[Spoiler] Potential revelation regarding Campaign story/character

I haven’t finished the campaign yet, but I’m a decent way into it.

Found an audio log where the Harbinger is telling - a human, I think - “I shall talk and you shall listen”. The place we’ve heard that before; meeting the Gravemind in Halo 2 with the Arbiter.

Sooo; I do wonder if this is just a reference or is the Harbinger a Precursor? Or have a direct tie to the Precursor?
Considering Bungie’s use of “O’ Brother Mine” or some such to allude to a similar twist in Destiny 2 (I don’t remember the exact nomenclature for the species and the quote) I’d be itchin’ to believe it’s the former.

Maybe it’ll be cleared up for me as I advance the story, I just wanted to drop this observation here for discussion while it was fresh in my head.

I think 343 confirmed the harbinger was not a precursor before the game came out.

Ah, you’re right. Actually now that I recall; she infers something else about her origin prior to that.

Finish the campaign, we know what the harbinger is.

Is she an endless?

Will do! Think I’m on the last stretch now

I disagree. We have no idea what she is. She was trying to free the “endless” whoever they are… but she never said she was one.
