: What is Mendicant Bias?
: Now, we know that he is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) who was created by
: the Forerunners. Yet, a previous lore account seems to contradict that
: with a recent statement by Frankie doing so as well. Hermetic teachings
: state “All Truths Are But Half Truths All Paradoxes May Be Reconciled” – I
: believe that is the case here. Mendicant Bias is and is not a Forerunner
: creation."
: If i can get this community on board with this article then the only thing
: left is for Frankie himself to comment! I'll eagerly be waiting for any
: responses.
It's an interesting theory, but I don't think MB's hatred needs to be the result of being a human enslaved in a Forerunner construct—if you buy the Gravemind's thinking then that's enough to make the Forerunners a blight on the galaxy already. The theory is essence a problem of its own creation, rather than the solution to why MB turned on its former masters and atoned.
With that said, I do think the questions Halo 4 raised with regards to why the Didact needed to compose individuals, and some lines directed to Cortana, could suggest some more interesting theories regarding Forerunner technological limits, and while the Librarian seemed interested in humanity following the path of Chief and Cortana. In which case, MB being derived from a human is a tangential point, and not a final declaration. I've been meaning to write an article about that too.
