Prepare to be mind -blam!-:
Precursors: a super race of technological gods that are at one with the universe.
They create the Forerunners and evidently humanity. We are brothers with the Forerunners.
Forerunners, using the only technology that can harm Precursors (Neural Weaponry) destroy the Precursors in this galaxy and take over.
One Precursor is left behind.
The Precursors, as revenge, (because the Forerunners are not the rightful heir to the Mantle, we are) send the Flood to destroy the Forerunners. Unfortunately, humanity's interstellar empire catches it first, and we are deevolved by both them and the Forerunners in a two sided war.
The Precursor left behind, or Captive, is several hundred million years old, and is the one who knows about the Flood.
It is highly likely this Precursor will become what we so lovingly call the Gravemind.
Now, read Halo: Cryptum to be even more mind -blam!-. I'm outta time here, so cant explain more.
My word, that IS a mind-blam!-.
