Before the activation of the Halo Array, Florians had extensive contact with other human species, and one, Morning Riser, served as a guide to a young Forerunner looking for Precursor artifacts.
Overview
They possessed more "primitive" characteristics than modern humans, including a reduced mandible, lacking a chin, and a smaller cranial capacity and proportionally smaller brain, though were still intelligent. Their most outstanding feature was their small stature, standing at a little over a meter tall.[2] Florians were remarkably long-lived; Riser was around 200 years old when he met Bornstellar, and he was still "just a youngster" according to Chakas.
The Didact described the Florians as "peaceful, yet full of cleverness" and asked them to be preserved following the Human-Forerunner wars. After the wars, Florians were favored by the Forerunners as a servant species, often amusing and instructing their young.[3]
