|birth=[[97,464 BCE]] {{Ref/Note|It is stated in ''Halo: Cryptum'' (p. 225) that Bornstellar was "barely twelve" years old at the time the novel is set. The Halo Array was fired in 97,445 BCE, but the events of ''Halo: Cryptum'' take place ''at least'' seven years before this based on an approximate chronology that can be derived from statements in ''Halo: Silentium'' (see [[97,445 BCE]]). Assuming the events of ''Halo: Cryptum'' took place in 97,452 BCE (no more than seven years before the firing of the Halo Array) Bornstellar would have been born approximately twelve years prior to that year. The year was confirmed in the [[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]].}}

Bornstellar's family and ancestors came from a long line of [[Builder]]s, the highest and most powerful [[rate]] in Forerunner society. Of all his [[Bornstellar's father|father]]'s children, Bornstellar was the most rebellious, refusing to follow in his footsteps and become a Builder. As a result of this, his father sent him to learn discipline in a step family of [[Miner]]s on [[Mars|Edom]] in the distant [[Sol system]]. There, his [[ancilla]] taught him of the near-mythical [[Precursor]]s. Three years later, Bornstellar snuck aboard a supply transport and traveled to [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]] to hunt for Precursor relics. In the city of [[Marontik]], he met two [[human]]s, [[Chakas]] and [[Riser]], who would serve as guides in his search for Precursor artifacts.<ref name="chapter1">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''Chapter 1''</ref>

Sometime after the firing of the rings, Bornstellar was present on Zeta Halo with the [[Grand Edict]] and [[Despondent Pyre]] discussing the imprisonment of the [[Xalanyn]]. {{Ref/Quest|Id=Conservatory|HI|Connections|Conservatory}}

[[File:Didact.jpg|thumb|170px|[[Cortana]]'s visual interpretation of the IsoDidact.{{Ref/Note|Since the pictured Forerunner individual is shown activating the Halo Array in ''[[Origins]]'', it can be inferred that this is Cortana's imagination of the IsoDidact. However, as stated by [[Frank O'Connor]] in the episode commentary, the visuals shown in ''Origins'' are not entirely accurate as a result of Cortana's incomplete data stores and her progressing [[rampancy]]. The Didact's depiction in ''Origins'' has only five fingers per hand; canonically, both Didacts had six fingers on each hand. His armor most closely resembles the first set of armor the Ur-Didact is shown wearing in the ''Halo 4'' terminals. As an additional discrepancy, the individual in ''Origins'' is seen activating the Array from a Halo installation's control room, accompanied by two other Forerunners, whereas the IsoDidact fired the rings from Installation 00's citadel.}}]]
