{{Quote|Bornstellar is marked to become a great Builder, just like his father — but this Manipular has other plans.|''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''}}
'''Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting''' (commonly known as "'''Bornstellar'''") was an untried [[Forerunner]] [[Manipular]] whose family and ancestors came from a long line of [[Builders]], the highest and most powerful [[Forerunner caste system|rate]] in Forerunner society.<ref name="Cryptum cover">'''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''', forward jacket description</ref> 

==Biography==
Of all his [[Bornstellar's father|father]]'s children, Borstellar 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 assigned [[ancilla]] taught him of the near-mythical [[Precursor]]s. Three years later, Bornstellar sneaked aboard a supply transport and traveled to [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]] to hunt for Precursor relics. In the city of [[Marontik]], he met two humans, [[Chakas]] and [[Morning Riser]], who would serve as guides in his search for Precursor artifacts.<ref name="chapter1">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''Chapter 1''</ref>

His guides led him to [[Djamonkin Crater]], where he found a Forerunner [[Cryptum]] surrounded by inactive [[War Sphinx]]es and a [[Baffler|baffler]]. After penetrating the baffler, he opened the Cryptum, revealing the [[Didact]] in suspended animation within. 

During his subsequent three-year travels with Bornstellar, the Didact performed a brevet mutation on him to allow him access to the [[Domain]]. Shortly afterward, the Didact transferred all of his memories and knowledge to Bornstellar, essentially merging his personality with the young Forerunner. The Didact was later executed at the hands of the [[Faber|Master Builder]], making Bornstellar, for all intents and purposes, the reincarnation of the Didact. He would go on to meet the [[Librarian]] (now his wife) aboard Installation 00.

==Physical description and personality==

Presumably like all Manipulars, Bornstellar was young, inexperienced, and was close to the age of becoming an independent member of society. However, despite his noble class, he was quite rebellious in nature, even to the point of defying the history and trade of his family as builders.<ref name="Cryptum cover"/> Because of this, Bornstellar had become increasingly interested in the [[Precursors]], an ancient race of sentient beings far predating his own people.<ref name="chapter1"/>

Physically, like other Manipulars, Bornstellar bore a moderate but noticable resemblance to Humanity than he did to other Forerunner forms, such as a Second or Third-Form.<ref> Halo: Cryptum, Chapter 1, page 28.</ref> He possessed a thin, pale fuzz over much of his body, such as his arms, along with the partially-furred body and hair that was a notable feature of his kind.

After his brevet mutation at the hands of the Didact, he began to resemble those of the Warrior-Servant caste than he did of the Builders, with grayish-white skin, thicker, a more muscular physique, and thicker, harsher facial features. Even with these characteristics, he still bore traces of the Builder caste, resulting in him possessing a blend of physical features of both.

==Trivia==
*Bornstellar is the main protagonist of the [[Greg Bear]] novel ''[[Halo: Cryptum]]'', the first of three novels in ''[[The Forerunner Saga]]''.
