Master Builder was the highest rank attainable by a Forerunner Builder, those most powerful in Forerunner society in terms of intelligence, wealth and political power.[1] The Master Builder served as the chief of the entire Builder rate and all guilds within it.[2] The Master Builder was also the only person in the ecumene to know the location of the crystal from which the slipspace flakes for Forerunner slipspace drives were taken.[3] The rank could be revoked by the Council and a Master Builder could be brought to trial by a Supreme Mantle Court, formed by the Council.[4]
Faber-of-Will-and-Might was the last known Forerunner to hold the title around 97,445 BCE.[5]
