Their main locomotion is provided by a pair of long, thin legs designed for agility and speed. Soldiers are covered in patterns of light and have a fire-like glow inside their heads. In addition, they are capable of [[slipspace translocation]]. Unlike the other Promethean units, Promethean Soldiers are also [[Promethean Soldier/Quotes|capable of speech]]. The Soldiers encountered in the modern era are known to taunt their [[human]] opponents in [[English]].<ref name="E3 2015 Gameplay Reveal">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwjwJ9Z_XYs '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 5 E3 Campaign Demo'']</ref> | ||

During the Human-Forerunner war, the [[Ur-Didact]] deployed Armigers. Due to their bipedal form and agility, the Armigers proved incredibly useful for raiding ancient human warships, particularly when infiltrating the vessels' confined spaces. | During the Human-Forerunner war, the [[Ur-Didact]] deployed Armigers.

Following the conflict, the Didact was forced into exile by the [[ecumene]] Council, and his rate was diminished. When the [[Flood]] eventually returned, the ecumene found themselves dangerously unprepared, and so the [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]] recommissioned the production of Armigers to combat the Flood and to compensate for the dwindling number of [[Warrior-Servant]]s. | Following the conflict, the Didact was forced into exile by the [[ecumene]] Council, and his rate was diminished.

While most Soldiers were expended during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], some were tasked with guarding key Forerunner sites in the event the [[Halo Array]] was fired. The [[UNSC]] first encountered these Soldiers in [[2558]] under control of [[Cortana]] and her faction, the [[Created]], and they have since been integrated into the [[Spartan-IV]] [[War Games]] simulations. | While most Soldiers were expended during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], some were tasked with guarding key Forerunner sites in the event the [[Halo Array]] was fired.
