Riser

Morning Riser (full name: Day-Chaser Makes Paths Long-stretch Morning Riser), commonly shortened to Riser, was a human living on Earth in approximately 100,000 BCE. He, along with Chakas, was part of a collective of guides based in Marontik. Riser was a Florian, a member of a diminutive species of human known today as Homo floresiensis.

Biography

Prior to 100,000 BCE, Riser's family, driven by a geas implemented by the Librarian, had spent many generations attempting to discover the secret that lay within the center of Djamonkin Crater. After the Forerunner Manipular known as Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting arrived in Marontik, Riser joined Chakas and the young Forerunner on an expedition to the crater, where Bornstellar found the Didact's Cryptum. Here, thanks to their geas, he along with Chakas sang a pre-programmed sound code that authorized the opening of the Cryptum. This awoke the Didact, whom they later accompanied to Charum Hakkor and Janjur Qom, the San 'Shyuum homeworld, in the hope that it would spark a memory implanted by The Librarian that could help the Didact. On the way, they also began discovering memories of their ancestors who fought in the human-Forerunner wars, imprinted as part of their geas. On Janjur Qom, Riser was imprisoned by the Master Builder along with Chakas and the Didact.

Later, Riser and Chakas traversed a war-torn Halo installation, where they would face the Flood, rogue AIs, along with the "testament" of the last Precursor known as the Timeless One.

Personality

Riser was very cheerful and took a liking to food. He was generally friendly towards Bornstellar and was greatly saddened by the memories provided by the geas.
