Just thought I'd throw that out there. Having "Eternal" and "Lasting" right next to each other never made grammatical sense, anyway. | Just thought I'd throw that out there. Having "Eternal" and "Lasting" right next to each other never made grammatical sense, anyway. | ||

He does include "lasting" when he gives his full name to Chakas and Riser in one of the first chapters (don't have my book on me), so I think it must be legit... My guess is that everyone else just shortens his name for convenience, it's kind of a mouthful [[User talk:SPARTAN-347|SPARTAN-347]] 23:03, 7 March 2011 (EST) | He does include "lasting" when he gives his full name to Chakas and Riser in one of the first chapters (don't have my book on me), so I think it must be legit...

Just remembered: [[ | Just remembered: [[Mendicant Bias]]'s page uses an image from ''Origins'' for its main pic. But here the Didact image from ''Origins'' was kept out of the userbox. There was also a time when we used ''Origins''' depictions of Forerunners for its main image. Then should the Bias pic be taken down or this Didact pic restored?

:It does but it's different from this article in that Mendicant is housed in ''"a number of different physical systems"''.

So the IsoDidact (or Bornstellar, I think) was twelve years old when he activated the Halo rings? If that's true, then in terms of age, he would be considered an infant in comparison with the older Forerunners. Don't know if the Ur-Didact's brevet mutation also affected Bornstellar's age though.

:In the strictest chronological sense, he would've been twenty-ish when he fired the Halos (there's a few years between ''Cryptum'' and the end of ''Silentium'', but no more than a decade); a mutation can hardly affect that. But given the fact he carries the Ur-Didact's pattern and, by extension, his consciousness and knowledge, he is effectively considered to be equal to the original in every way, including age. As [[Splendid Dust of Ancient Suns]] put it, (as a retort to [[Glory of a Far Dawn]]), ''"You idiot! He's got the imprint of the Didact! He's ten thousand years to your twenty!"'' Which does, in turn, raise a question about the Ur-Didact's age: if he literally means that the Didact is ten thousand years old, he would've been awfully young to be the supreme commander of all Forerunner forces in the human-Forerunner wars ten thousand years earlier. Maybe he's just speaking very generally to make a point.--[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 08:31, 29 September 2013 (EDT) | |||

After looking over his role in the series, while obviously his role as the Iso-Didact is a major part of his character, I feel like the article should be renamed Bornstellar. With it being his original personality, and he later returns to using his old identity after Silentium. So overall I don't think he spends that much time as the Iso-Didact and it should just be mentioned instead of being the page name.--[[User:Guardian117|Guardian117]] ([[User talk:Guardian117|talk]]) 07:36, June 15, 2020 (EDT) | |||
