[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] King Nis085 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xi43 I believe The Didact was the only Forerunner who didn't like humans.[/quote] xi43 is correct. It's stated throughout the books that the Didact was the only Forerunner that despised all Humanity for entering Forerunner space and attacking them. What the Didact really didn't understand is that the Ancient Humans knew how to destroy the Flood and were ultimately using their own methods similar to the Covenants "glassing of planets" to eradicate the Flood. The Didact only paid attention to the number of Forerunners that died against the Humans. Edit* To contribute, the Didact also felt that the Forerunners were the only known species to be worthy of upholding the Mantle and that the Human's were not and are still not.[/quote]Thing is, Ur Didact was a Forerunner of principle, he went on and on about the Mantle, even in Halo 4. His wife didn't seem to care about it, which she pretty much proved by removing a lesser species freedom by [i]possesing[/i] them with various Geas. I see that the [i]identity[/i] of the Ur Didact is being debated back and forth, but for me it has been super obvious; his [i]corruption[/i] that lead him to do [i]evil[/i] things to humanity, is selfcontained in Halo 4. It's all clearly explained in the Terminals. He didn't like the ancient human beings, but his entire persona; the one that Cryptum buildt up, defines him as a [url=http://www.thefreedictionary.com/didactic]didactic[/url] individual. Yeah, he's not just called the Didact for the lulz. [b]Prior to Halo 4 he was just a deeply conflicted individual.[/b] I guess people want it to be deeper than it is, that is was foreshadowed since he first entered the scene, so that some kind of profound revelation may bloom up, but there is nothing that implies that he would kill a human being in order to [i]solve his problems[/i]. He was the one who was against the Halo Arrays for -blams!- sake. Cryptum - Bornstellar opens cryptum - Captured by the Master Builder - Left on a Flood infested planet - somehow got away (Silentium?) - Halo 4 terminals, Forerunner council, [u]experiments with the Composer, kills human beings, Locked in Cryptum by the Librerian - Halo 4, Master Chief opens cryptum[/u]. The underlined part is when he is [i]corrupt/evil[/i]. [Edited on 11.17.2012 7:27 AM PST]
