While Riser was held in stasis aboard one of the Master Builder's transports, the ship was attacked by the forces of the [[Ecumene Council]], who opposed the Master Builder. The ship Riser was on crash-landed on [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 07]], along with three Forerunners, one of whom was held captive by the others. While the two were uninterested in Riser at first, the imprisoned Forerunner explained Riser's importance due to his ''geas'', saying the human was more valuable than the Forerunners themselves. As a result, the Forerunners took Riser with them.<ref name="story">'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 215-224''</ref> | While Riser was held in stasis aboard one of the Master Builder's transports, the ship was attacked by the forces of the [[Ecumene Council]], who opposed the Master Builder.

Although the Halo took heavy damage, Riser survived the passage of the planet. After the ring was reclaimed by the [[IsoDidact]]'s forces, Riser was transported to the [[greater Ark]]<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 348''</ref> and later returned to Earth, having fully recovered from the physical and mental trauma caused by the removal of his imprint. He lived on Earth for several years, until the Forerunners called to all humans who were imprinted with Librarian's geas. He was taken for preservation aboard the [[greater Ark]] and later, when the facility became compromised, he was among the small number of humans who were successfully transported to the [[Installation 00|lesser Ark]] by [[343 Guilty Spark]], his old friend [[Chakas]] in the form of a Forerunner [[monitor]].{{Ref/Reuse|rebirth}} | Although the Halo took heavy damage, Riser survived the passage of the planet.

Upon arrival at the second Ark, Riser was awakened by the Lifeworker [[Growth-Through-Trial-of-Change]] and given a new [[geas]] with knowledge on the new state of affairs. Riser quickly assumed the role of a leader among the humans aboard the ship, informing them of the circumstances as they were awakened. Riser and the other humans were transported to the surface of the lesser Ark, where the Forerunners had constructed artificial villages for them to inhabit. Riser was not satisfied with the village or the landscape, quickly recognizing them as wholly unnatural. Upon arrival, his newly-provided geas activated and provided him and the other humans, to their great horror, images of the Halos' effects on the galaxy. After Riser and the other humans had settled in their temporary home, they visited other nearby villages in hopes of finding lost friends or relatives. Riser found [[Vinnevra]] in a neighboring village. She asked him about Chakas but Riser did not have the courage to tell her the truth.{{Ref/Reuse|rebirth}} | Upon arrival at the second Ark, Riser was awakened by the Lifeworker [[Growth-Through-Trial-of-Change]] and given a new ''[[geas]]'' with knowledge on the new state of affairs.

Several days later, the IsoDidact came to visit Riser in his hut. Despite not having seen him since his mutation's initial stages, Riser immediately recognized the Forerunner as Bornstellar. Riser confronted the IsoDidact about his decision to fire the Halos and expressed disappointment about the way the adventurous mentality of his youth had given way to the grim pragmatism of his new persona. He also queried the Forerunner if the Librarian had survived; to Riser's sorrow, the IsoDidact stated that this was unlikely. At Bornstellar's request, Riser, along with several other humans, accompanied him to the sentencing of [[Mendicant Bias]].{{Ref/Reuse|rebirth}} | Several days later, the IsoDidact came to visit Riser in his hut.

Upon the Forerunners' departure, Riser reflected on the previous events and the momentary harmony between humans and Forerunners, comparing all of it as a long and strange dream. He was satisfied at future of his people and their new home, even though he understood that life would run its natural course and war and suffering would be inevitable. He had previously chosen to request his people's relocation on the island partly in order to get away from the many ghosts which he believed must now roam aimlessly across the earth. However, in his newfound contentment, he decided that he would rather build walls, as his ancestors had done in the [[Djamonkin Crater]] for centuries, to guide and honor the spirits of the dead instead of hiding from them or driving them away.{{Ref/Reuse|rebirth}} | Upon the Forerunners' departure, Riser reflected on the previous events and the momentary harmony between humans and Forerunners, comparing all of it as a long and strange dream.

According to the [[Librarian]], Riser and Vinnerva were left to live out their lives in peace after being returned to Earth, their ''[[geas]]'' silent.{{Ref/Novel|Ren|48}} | |||
