Prometheans (Halo)

Revision as of 07:03, 20 July 2015

The Prometheans are a group that features in Halo.

History

They decided to willingly allow themselves to be subjected to the Composer though the Didact's new form could not be converted by the process. It was said that no Promethean would refuse the procedure if it was the only way to defeat the Flood. Once composed, they accompanied their leader and began battling the Flood where they managed to inflict casualties on their foe. However, by this point, the Flood was simply too vast and the Didact came to believe that the only option was to increase his own forces numbers. As such, he decided to use the Composer on the devolved human populaces that the Librarian sheltered on the Halo's with the Didact feeling this was a suitable punishment for their crimes in the past. This led to the composed essences of the humans being added to the ranks of the Prometheans.

Overview

Composed Prometheans were able to move through space under their own power and did not require any form of life support systems. They were able to depart from ships and attack enemy craft where they used their arm mounted weapons to burn through enemy vessel hulls in order to force entry.

Among the composed Prometheans, there were various types that included:

• Promethean Knight :
• Promethean Lancer :
• Promethean Battlewagon :

A supporting unit within the Promethean were the Crawlers that were four legged constructs that were armed with various energy weapons.
