Toward the end of the [[human-Forerunner wars]], circa [[106,538 BCE]], the Primordial was discovered by [[Yprin Yprikushma]] on a small planetoid near the edge of the galaxy, hibernating inside a [[stasis capsule]]. It was then transported to Charum Hakkor thousands of meters beneath the arena. There human researchers found a way to revive the creature. At a later date, the captive's prison was sealed with a [[timelock]] as a further precautionary measure.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''pages 236-238''</ref>

Upon conversing with the creature, the Didact discovered that it was — or claimed to be — the last Precursor, and that the [[Forerunner]]s had [[Forerunner-Precursor war|rebelled against]] the Precursors. The Didact resealed the Primordial's prison and revealed this information to no one except the [[Librarian]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 342''</ref>
