Biography
The Gravemind was a hive mind manifestation of the parasitic Flood once sufficient bio-mass was assimilated to form the organism.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, the Gravemind (Inferi sententia, "Thinking Dead") was a gargantuan entity comprised of a combination of pure Flood Super Cells and the neural networks of the sentient beings absorbed within. Although its consciousness was distributed throughout all Flood forms in range, a Gravemind was typically, if not always, centralized within a large 'body' of Flood tissue derived from the initial proto-Gravemind. In most cases, this body was a shapeless, amorphous mass, typically with numerous tentacles that can reach many miles in length depending on the size of the Gravemind. The Gravemind was capable of rearranging this body as it wished.
Although multiple Graveminds have existed throughout time, sometimes contemporaneously with one another, they all share precisely the same obscure, complex and highly intelligent personality. It also appears to retain the memories of anything and everything it has ever assimilated, even in the case of near-complete annihilation of the Flood. When the Halo array was fired for instance, all Flood biomass in the galaxy was eliminated in its entirety, yet the Gravemind retained its personality and memories when next encountered thousands of years later.
