  I loved the Forerunner trilogy. Much respect for the Ur-Diadact

  The Didact, for having so little time in the actual games, has quite the impressive amount of great lore on him. <br>All that backstory presents such a grand number of dynamics to his past present and possible future.<br>I likewise hope to see him return to the mainline elements of Halo as there is still much potential for him as a character. Imagine what all the knowledge he possesses could do for Humanity in the Halo universe.

  The didact was so noble, and since I read the forerunner trilogy I hope that he can be redeemed. That&apos;s probably my biggest hope from the new book, rather than him being another one note villain

  I always got the idea that the didact was a foil to the chief in the sense that he represented what chief could have become if he never regained his humanity

  Every time I hear about the Forerunner-Human war, I&apos;m impressed with our ability to do what they did.

  RIP Greg Bear.<br>His trilogy is still one of the most breathtaking and wonderfully written parts of the lore for this series, his impact on halo will always be gigantic.

  I remember seeing HiddenXperia get really upset at the idea of the Didact being Composed, as potentially coming back as a Corrupted, Partially-Broken Forerunner Ancilla, and I dont agree with him that the Didact should stay organic, him becoming a Promethean himself is perfect in my opinion for his character. He became so obsessed with Composing Humanity and turning them all into Prometheans, that his ultimate punishment is to experience that pain himself and lose his prestige title as &apos;the last Forerunner&apos; Although other Forerunner have become Ancilla just to survive the Halo&apos;s, the should Didact become one out of his own arrogance, hatred and hubris.<br><br>I guess we will see what new form he takes come Kelly Gay&apos;s new book, Halo: Epitaph...

  I didn&apos;t know all this about him. &nbsp;Starting off as a noble character and then being corrupted by a gravemind is tragic. &nbsp;I think he is due a huge redemption arc.
