Manipular

Revision as of 08:24, April 20, 2017 by The Divine One (talk | contribs) (Added average height of Manipulars extrapolated from the height of Path Kethona Forerunners who stood at average 1.5 M tall which was said to be 2/3 an average Manipular's height)

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.
