My possible Antagonists

[skratulla]

In my opinion there are a few options for discovering who the next antagonist will be and who won't.

 

 

First the didact, his parameters are uncertain, his symbol appears in the halo 4 E3 trailer, but now it's upside down and turned red instead of light blue, just as mendicant bias symbol changed color after going rampant, now, we don't really know if he will be the next antagonist or not, but if he is, I beleive there is a posibility that in some point in time he used the conformer process to transfer his mind and consciousness to some type of artficial vehicle enabling him to further his life span, maybe the black-orange sphere in the E3 trailer is being controlled by the didact, why he doesn't attack master chief remains a mystery (you could fill in the gap here), but you can see that the light scanning master chief is the exact same light that scans the infinity and also when the infinity is being scanned you can see the rampant didact symbol. Or he isn't the antagonist but rather he is in combat mode just as penitent tangent from delta halo in halo 2 and is on a mission but needs RECLAIMER help, this is from the aurora cygnus site:

 

Welcome, I was about to fire upon you then i realized who you are, we have been seeking you and "HE" is looking for answers for what happened, but be cautious with him and tread carefully.

 

 

If you explore the site carefully you can clearly see that aurora cygnus is communicating with cortana.

 

 

 

Now to my next possible antagonist.

 

The contender class A.I. 05-032 Mendicant Bias. Now, we all know he wen't rampant and attacked his "makers" but was then defeated and his compound mind broken into it's component sections wich were then scattered throughout the few remaining ships of offensive bias's fleet for transport. We now also that from the events regarding adjutant reflex and the i love bees site that mendicant has been recovering his component sections, this is also evident from the end of halo 2 where cortana fights an unknown but familiar A.I. (mendicant), and upon returning to earth and then to installation 00 were the last shard of mendicant´s compound mind was installed, he was finally complete again, the problem here is that he now tries to help master chief by seeking atonement and stating that he would help master chief, but we don't know for sure what happened afterwards, so think, maybe by being complete again he could have re-entered rampancy, and begin a new attack plan but know against forerunners and reclaimers, now check this, this is from the aurora cygnus artifact site:

It has deceived you for too long, it has deceived my makers for too long.

 

I was the one they trusted, I was the one that saved their lives countless times.

 

It turned them against me, how could they have not have seen the truth.

 

This so called devoted construct has taken what I should have earned, claimed what I had shaped.

 

The damage is too great for it to be swept aside.

 

I now have something that the construct failed to protect, and they will know for what they had should have known.

 

To me it sounds like mendicant's revenge for being defeated, and on the http://artifact.at.ua/ site you can clearly see that aurora cygnus is trying to deflect an attack from a known foe:

 

>/[DATA ANALYSIS COMPLETE].

 

Not good, not good at all, it appears it has reestablished a conscious state.

 

>/[sENDING RECOVERED TRANSMISSION TO 502-XRT]...

 

>/[APPROXIMATELY 13 HOURS FOR TRANSMISSION TO ARRIVE].

 

>/[ERROR CODE: ///]

 

>/[TRANSMISSION FAILED TO REACH DESTINATION 502-XRT]

 

>/[sEARCHING OTHER AVAILABLE INLETS]...

 

>/[sEARCH COMPLETE/: 1 INLET AVAILABLE/: 505-XRT INLET AVAILABLE]

 

>/[DIVERTING TRANSMISSION TO 505-XRT]

 

>/[ERROR CODE: ///]

 

>/[TRANSMISSION FAILED TO DIVERT]

 

It's preventing them from knowing it's conscious.

 

Now from what I see aurora cygnus knew "IT" was once conscious, then it wasn't, and then it regained it's conciousness. Who else but a broken compound mind put together again.

 

 

My 3rd and final antagonist would be ....... Cortana

 

And I base this opinion again on the aurora cygnus site, at first you can see that A.C recognizes cortana as a friend, but suddenly a virus starts an attack on the conventus facility (requiem planet in my opinion), forcing A.C to leave, but the thing is we never get a response from cortana, all we get is the attack from this unknown entity, which ultimately takes over the facility, now remembering the halo 3 ending, the first half of the forward until dawn wich contained the arbiter makes it through the portal and out, but the part where the chief is, doesn't quite make it out and is sent to an unkown location leading to requiem, coincidence? I think not, due to cortana's previous blind jumps into slipspace in which she always manages to come across some new discovery, I believe Cortana makes the arrangements to arrive at requiem, but in order to do this she has to be looking for something, what that something is I don't know.

 

But if anyone takes the time to read this post and feels like filling in the gaps as well as spoting any possible error on my facts, agrees or disagrees with anything written here please feel free to comment, thank you for you're time.

 

Oh and sorry for bad grammar, I'm actually mexican and not used to the language.

The Didact:

Everyone seems to think he will be the enemy in Halo 4. Personally I believe this to be false. sure the Didact disliked humans and thought they were a violent race and a threat to the Mantle, but he hardly classifies as an "ancient evil". I'm also against him being Composed and becoming Rampant, as he was nowhere near the Composer when he activated the Halo Array. so the chances of him being an Ancilla are very low. I believe the symbol we see at the end is the general symbol for the Promethean Rate, of which the Didact belonged to. Which also explains why the Forerunner Constructs that guard Requiem are title Promethean Knights, Crawlers, Watchers, etc.. It may also be because the Didact ordered the construction of the shieldworlds.

