"Didact, if the Composer is our final hope against the Flood, no Promethean would resist."
— The Strategos, affirming his willingness to undergo composition.[1][2]

The Strategos was a Forerunner Promethean who served alongside the Didact, the Confirmer and the Grammarian.[3][1]

Biography

The Strategos served as one of the mentors of the Ur-Didact during his earlier years, and was a loyal member of the rate of Warrior-Servants. After the Ur-Didact's exile by the Master Builder, the Strategos was able to successfully evade the Builders' attempts to convert him to Builder Security - retaining his loyalty to his rate.[1] After the Ur-Didact's awakening and subsequent travel to Janjur Qom, the Confirmer asked whether the Didact had brought the Strategos or Grammarian with him - which he had not done.[3]

When the Ur-Didact was eventually recovered from his interrogation by the Gravemind, the two reconvened and began to work to find alternate solutions to the Flood threat.[1] As such, the Strategos was one of the parties present to witness and guide the Didact's failed mutation; and the one to suggest that the Composer may be the Forerunners' last hope.[1][2] As such, the Strategos willingly submitted himself to the Composer, resulting in his essence being used as the template for the central command pattern that directs the battlenet of the Promethean Knights. These command patterns are capable of taking form in specialised armiger bodies, observed and recorded by the United Nations Space Command under the eponymous name of "Knight Strategos".[1]
