Are prometheans forerunners?
i dont get it
whats the difference between a promethean and a forerunner? why would they be called prometheans if they’re just forerunners?
I liked it better when they left the forerunners to your imagination as a mystery in the halo universe
The prometheans are the warrior class of the forerunners. The Promethean knights in the game are rumored to be the souls of dead prometheans transferred into machines.
The Forerunner have a caste based system. The Prometheans are the highest form of the Warrior-Servant rate.

oooohhhhh
well that makes sense

Souls in a scifi game??? -.-
Here you go, OP. You may find this helpful.
according to the wiki, forerunners were friendly toward humans?
why, then, is halo 4 all about fighting prometheans?
on a completely unrelated note, 343 completely butchered the commando helmet…
The forunners fought a war against us and de-evolved us back to simple industrial tech levels. That said we were almost at their tech level and would have had a chance if it werent for us fighting the flood on the other side of our space. But yes the promethians were created by the forunners, they are the warriors of the didact, who is on Requiem…im not sure how to peg him, in The Thurday War prone to drift says he hated humanity, but im pretty sure other sources say that after he discovered the cause of us encroaching into forunner territory and starting the war (the flood) he felt some pity. guess we just have to play to find out. but yes the promethians are creations of the forunners, beware the battlewagon.

Friendly? Hardly.
The Forerunners and Humanity habited the galaxy side by side, similar in technological advancement. But they avoided each other. Humanity stuck to its territory on the outer edges of the galaxy, the Forerunners dominating the middle.
The Flood invaded Humanity’s space, forcing them into a war. Near the end of that war, Humanity, in a desperete attempt to get away from the Flood infected worlds, invaded Forerunner territory to get “clean” planets.
Seeing this as an act of war, not desperation, the Forerunners quickly went to war with Humanity, forcing them into a two front war.
When Humanity was beaten, its admirals were composed (their durances and “souls” archived and preserved) and their entire species was deevolved. Humanity was stripped of all its territory and technology, being forced back to Earth and pushed into caveman status… completely deevoltionized.
In general, the Forerunner-Human relationship was uneasy at good times, and they really avoided each other. There are some that appreciated and liked Humans, like Bornstellar and the Librarian, but in general, Humanity was looked down on and not referred to kindly at times.
i hope 343 still keep in mind that prometheans are actual forerunners, i hope they dont begin to establish into the story that the knights are the prometheans i hope they still show that the knights are just denfense forces built by them.
If that rumor about forerunner soles being transported into the knights it true then i dont think this new style of story telling is gonna appeal to me. I think thats too over the top and is pushing the boundaries of the abilities too far, even for a civilization such as the forerunners.

prometheans are the warrior caste of the forerunners there are the prmetheans,lifeworkers and enginers. those are the different castes. humans and forerunners were in existence with eachother some 150K+ years ago and it was an uneasy relationship. however a couple years before the human-forerunner war humanity and the san-shyuum discovered an abandoned vessel in the outskirts of their space and boarded it on this vessel was a spore like dust that they eventually discovered could be used to tame and domesticate animals and so they used it on a dog like creature (the name escapes me) and after 100+ years of doing so the dog thing started growing mutations and such and was the first iteration of the flood form. eventually humanity was pushed into forerunner territory the forerunners seeing this as an act of war not desperation acted quickly and percisely attacking the humans not even knowing of the flood before the time humans were de-evolved due to their war with the forerunners they devoloped a cure for the flood parasite and were using it to take back their worlds but eventually knowing they would not defeat the forerunners in a last ditch effort and a big middle finger to the forerunners they destroyed every and all evidence of the cure except for the fact that the humans made one. then you go into the forerunner-flood war which ended with the deatha dn rebirth of all life in the galaxy which before this end the librarian(the highest rank of a lifeworker) encoded humans as the inheritors or re-claimers of the forerunner empire. thats all from halo:cryptum

He’s right, they preserved the “Souls” of the didacts children, their final memories in robots in cryptum, so we assume that’s what happend to all the knights in Halo 4.
All prometheans are forerunners but not all forerunners are promethean.
> <mark>All prometheans are forerunners</mark> but not all forerunners are promethean.
Except for the Cralwers and Watchers.

Basically, when you take someone’s personality/memories out of its body and put it somewhere else, it’s a “soul”. The Forerunners and Ancient Humans used it in a poetic sense, sort of.

You get the idea though yeah?

Yeah, the technical term in “genetic imprint”. It’s really similar to how humans make AIs, scan the brain of a deceased donor, or illegally clone it from a live donor in Dr. Halsey’s case when she made Cortana.
Difference is in the Forerunners and ancient human’s case they are fully aware of who they are yet when the UNSC makes AIs the AI doesn’t. They do have latent memories of the donor brain’s memories, but they are a different person.
