Facilitators are sometimes referred to as "adjutant monitors"{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p351|Enc22|Page=351}}, reflective of their naming scheme of ''Adjutant [X]'', with the [X] taking the form of a random adjective. They are formed from the minds of living Forerunners rather than being created from-scratch as a full [[artificial intelligence]] (as in the case of [[Adjutant Revendicate]]{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p6|Enc22|Page=6-7}}), though are somewhat limited in their capabilities when compared to other ancilla classes such as the {{Class|Caradon|ancilla|}} and {{Class|Archeon|ancilla|}} - or even full [[monitor]]s.{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW15|HDW|Chapter=15}} | Facilitators are sometimes referred to as "adjutant monitors"{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p351|Enc22|Page=351}}, reflective of their naming scheme of ''Adjutant [X]'', with the [X] taking the form of a random adjective.

Facilitators are typically assigned specific subsystems of a given installation - such as a [[Cartographer]] - to keep watch over. Should the installation's monitor become unfit for duty, the sub-monitor takes over and resumes their functions (albeit in a limited capacity).{{Ref/Reuse|HI}} Sub-monitors may also serve as station attendants, rail attendants and manage other administrative and custodial functions.{{Ref/Novel|PoL|Chapter=16}} | Facilitators are typically assigned specific subsystems of a given installation - such as a [[Cartographer]] - to keep watch over.
