DUH! I should have known that, but I assumed since if they were just as powerful as the 10 Cyborg, maybe one of them survied.
(To become Master Chief!)
Why wouldn't Recon 54 be the Master Chief? The timelines don't seem to fit, but both Marathon and Myth are tales that have similar themes of reborn heroes. The Master Chief was also born in Elysium city. In Greek Myth, Elysium was a place in the underworld where noble souls came to rest, and I believe if they were ever reincarnated, they drank from the river Lethe to forget past lives. Lethe was also mentioned in Marathon. Other connections between the two include their Height. The character from Marathon's height in the engine's measuring units was 819 I believe, and the Master Chief's height is 70 3DS max units, or 7 feet tall. 819/7=117. The number 117 was also mentioned in the same Marathon terminal as the Heron Guard. The Heron Guard were immortal or nearly immortal (not sure which) heroes chosen every seven years in Myth. There's also the matter of that crazy comet that comes every 1,000 years, but I'm not sure how that would fit into the Halo universe. That seems to be more of a Myth/Marathon deal, although I could be wrong.
