The IsoDidact was often forced to face doubts as to his capability in comparison to the Ur-Didact, in particular after the latter's return. This greatly upset him, as in his own mind, the IsoDidact genuinely felt that he was the Didact, while Bornstellar had become a distant and entirely separate identity.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 246-248''</ref> Like his original, the IsoDidact rarely showed any fear, although he openly admitted to being afraid to confront the Primordial, due to what it represented and the potential implications it may have had on his deepest-held beliefs.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 353''</ref> The subsequent revelations shook him to the point that he was unable to contain his fury and executed the creature out of anger.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 366''</ref> | The IsoDidact was often forced to face doubts as to his capability in comparison to the Ur-Didact, in particular after the latter's return.
