Subject: inheritor... what does it mean???

For example; we have the forerunner rank, which of course we all know who they are.

Then we have the reclaimer rank, which master chief is.

And finally we have the Inheritor rank, which according to bungie is even higher up than master chief's reclaimer rank.

So what is an inheritor?

what are we "inheriting"?

early access codes to Halo 4 beta???(lol not likely)

Hey, now!

This is officially either the greatest or worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars. I'm going with the former.

One who Inherits?

As in one who inherits the Forerunner's place in the universe, perhaps.

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

You know that "reclaimer" and "inheritor" more-or-less mean the same thing in the context of Halo fiction, right?

but they don't mean the same thing literally.

reclaimer- reclaim- to take what was once yours

inheritor- inherit - to receive from another (aka inheritance)

But we're not supposed to take things literally in the Halo universe, it's like questioning the genetics of Polyphemus when he was conceived from Poseidon and Thoosa yet managed to end up a cyclops...

Reclaimer in Halo = humanity inheriting what was left behind by the Forerunners.

Master Cheif is not the reclaimer, He is a reclaimer. All humans are seen as reclaimers by oracles. Anyway, Inheritor means we are suppoesed to be getting stuff passed down from the forerunners, while Reclaimer means we are reclaiming what are forerunner fathers had ovbiously. it really can mean the same thing in this context.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

"Halo, it's divine wind will rush through the stars, propelling all who are worthy along the path of salvation!"

My hypothesis would be that you inherit the technology of the Forerunners. Or you're the controller of a Halo (Reclaimer).
