- "I have no requirements. I am a facilitator. The Array requirements are paramount."
- — Adjutant Reflex on their duty as a Facilitator.[1]
A Facilitator-class ancilla is a type of ancilla created and employed by the Forerunners.[2] Ancillas frequently serve as sub-monitors for installations of the Halo Array, working for the facilitation of Array requirements.[3][1] Facilitator-class ancillae may also be referred to as executors.[4]
Overview
Facilitators are sometimes referred to as "adjutant monitors"[5], reflective of their naming scheme of Adjutant [X], with the [X] taking the form of a random adjective. They are formed from the minds of living Forerunners rather than being created from-scratch as a full artificial intelligence (as in the case of Adjutant Revendicate[4]), though are somewhat limited in their capabilities when compared to other ancilla classes such as the Caradon-class and Archeon-class - or even full monitors.[6]
Facilitators are typically assigned specific subsystems of a given installation - such as a Cartographer - to keep watch over. Should the installation's monitor become unfit for duty, the sub-monitor takes over and resumes their functions (albeit in a limited capacity).[7] Sub-monitors may also serve as station attendants, rail attendants and manage other administrative and custodial functions.[8]
Known ancilla
- Adjutant Reflex - An ancilla whose operation was the facilitation of Array requirements.[1][9] It was terminated, with its body commandeered by Mendicant Bias on June 19, 2007.
- Adjutant Resolution - Sub-monitor of Installation 07.[7]
- Adjutant Revendicate - Sub-monitor of Installation 07, formed from the mind of the Auditor.[4]
- Adjutant Veridity - Sub-monitor of Installation 07.[10]
- Epsilon submonitor - The sub-monitor of Epsilon Resource Facility 001 on the Ark. Destroyed by a MAC round along with Intrepid Eye.
- Installation 05 sub-monitor - Responsible for the Flood containment facility of Installation 05.
