The '''Monitors''' were highly advanced [[Artificial Intelligence]] constructs created by the [[Forerunners]] 100,000 years ago to service and maintain the [[Halo Array|Halo]] installations and to ensure that the deadly [[Flood]] stayed imprisoned. Monitors are extremely intelligent, yet completely devoted to their original function, and are zealous about containing Flood; Monitors have been known to turn violently on their allies if the latter should attempt to violate their containment protocols.
