So as always this kind of post is the most common in this forum. But truthfully I have managed to come up with a theory that is the most accurate on choosing the ancient enemy and how he came to be. and to fore warn Users who have not finished the book(s)there are so major spoilers below.(I know there is a spoiler bbcode but it makes more of a post if I dont use it. so use this as your warning)
With the knowledge of some other forum goers I have managed to adjust some of this puzzle with their knowledge. you know who you are and thanks. so finally the theory.
In cryptum Bornstellar and the Didact went to charum hakkor to find the timeless one. before they spoke to the beast the didact(more formally the ur-didact) had said to his followers “His words words are like poison and they take your mind and drive you corrupt. keep your distance”. during the conversation with the timeless one The Timeless One said “It is your task to kill this servant, that another will be freed” (Does he mean kill the chief so that cortana can be freed?). after a long conversation with the timeless one the didact eventually used a reverse timelock to age the creature so much that it shriveled up. Soon the ur-didact was captured by the master builder and was disposed of in some way(most likely abandoned but not killed)but before this event, he gave borstellar all of his memories and characteristics which eventually bornstellar became the didact. now this is more of the theory part now. so now that the didact is within his cryptum he was meditating on the words that were coming from the the timeless one and soon he went corrupt. he eventually went back to charum hakkor and used a reverse timelock to revive the beast and now the beast is in control of the prometheans and the didact.
Do you like it? cannot be fixed a bit? or does it need to be completely changed? what do you guys think
How in the world do you get any relation to john and cortana from the primordial’s statements when Modern man wasn’t even alive back then? The primordial was referring to itself as the servant the Didact must kill. I already posted in the last thread you made that Faber never said he was going to kill the Didact. Bornstellar is acting in the didact’s place he is just a fusion of the two. We have no idea or anything implying the didact is corrupt and he never went back to charum hakkor to “revive the beast”.
You might want to read the novels again and make it seem more like a legitimate idea than a fan fiction event.

you are mixing up Cryptum and Primordium. the Ur-Didact doesn’t kill the Primordial on Charum Hakkor in Cryptum - because it already had escaped, due to the activation of I07, at the time Bornstellar, the Ur-Didact & Co arrived.
Bornstellar-Didact kills the Timless One at the end of Primordium and that’s what the TO refers to with “kill this servant” (servant = TO), he/it says these words as the (Bornstellar-)Didact is about to execute him.
