It seems he isn't a being out flesh anymore which is why he survied that long,poor Chakas,what happened with you :(
It actually excites me ,that we will meet the characters from the FR trilogy in the reclaimer trilogy.
I bet Bornstellar appears too as he is the narrator in Cryptum,which means he is still alife like Chakas .
I wish FR trilogy characters would feature somehow in the reclaimer trilogy, namely the ones mentioned above but greg bear will have to have a good excuse for them surviving the halo firing that went on during the assault on the maginot sphere.
A reasonable chunk of the Forerunner civilization survived and left the galaxy, we've known that for years. It isn't hard to believe these characters could have too.

I think the word "True" needs to be taken in the same sense as "Last" was in "Last Spartan alive" back in the days.
What I think is going on, is Chakas somehow is still alive during the days of the new Trilogies. Probably somehow brought in the same state the Didact was in during the start of Cryptum.
And the first real decendand of ancient Humanity he encounters and probably knows of would be Chief (presumably). Hence the "last true Reclaimer".
Because, quite frankly, there is nothing that can logically make a Spartan more "Reclaimer" than any other Human seeing as every Human is a Reclaimer (H3/Contact Harvest etc). So Chakas must either just think that is the case (much like we though Chief was the last Spartan), or this conversation takes place late in the upcoming conflict and Humanity is wiped out except for the one he speaks to (unlikely).
Humans are Reclaimers yes, but Chakas' quote leads me to believe the Spartans represent the first generation of "true" reclaimers in the human race. By that I mean to say, they're more like the Forerunners.
The Forerunners were a race who were quite similar to the Spartans. At the advent of adolescents, give or take, a Forerunner would go through a biological augmentation to better suit themselves for their job. These 'mutations' varied depending on class, but the idea is the same: generally, you'd become super strong, extremely tall and large, have access to unique armors, and had some superior cognitive function, found in the wisdom past down from the mentor as well as access to the Domain.
Forerunners, too, are also associated with an AI that seems to reside in the back of their mind (Born, in fact, was so similar in the regards of mutation and AI to John, I got the inkling he will play a role in the Reclaimer trilogy somehow and the connections were deliberate).
Anyway, Spartans are quite similar to the Forerunners in the above regards. Perhaps a "true" reclaimer is someone who fits these augments. I don't know for sure, just speaking as the thoughts come, but as far as the Chief knows, he is the last Spartan alive, so if he told Chakas something like "there are none like me anymore" Chakas could glean from that he is the las "true" Reclaimer.
