In the [[Silver Timeline]], Reclaimers appeared to be much rarer, rather than just humanity as a whole. Neither [[Soren-066/Silver|Soren-066]] nor [[Reth/Silver|Reth]] had Forerunner artifacts respond to them while [[Makee]] and [[John-117/Silver|John-117]] did, making them "Blessed Ones" in the eyes of the Covenant. After seeing John activate the [[keystone]], Reth stated that John was "different" than Makee and that he could see it in John's eyes. John was also immune to the harmful effects that the artifact had on the entire [[The Rubble/Silver|Rubble]].{{Ref/Reuse|Unbound}} [[Silver Team]] was also unable to activate the keystone.{{Ref/Reuse|Homecoming}} | In the [[Silver Timeline]], Reclaimers appeared to be much rarer, rather than just humanity as a whole.
