| The Forerunners were the ordinary, everyday, plain Jane human race, same as you, me, and Master Chief, before the first activation of the rings. They basically wiped out their own civilization, except for a few pockets, such as New Mombassa. Without access to all their technology, they had to start all over from scratch.
| |
| : Actually that is wrong, unless you can provide proof, if it ''was'' true, then what is the Librarian doing on Earth collecting humans, also if you saw the Halo comic "The Cradle of Life" you will see a human tribe leader watching the Forerunner machines creating the Portal to the Ark. On a side note, it is suspected that the Forerunner have 6 fingers including their thumbs, as on some terminals (not the ones for the Achievement: Marathon Man) a vaguely human hand can be seen, with a sixth finger.--[[User talk:ODST Recruit|ODST Recruit]] 11:46, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

| :Maybe the Precursors had seeded "human" life on multiple planets. The Forerunner could have developed much quicker, due to Precursors tech being left on their planet. Alternatively, maybe the Forerunner were supposed to be the next holders of the "Mantle", and the humans on Earth were a "backup" of sorts. The six finger had, wouldn't have to mean that the Forerunner had six fingers plus a thumb, it could possibly have religious significance. The Forerunner wouldn't have been informed of a backup race, in order to protect it. As the Precursors are considered "gods", even by the Forerunner, maybe its like the Ancients on Stargate SG-1, who "seeded" the galaxies with humans, or like the ending of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica, where a "higher power" seemed to have placed humans on multiple planets. --[[User:Nomad117]]

| ::On Stargate the they seeded life in the galaxy because a Great Plauge Ravaged the milky way and they took a ship (Atlantis) and fled to the Pegasus Dwarf Galaxy. they then returned after the plague had starved and put life back on planets and lived on earth with primative humanity. after they accended they left there legacy in the fact that we can activate their technology (ships, cities). in similar tech to forerunners they had a terraforming device known as the dakarra super weapon which seeded life on planets. however it work like a halo in vapourising life in a radius (once reprogramed at the terminal). however its smaller and only effects the planet and sevral kilometres outside its atmosphere. but still the principle is all the same can see some similarities in the stories when loosely described, eh?

| The Sergeant in question was Sergeant Major Avery J. Johnson from the first and second games and is thought to be a Spartan I. Something that should be noted that a Onyx Sentinel chasing Spartan-III G099 attempted to communicate with him, calling him a Reclaimer before reclassifies him as an "aboriginal sub-species" after he fails to respond, this is important because it means that any one with Spartan level Augmentation is the Forerunners(in humans anyway).

| I thought, that most reclaimers would be people who are sufficent in their ability to NOT get infected.
| |
| The Sargaent in Halo: The Flood was twisted out of shape beyond the use of the flood.
| |
| MasterChief has class 2 combat armour
| |
| Johnson has a disease that disables a infection form's ability to infect him.
| |
| However most of the people of harvest and commander keyes could probably be infected.
| |
| -Natdogg1
| |
|
| |
| i always thought that any human was a decendant of the forerunners, not just spartans. if it was just spartans, then explain how miranda keyes is a reclaimer, johnson is a reclaimer, and that sargeant from halo: the flood was a reclaimer.

| |
| - - Yeah, all human beings are descended from the Forerunners who survived the last (and only) Halo activation in the Ark. No human being, Spartan or otherwise, is any more or less a Forerunner than any other human being. "Reclaimer" just means that you're going to either reclaim the resources of the Halo (remember how the Monitor is always bragging about his library?), or reclaim the rest of the galaxy by using the Halo to destroy the Flood. I.E., a reclaimer is just a survivor of any given Halo activation who has returned to a Halo. Presumably the combat skin isn't actually required, just a helpful accessory if there are Flood around who will infect you without armor plating and an energy shield.

| Well, my theory based on information gathered from various parts claims that most humans are forerunners (as established before) because of their weapons. In the first halo handbook that comes with the game, it sais that covenant energy weapons were reverse engineered from forerunner artifacts. Opposite of energy=physical weapons=projectile weapons=human/forerunner weapons.

| |
|
| |
|
| |
| "Reverse engineer" means "find, take apart, and build a new one," it doesn't mean you're building something that's the opposite of what you reverse engineered. See, the Covenant discovered Forerunner technology and studied it, and that was how they've been able to build their own plasma rifles and such. Meaning the Forerunners had plasma rifles.
| |
|
| |
| The technology doesn't matter, though, because technology isn't hereditary.

