By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Okay drop it now. Fact is, there could be people here that get overwhelmed with specific terms. I know they're mostly in the Halo3 and Reach forums, but you never know.
Back on-Topic: Wolvers, I hope you know that Mendicant Bias and Offensive Bias are both AIs, not monitors? Did you not know that or did you just tweak reality to fit in better?
Read Contact Harvest, when the Minister of Fortitude, the Philologist and the Vice Minister of Tranquility enter the Dreadnaught, Bias is described as having a casing shaped like a tear (common with Monitors) but with 3 eyes - in this instance, the interpretation of Bias in Origins is correct.
Bias was a different kind of Monitor, created to monitor and organise the defences of the Forerunners in battle.We don't know enough to be sure.
When Mendicant was defeated by Offensive, he was "taken apart". Offensive put one piece in the Ark and one piece was locked in the dreadnought. We don't know for sure if that's Mendicant's true form. Sure, we can guess and make assumptions.
Let's just stop this, shall we?
I believe a piece was taken to Palamok too (just a little theory of mine), the hologram on Epitaph is speculated to be Mendicant Bias too. So we can assume fragments of Bias are all very different in aesthetics, in that respect we can say the way Wolvers interprets Mendicant and Offensive is correct - since there is no definitive aesthetic image of him.
