Xellus]] believed that the monitor lacked dignity and was unable to comprehend the seriousness of certain situations.

He admitted that having no one to talk to for numerous millennia left him over-talkative and unfocused. After he realized that he had been left alone on the shield world, Bias was confused as he was never given a clear-cut purpose.{{Ref/Reuse|bc68}} The monitor experienced an existential crisis of sorts when he met the [[Sangheili]] [['Crecka]]. Bias learned that the [[Librarian]]'s [[Conservation Measure]] was a success and that the shield worlds—and by extension, his own purpose and function—were ultimately unnecessary.{{Ref/Reuse|bc34}} The monitor often spoke to himself in a language that was once used by the Forerunners.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 80''</ref> Although many Sangheili came to respect Enduring Bias and even worshipped him, some remained reluctant to trust him or feared the monitor entirely. [['Drem]] even called the monitor the "dark angel".<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 91''</ref> | ||
