Didact-one who teaches or is didactic

didactic-used to teach

My question is, what did he teach? or what is he going to teach? and who?

I had originally thought the same thing too, but then Cryptum said he was involved at the Forerunner War College, which is where he got the nick name--a "professor" perhaps?

His name apparently means teacher or something. Let me check Cryptum real quick...

The Chief is the Didact, the true reclaimer - he'll be made aware of (taught) his destiny through the personality imprint of the Didact which was imprinted onto the Chief (geas).. justsayin

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

You do realize the Didact will probably be in Halo 4, right? As will the Librarian.

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

Living in the past is a luxury none 
of us can afford. We must learn from 
it, but we cannot live there. It is 
impossible to plan for the now
the present is ever fleeting. The 
future is where we must live the 
future is what we must plan for.

That is certainly a possibility, I have been leaning more towards the librarian being an imprint of some kind inside Halsey and possibly a similar thing for the chief via the didact. As mentioned by Halsey (gene expert) john has extraordinary genes, even compared to the other spartan II's

... blimey, you've preemptively taken the words right out of my mouth. I also think this imprint was carried on with Cortana, and although Halsey meeting Chief 'germinated' the imprint, it wasn't until she cloned her brain and made it an AI that the imprint 'bloomed' (as with Chakas' 'Lord of Admirals' imprint not 'blooming' until he arrives at Installation 07).

I think that's the source for the odd romance which has always been behind Chief and Cortana. An epic 110,000 year old love which transcends death, time, species and even flesh in its strength.

We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.

Lolno. Read the book and not the wiki.
OT: Wasn't it his nickname from the war college or something?
