Armiger Soldier
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
A Soldier, occasionally referred to as a Promethean Soldier due to the constructs' operational origins,[1] is a class of the armiger developed and primarily utilized by the Forerunner Prometheans.[2][1] Classified as bipedal combat platforms, Soldiers were deployed during the human-Forerunner wars and the Forerunners' war against the Flood.[2]
Description
Unlike the Promethean Knight, which are controlled by the composed essences of formerly living beings, Soldiers are purely artificial intelligence-driven.[3] Soldiers have a distinctly humanoid appearance in comparison to other Promethean constructs and Sentinels;[4] they have one set of arms with small, five-fingered hands. Their main locomotion is provided by a pair of long, thin legs designed for agility and speed. Soldiers are covered in patterns of light and have a fire-like glow inside their heads. In addition, they are capable of slipspace translocation. Unlike the other Promethean units, Promethean Soldiers are also capable of speech. The Soldiers encountered in the modern era are known to taunt their human opponents in English.[5]