 

Medicant Bias:

I have to disagree with this as MB is described as a teardrop shaped monitor with a green "eye-light" and not a ginormous ball. MB somewhat passed his Rampancy stage after being in pieces for a very long time in which he thought about what he did and how he betrayed his Makers. I do not think he would attempt another attack. It is possible he was destroyed when the Lesser Ark was destroyed, but it is unknown.

 

Cortana:

Highly unlikely as she is not "ancient" nor "evil", but she will be having difficulties with Rampancy during the game, but will most likely reach Metastability.

 

 

My theory:

Personally I believe this new antagonist will be a Metarch-Class Ancilla.

As it says here an Ancilla is talking about how Aurora Cygnus took it's place in protecting something. The Ancilla thinks that it was betrayed because it feels that it did more to help it's Makers, the Forerunners, than AC and the praise that AC gets is wrongly given. Because of this, this Ancilla goes Rampant and the Forerunners are forced to shut it down. Why they didn't destroy it is unknown, but now this Ancilla is awake once again and wishes to exact revenge. I believe the something that AC was protecting was the shieldworld, Requiem. Which makes the Rampant Metarch-Class Ancilla the previous caretaker of Requiem.

I'm not sure where this conversation sparked up from and I'm not entirely sure what it is about. So, I'm going to leave it be.

I totally get this, I hadn't think of this before, but it makes sense, because the promethean knights while being A.I, they are still "promethean" in some way, so could this mean that the promethean A.I is being controlled by the ancient evil?

[Thecrazypsycho]

I have strong belief that the Didact is the enemy in Halo 4 and I'll tell you why.

 

If you watch the tenth terminal from Halo:Anniversary, this is what happens:

 

 

 

 

343 Guilty Spark: "Vexation! 100,000 years of careful maintenance and diligence! 100,000 years protecting the galaxy's future! 100,000 years spent fearing that our sacrifices - my sacrifice - was in vain!"

 

343 Guilty Spark: "And 16 hours after I finally make contact... This so-called Reclaimer decides to blow it all up."

 

343 Guilty Spark: "Oh, I am not pleased. Just as I finally discover our plan to save the galaxy succeeded, the ancient enemy is unleashed once more."

 

343 Guilty Spark: "Why those Reclaimers refuse to follow protocol is quite mystifying. Destroy my Installation, will they?"

 

343 Guilty Spark: "I shall renew efforts to make contact with the others rings immediately. This "Covenant" may be useful to me, although I don't think they fully understand what they claim to seek. Still, it makes no difference to me what they believe, as long as they do what must be done. Hmmm... I sound like her!"

 

343 Guilty Spark: "But what I would not give to have even a single company of Prometheans here right now. They would most certainly restore order with their trademark lethality, although...that would mean he would have to be here, too. And without the Librarian around to temper his rage, well... These Reclaimers might almost prefer the Flood."

 

-A flash of light appears in the distance as the Pillar of Autumn's reactors detonate, blinding out the stars above. As the blast engulfs the forest, the Didact's symbol briefly appears.

 

 

 

First, 343 Guilty Spark says he sounds like "Her". He is referring to the Librarian, who is suggested that she died as the Halo effect swept over Earth, although 343 Guilty Spark believed she in fact survived in some form. After the Human-Covenant War, a duplicate of 343 Guilty Spark uploaded his mind into an ONI ship and set a course to the Librarian's apparent location.

 

Second, 343GS says he wishes he had a company of Promethians, but if they were there, "HE" would have to be there too. Here 343GS is obviously referring to the Didact, as he was in charge of Promethians. And with the Librarian either dead or lost, she can't control the Didact's rage, and contempt towards humanity. Also, my personal belief is that the Didact or the Forerunner would be our enemy because their belief in the Mantle and their supremacy in the galaxy was basically denied by The Timeless One, the last known precursor, who claimed that humanity was to succeed the forerunner and be the inheritors of the Mantle.

 

Lastly, at the end of the terminal's video the Didact's symbol is shown in red, exactly as in the new trailer.

 

 

Also the tagline: "An Ancient Enemy Awakens", could be only one of three things: Either the Didact/Forerunner, the Precursors, or an unknown enemy.

It isn't the flood as they were somewhat eliminated at the end of Halo 3 and I doubt will return as the main enemy, it definitely isn't the covenant, and my belief is that it isn't the Precursors as they wanted us to be their successors and they are most likely extinct, or at least not in our galaxy anymore. Frank O'Connor even stated that the Forerunner were going to be more prominent going on in the Halo story. My only conclusion is that it is the Didact who is the enemy in Halo 4.

 

 

Feel free to dismiss anything I said or correct any mistakes.

I believe the master builder because Thedidact is good since bornstellar is thedidact, the original didact died, plus in the E3 trailer cortana said him instead of it meaning that they've already met him so why didn't the didact just kill the chief, plus the master builder wasn't confirmed dead.
