Who else thinks that Mendicant Bias will assist Master Chief on his journey ?
An interesting thought… What is your justification? He is both a traitor to biological life and a created being. I could see him with the created… Has he recently resurfaced in the side lore in something I’m unaware of?

He was talking to Chief in the Terminals of Halo 3, but he seems to be more of a mysterious AI. I know he turned against his creators and sided with the flood, though I get this feeling he may somehow pair himself with Chief to assist him in Halo Infinite, I believe that he knows that Cortana is in the wrong and will try to help Chief in stopping her.

At the end of Silentium (and in some additional media that takes place just after Silentium), Mendicant is tried for his crimes against the Mantle and sentenced to a life with a single thought: atonement. In the spirit of atonement, he helps the Chief throughout H3, as seen in the terminals. It is still unknown who brought the SoF to the Ark, but a popular theory is that Mendicant made it happen to prevent the Banished from asserting control over the galaxy via the Ark, and to help humanity attain the Mantle. It seems to me that Mendicant is determined to help humanity in any way he can. So if he shows up in Infinite (big if), then I imagine he would be on the side of humanity and not the Created.
There’s also the question of whether or not Cortana is infected with the Logic Plague. I believe that she is. So Mendicant would be even more motivated to stop Cortana since he knows how the Logic Plague works and what it did to him.
I don’t think this will happen. In the final terminal of Halo 3, MB talks to Chief, and basically says that he expects to die on the incomplete replacement Halo. And he seems fine with it; he believes his sacrifice will be an example of his atonement. In a way, MB has already helped the Chief, as the terminal implies that MB keeps the ring stable long enough for Chief to make his way to the Forward Unto Dawn and escape.
Relevant quotes:
> You don’t know the contortions I had to go through to follow you here, Reclaimer.
(This suggests that MB had actually migrated his matrix to the ring.)
> And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can to keep it stable - keep you safe.
(This suggests that he knew Chief’s plan and knew that being on the incomplete ring as it fired would be fatal. Also suggests that MB actively helped Chief during the level.)

I read silenium years ago but like Bear’s other two books found it memorable for all the wrong reasons and ultimately forgettable as a result. Though I do love the story of bias and h3’s terminals I’m just not sure I buy it. It would be fun yes. I mean we have even seen him in game once (Halo 3 multiplayer multiplayermap). Though not sure if he is detatchable. I’m hoping we see a new monitor on zeta (zeta Halo has not had it’s monitor discovered yet) as well as a return of exuberant.

Exuberant Witness was a highlight of Halo 5 for me. I’d love to see more of her. And yeah it’s definitely up in the air because we know so little about Mendicant post Forerunner-Flood War, but it would be a nice ace up the sleeve for humanity since they are fighting a practically unstoppable force.
Does anyone happen to know how to get directly in touch with the director of player voice on requests for Halo: Infinite?

No idea, but your best bet is to go looking in Conventions, you’ll most likely find those type of people there.

What do you mean by Conventions exactly? And where would I find that?

They’re usually special events that travel the U.S. where you’ll be able to find Directors, Celebrities, Game designers, Voice Actors and such. They happen every year.
