Oh my God... there must only be a few people on this thread that read the books and invest in the universe. The Prometheans were the highest rate of the Warrior Servant class in the Forerunner eccumene and were lead by the Didact. Basically, Didact=General and Prometheans=Marines. Practically everything points to the Didact. The books, the CEA terminals, everything. As for the symbol differences, not sure where the other comes from, but if it means anything it could be a difference between the original Didact and Bornstellar, which I highly doubt. As those who read cryptum and primordium know, the original Didact, who has now basically taken over Bornstellars conscious, had contempt for humans, even referring to them as "pets." Though he did have respect for his enemies such as with the Lord of Admirals, there was still some negative feelings. Probably the biggest fact that could make him a plausible enemy is when the prisoner of Charum Hakkor told him that the Forerunners were not worthy of The Mantle and it is now humanities turn to be tested of worthiness through the flood. Even the Halo 3 terminals shows that he held strongly to The Mantle so his making of John-117 an enemy could be to test if Humanity truly is strong enough to hold the mantle.
And the cyborg-like creatures in Halo 4 are referred to as Prometheans, in that they are servants of the Promethean order. We are all well aware of the Didact's standing as a Promethean and what they are.
And I'd say that the Promethean Forerunners are more Spartan than Marine.
