== Description ==

Unlike the [[Promethean Knight]]s, which are controlled by the [[Composer|composed]] essences of formerly living beings, Soldiers are purely [[artificial intelligence]]-driven.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/canon-fodder-6-19-15-under-locke-keynote/a020824e-e55e-4802-b824-6d57ba6b1349/posts?page=1#post7 '''Halo Waypoint Forums''' - ''Canon Fodder 6-19-15: Under Locke & Keynote (post by GrimBrotherOne)'']</ref> Soldiers have a distinctly humanoid appearance in comparison to other Promethean constructs and [[Sentinel]]s;<ref>'''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''', ''page 256''</ref> they have one set of arms with small, five-fingered hands. Their main locomotion is provided by a pair of long, thin legs designed for agility and speed. Soldiers are covered in patterns of light and have a fire-like glow inside their heads. In addition, they are capable of [[slipspace translocation]]. Unlike the other Promethean units, Promethean Soldiers are also [[Promethean Soldier/Quotes|capable of speech]]. The Soldiers encountered in the modern era are known to taunt their [[human]] opponents in [[English]].<ref name="E3 2015 Gameplay Reveal">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwjwJ9Z_XYs '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 5 E3 Campaign Demo'']</ref>
