| ==Biography==
| |
| The Strategos served as one of the mentors of the Ur-Didact during his earlier years, and was a loyal member of the [[rate]] of [[Warrior-Servant]]s. After the Ur-Didact's exile by [[Faber-of-Will-and-Might|the Master Builder]], the Strategos was able to successfully evade the [[Builder]]s' attempts to convert him to [[Builder Security]] - retaining his loyalty to his rate.{{Ref/Reuse|CFDecennial}} After the Ur-Didact's awakening and subsequent travel to [[Janjur Qom]], the [[Confirmer]] asked whether the Didact had brought the Strategos or [[Grammarian]] with him - which he had not done.{{Ref/Reuse|HC20}}
| |
| | |
| When the Ur-Didact was eventually recovered from his interrogation by the [[Gravemind]], the two reconvened and began to work to find alternate solutions to the [[Flood]] threat.{{Ref/Reuse|CFDecennial}} As such, the Strategos was one of the parties present to witness and guide the Didact's failed mutation; and the one to suggest that the [[Composer]] may be the Forerunners' last hope.{{Ref/Reuse|CFDecennial}}{{Ref/Reuse|H4T5}} As such, the Strategos willingly submitted himself to the Composer, resulting in his [[essence]] being used as the template for the central command pattern that directs the [[battlenet]] of the [[Promethean Knight]]s. These command patterns are capable of taking form in specialised [[armiger]] bodies, observed and recorded by the [[United Nations Space Command]] under the eponymous name of "[[Knight Strategos]]".{{Ref/Reuse|CFDecennial}}
