The Seeker was intended to appear in ''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]'' as a Heroic Character for the Covenant, alongside the [[Prophet of Stewardship]] and [[Ardo 'Moretumee]]. Unfortunately, the game was cancelled before Seeker's statistics card and artwork could be released. This intent would indicate that [[343 Industries]] does consider the character of Seeker canon in the ''Halo'' universe. In the ''Fleet Battles'' core rulebook, Seeker is described as a "''Counter-cyberintrusion system''"; little else is known of what 343 and [[Spartan Games]]' intent was for the character.{{Ref/Book|Id=FB42|Halo: Fleet Battles Core Rulebook|Page=42}} | |||
