Is this idea far-fetched? I was just thinking about all the poetic things he has said particularly the "I am a monument to all your sins..." quote. He speaks very deeply for a Flood form, even a highly advanced one. Perhaps he is the missing link to the Forerunners or infact an infected Forerunner?

He's the only Flood form that speaks....

Infected forerunner, that could be, because we don't know what they look like, but Gravemind is the colmonation of many, many, many, many, bodies rolled into one form....For instance, Graveminds "teeth" are infact skulls from different absorbed entities.

"Not really. They eat their wounded."
"Just like chiropractors!" Caboose - funny -blam!-

"If god is love, then you can call me cupid" Sarge.

Whispering marine - "you'll give away our position!"
sarge - "I'll do as i damn well please!" (kills grunt with sniper rifle)
elites rule, MCs r cool

you don't know how old he is though, maybe 100'000 years or more. meaning he could consist of forerunner beings.

I never noticed his teeth before. In fact, the only thing I ever noticed is that his head looks like a combination of the Chief's helmet and an elites head...

I think he is Flood.
Probably something like a very, very far version of what Keyes was to become.
This is why I think he is Forerunner:

-He talks as the only Flood.
-He knows almost all secrets about Halo: How can something except for the Forerunners know that??? After all, before the MC discovered the "truth" about the Halo's no other living creature knew that thruth (except for Truth maybe)

There are also things against that:

- He tries to get off of Halo, and that is what the Flood forces life to do.
- He doesn't look like a creature that can move on its own.
- He looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to big to have someday been a 2 mtr long Forerunner.
- If he is Forerunner, why would he want to help the Flood?? Surely as a Forerunner he must have been wise enough to stop the Flood instead of getting so far consumed to help them off of Halo???

But I guess we get to know in H3.
The possibility of him being Forerunner seems very plausable though!
