It is very much possible that some of the Cortana Moments may have been by Mendicant himself. Since Mendicant was on the Dreadnought, it is likely he may have said things like: I Have defied Gods and Demons. or I am your shield I am your swords. Suggesting that he will help the Chief achieve his goal. Furthermore, the closing cutscene of the level "The Covenant" where a hologram of Cortana is seen walking. This may very well be Mendicant Bias himself. Directing the Chief, since Cortana has no control over The Ark's hologram systems nor could she have known what specific button that can be pressed to see the newly constructed Halo. | It is very much possible that some of the Cortana Moments may have been by Mendicant himself.

Could Mendicant Bias have had a hand in the collapse of the Slipspace portal at the end of Halo 3? Is it possible that he had a change of heart and tried to make the Master Chief stay behind for some reason? | Could Mendicant Bias have had a hand in the collapse of the Slipspace portal at the end of Halo 3?

Mendicant Bias will have a hand in Halo 4 (don't deny there won't be a one, CLIFFHANGER ENDING!). His story in | Mendicant Bias will have a hand in Halo 4 (don't deny there won't be a one, CLIFFHANGER ENDING!). His story in th terminals reflects that of Durundal so i think his position may unfold later. This most likely isn't the last we've heard of him. --[[User:Ajax 013|Ajax 013]] 00:54, 23 October 2007 (UTC) | ||

Well, bungie said Halo 3 was the end of the trilogy, not the last continuing (not prelude) game, so I think they are trying to trick us with small technicality like that.[[Special:Contributions/98.196.212.50|98.196.212.50]] 06:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC) | Well, bungie said Halo 3 was the end of the trilogy, not the last continuing (not prelude) game, so I think they are trying to trick us with small technicality like that.[[Special:Contributions/98.196.212.50|98.196.212.50]] 06:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC) | ||

I think, then, that some changes should be made based on these meanings of the icons (Not Bias, Bias, and Not Rampant, respectively), but I'm not sure what those changes are. I guess a good starting point would be to rename [[:File:Mendicant Bias.svg]]; we need not rename [[:File:MendicantBias (Rampant).png]], as [[Talk:Main Page#Terminal Icons|it will (hopefully) be replaced with a suitable vectorized replacement]], which can be named appropriately. <span style="background:#AADDAA;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%"><b> | I think, then, that some changes should be made based on these meanings of the icons (Not Bias, Bias, and Not Rampant, respectively), but I'm not sure what those changes are.

:I must amend my comment. I think that the first icon represents the Forerunners' central government, or some other official military organization. If that is the case, then it fits with the pattern -- the government may well be considered an "author". <span style="background:#AADDAA;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%"><b> | :I must amend my comment.

::I don't think that is the meaning of these icons. The first stands for Mendicant and Mendicant only, it is his original icon. The second one stands for Rampant Mendicant and Rampant Mendicant only, it s his icon for when he became rampant.

:::A blue version of the second icon marked communications in which he clearly wasn't rampant (such as a journal entry in which he was proud of the Forerunners that were on his ships<sup>1</sup>), and the red version of the second icon was only used in combination with the first icon. If the second icon denoted rampancy, then why would it be used with the first icon, which according to you does not denote rampancy? And why would such a pairing only be present on communications where Mendicant Bias was clearly not rampant? | :::A blue version of the second icon marked communications in which he clearly wasn't rampant (such as a journal entry in which he was proud of the Forerunners that were on his ships<sup>1</sup>), and the red version of the second icon was only used in combination with the first icon.

:::I must also point out that Mendicant Bias was ''not'' rampant during his communications with the Gravemind (where a blue version of Icon 2 was used). He had no delusions of god-like power and had no animosity toward the Forerunners. He was simply curious about what Gravy had to say. Only at the very end<sup>3</sup> of his talks with Gravy did Mendicant Bias become rampant; this is why his icon does not change in the Gravy conversations. And in Mendicant's final communication with the Forerunners, in which he reveals his rampancy, no icon is used at all. | :::I must also point out that Mendicant Bias was ''not'' rampant during his communications with the Gravemind (where a blue version of Icon 2 was used).

I have already looked at the terminals many times and all I'm saying is that I am just telling you the theory that I am sticking to.There is no reason to get upset. But I did say the third one, being Mendicant's Redeming icon. And I never said your theory was bad. Your theory is all right, but I am sticking to the other theory, ''AND'' I never said you wrong, you could have said this in a nice way. - lolo 8:12 September 14, 2009 (UTC) | |||