| :I've had a personal theory that Reclaimer is the term for human being. My reasoning? We have the Precursors, who came before the Forerunners (hence "pre"), who came before the humans (hence "forerunner"), whom would be called Reclaimers because they are the "children" of the Forerunners, thus (re)claiming their constructs; the Halos.
| |
|
| |
|
| :I may not have written that very well, but let me re-explain. The Monitors (Spark and Tangent) both instantly refer to humans as Reclaimers. Spark found Mobuto, a regular human being, called him a Reclaimer, and initiated the same sequence that the Chief, also '''instantly''' labeled as a Reclaimed, went through. In Halo 2 Miranda Keyes is called a Reclaimer by Spark, and she is not special in any way, as Mobuto wasn't. And we have Tangent. The second he sees the Chief he says "A Reclaimer, here?"
| |
|
| |
| :What if Reclaimer is literally the Forerunner term for humans; knowing that they would eventually evolve and reclaim the Forerunner's status. And my final point; why didn't the Monitors ever approach a Covenant being and make it a Reclaimer? The Covenant were more than willing to activate the rings, after all. Yet they do not, instead calling them "meddlers." And we know from Halo 3 that only humans can activate the Halo arrays; Reclaimers.

| That theory is supported by several key scenes from Contact harvest, in which Illuminaries identify the planet of Reach as full of Reclaimers, and the first contact comes between an Unmanned Cargo Pod and a Kig-yar ship. Inside, the farming equipment is ID'ed as being Reclaimer. Later, the planet Harvest is read as full of Reclaimers, and the symbols rise as the people evacuate up the planet's space elevators [[User:198.49.81.52|198.49.81.52]] 05:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

| == Recommendations ==
| |
|
| |
| The article is looking much better than it used to. The only recommendations I will make are that the first half of the article saying that the Latin term for Reclaimer (Homo Sapiens Augeous) applies to all Reclaimers be re-assessed.
| |
|
| |
| The Latin term for Reclaimer is from the Beastarium, and the entry in question is very specific, talking about an individual, not a group. It is talking about Master Chief, and the entry is written in a manner of someone making an assessment of that particular SPARTAN-II.
| |
|
| |
| My suggestion would be to say that the Homo Sapiens Augeous be emphasized as talking about Master Chief specifically, rather than being vague about the overall context of the term.
| |
|
| |
| Given how that entry is written it should also be obvious that Bungie used the scientific classification as an excuse to put an entry about the Master Chief into the Beastarium.

| == Its Quite Simple ==
| |
|
| |
| After so many years of random speculation, it should be quite obvious what the term Reclaimer means. Reclaimer is a title, just like the terms Forerunner and Precursor are.
| |
| There is more to the role of Reclaimer than just activating the Halo Rings.
| |
|
| |
| They are meant to inherit everything that the Forerunner left behind, taking their place as the dominant force in the galaxy. The Humans were mostly likely given the title because of they were identical to the Forerunner, and that the Forerunner decided that they saw great potential in this isolated and primitive offshoot of their species. In contrast to their years of guilt and negligence, the Forerunner saw the Humans as untainted, pure, untapped, and righteous.

| In short, the Humans were seen as "Noble Savages." That is why they were chosen. They were the same as the Forerunner despite being far younger and more primitive, and their seemingly "pure" state is probably why Librarian and perhaps Didact gave them that title.

It has nothing to do with armor, Forerunner being smarter, stronger Humans, though that is partially true, etc. The latin scientic name is simply Bungie putting a unique listing for Master Chief. Again, its quite simple.)

| '''Or''', of course, 'Reclaimer' could be a title given to someone who reclaims something (i.e, the humans are entrusted to reclaim the Sacred Icons and activate the rings).

| I, personally, think '''that''' is more logical than 'Reclaimer' just being a title because humans look identical to Forerunners.

| Just finished playing through the Spartan Ops mission "The Hammer," and I noticed something odd. In it, the Elites are said to be looking for Reclaimers, referring to them as "humans that can use Forerunner technology." Reviewing the tags, Spartan Miller mentions that they were at it a while before they found (or not) a Marine that satisfied this requirement.
| |
|
| |
| So it seems that not all humans are Reclaimers? It fits with the Librarian seeding humans; she wouldn't have been able to imprint the geas on everyone. Furthermore, it could be conjectured that these genetic markers for being a Relcaimer are the indicators that a subject could make a Spartan.

| It's just something that occurred to me. Unless we have more evidence, I'm not sure about putting it on the page.--[[User:CaptainRaspberry|CaptainRaspberry]] ([[User talk:CaptainRaspberry|talk]]) 18:41, 7 October 2013 (EDT)
