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?

His story in th terminals reflects that of Durundal so i think his position may unfold later.

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 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).
