"The measure of a man is what he does with power"-Plato
"I have walked among men and Angels for 3,000 years.
Time has no end, no beginning, no purpose.
I wander the earth, seeking forgiveness for my horrible crimes against God, and man.
I live to see death, destruction, evil over the light.
But the light cannot be the extinguished.
I live in the prison of my own demise.
I am lost in time."
This is what is said in the Mausoleum suite in the Halo 2 ost.
We all assume that it's the Gravemind, but: "I live in the prison of my own demise". In Cryptum wasn't the last Precursor locked away being the LAST of his kind?
And "I am lost in time", it is described as the 'Timeless one' and time to the Precursor would be lost locked in a prison over the ages.
"Time has no end, no beginning, no purpose"
With the Precursors being able to live millions of years, maybe their view on time is different to everything else's.
"I learn to see death, destruction, evil over the light"
The Precursor-Forerunner war, the Precursors may have seen them as 'evil over the light'. Light being the precursors.
"But the light can not be extinguished"
Maybe he is talking about himself wanting revenge on the Forerunners or whomever holds the Mantle.
Discuss.
