{{Quote| | {{Quote|Now that the Forerunners have succumbed, either in battle or from the Shaping Sickness, they have left behind just a few confused servants — and many, many humans, awaiting a new time, a new mandate. And that mandate is: avenge the fallen. Rise from defeat, rise from the dead! The promise is simple. Freedom. Support. Weapons unimagined in all our previous wars. Humans will fight Forerunners again—and defeat them!|Forthencho's essence addresses his fellow humans after being extracted from Chakas.}} | ||
Over nine thousand years after his death, Forthencho's archived personality was implanted in the genetic material of a human known as [[Chakas]] via the Librarian's special ''[[geas]]''. His memories began to surface in Chakas' mind after the young human witnessed the destruction of Charum Hakkor's [[Precursor]] artifacts and learned of the the relocation of the [[Primordial]], and his consciousness fully awakened after Chakas had crash-landed on [[Installation 07]]. Slowly becoming aware of his predicament and gaining strength within Chakas' mind, Forthencho would occasionally comment on the events around him, using his knowledge to enlighten Chakas on things beyond his understanding and often showing disappointment at how far humanity had fallen from their former glory. At one point, Chakas allowed Forthencho to take control of his body in order to converse with Yprin Yprikushma, whose consciousness was carried by another human known as [[Riser]].<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 225''</ref> | Over nine thousand years after his death, Forthencho's archived personality was implanted in the genetic material of a human known as [[Chakas]] via the Librarian's special ''[[geas]]''.

By the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the [[Gravemind]] had gained access to another copy of Forthencho's stored essence, along with those of three of his warriors. The Gravemind used these essences to deliver a message to the [[Librarian]], who had deliberately stranded herself on [[Earth]] before the firing of the [[Halo Array]]. The essences were imprinted over human bodies, corrupted by the Flood in a way that they would rot the bodies from within, only allowing them to survive long enough to convey the Gravemind's message. The Gravemind told Forthencho of the extent of the Precursors' power, their history dating back billions of years, and the truth about the [[Domain]] as a Precursor creation to store all of their knowledge. While failing to understand or express a large portion of the sheer vastness of this knowledge, Forthencho conveyed the message to the Librarian to his best ability. The revelation led the Librarian to conclude that the Domain was in fact the mythical [[Organon]], and that the activation of the Halo Array would destroy it along with all Precursor architecture. In his death throes, Forthencho grimaced, stating that there was no hope of stopping this, as the Halos had already been fired, though the pulse was yet to arrive in the system.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 37''</ref> | |||
