Manipular was a Forerunner title given to adolescents. They were on average 2 meters tall. These young members of society typically followed their families' lineage going into their particular rate.[1] As Manipulars had not yet made the mutation to a first-form, they were identified as "Form Zero" in their names.[2] Manipulars formed divisional groups known as Maniples.[3]
Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting was a Manipular before his mutation by the Ur-Didact and subsequent transformation into a secondary Didact.[2]
Etymology
The term "Maniple" is derived from an ancient Roman military unit. "Manipular" is the adjective form of the word.
