Now, I only have one function: to help you, Reclaimer, as I always should have done.
-Guilty Spark to Master Chief
Humans, as illustrated by both Mendicant Bias and Guilty Spark, are Reclaimers. This implication was made very clearly in Halo 3, again by Guilty Spark:
You are the child of my Makers. Inheritor of all they left behind. You are Forerunner!
While arguments are made that Spark must be rampant to think Chief is physically a Forerunner, the statement implies a larger connection. Namely that, being the "child of [his] makers," Chief (and Humanity) are the inheritors of The Mantle. In this regard, they have assumed the role of the Forerunners in the galaxy, and are, in fact, reclaimers.
Look for this to be fleshed out in gory detail with the release of Halo 4 with connections to Greg Bear's trilogy.
the mantle that you are referring to does not exist, and it is possible that nearly all of you are mistranslating the term "reclaimer" just like the covenant mistranslated it.
Humans are probably "reclaimers" because the forerunner left orion space so they could reclaim the worlds they lost to the forerunner and flood.Everybody making a religion out of this and the mantle are on the same thinking pattern as the covenant.
