In an interview with MTV, Mr. Frankie O'Connor let slip that there is something about the Arbiter's character that is still unbeknownst to us.

Quoth the Frankie: "There's an aspect of the Arbiter's character that is still secret to this day and will remain so for good reason."

Any takers? This could mean either a secret about the actual character of the Arbiter (as in something dealing with the person of the Arbiter as a whole) or with the "character" or personallity of the Arbiter.

My best guess is that Arbiter is not completely swayed that there is no truth left in the prophecies, that despite his campaign against Tartarus (between whom there was already a great deal of enmity) he may yet fall victim to false promises.

Dunno. What do you think?

i dont know exactly what it is but i think it has something to do with tha ark for some reason... like maybe its him in one of those banshees in the trailer or something like that. and yeah i know that the banshees are "empty" which only supports my theory.

or it could be that he has allied with ackerson. just a guess.

Sorry, I seriously was writing the post the same time you were, and when I posted the subject I saw that you had beat me to the punch. A thousand apologies oh-quick-to-accuse-one ;).

But you have to admit, mine was more eloquent.

Well, he and the Prophets all have English/British accents...

I do not know what his secret is. I don't know if it's me or not, but he has a certain presence about him. Sounds weird, but that's how I feel about him. He somehow seems "wiser" than the Master Chief.

The Arbiter's Secret is . . . . . he has a son back on High Charity!

He got lucky with some female Elite, he used the excuse ' Honey, I'm going off to war and well..... I'm a virgin' etc etc... you get my point

  • 07.24.2006 8:51 PM PDT

Just remember... I keep it real...

What if he was just messing with us, he knew that people would go crazy over the news. Wouldn't it be funny, if he just made it up? I tihnk it would. But if there is a scret, me guess is that everything he has been fighting for has been a lie by the Prophits. They used everyone like henchmen to do their dirty work.

You should know by now Frankie doesn't let anything slip. Nor does Bungie for that matter. I suggest everyone speculating re-read the interview. You'll quite possibly have a laugh or two about your theories.

Yes we know he says later in the article that people would be dissecting the bit about the Arbiter, and for all we know the whole Arbiter bit was just ruse to prove a point.

Be that as it may, though what he said may not have been a verbal blunder or crack in his impenetrable wall of secrecy, I firmly believe that it was, in his own calculated way, a purposefully leaked hint to spawn debate and speculation. Whether this proves to be for his own personal gratification or not, it nevertheless provides in the least a topic worthy of reasoned discourse.

Nor, for that matter, do I feel that simply because our hypotheses might prove laughable that we must completely renounce their assertion.
