Manipular

Manipular was a Forerunner title given to adolescents. They were on average slightly over two meters tall. These young members of society typically followed their families' lineage going into their particular rate. As Manipulars had not yet made the mutation to a first-form, they were identified as "Form Zero" in their names. Manipulars formed divisional groups known as Maniples.
