the idea that you were "the last of your kind" fighting away the covenant on halo was floated around in abstracts for years, back to 99(?) when halo was first revealed- i'm sure, well before they had a very good Bible around that actually had other spartans still alive.
i'm gonna say it was a great press line that was latched onto early on, and couldn't be killed. And certainly to kill it, would be to admit that otheres had in fact survived. Which brings us to Halo_Freak231's post:
For all MC and everybosy else knew, you are the last of your kind.
the Fall of Reach hinted at the survival of others, but for all intent and purpose, it just sounded better to say "You're the last one left."
I'm actually suprised there wasn't bigger fanfare when the 3rd halo book came out bluntly saying there are plenty more Spartans left. ::shrugs::
Kenobi: "that boy is our last hope."
Yoda: "No. . . there is another."
Kenobi: "surely you don't mean . . . "
Yoda: "Yes . . . Avery."
