Manipular
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Manipular was a Forerunner title given to adolescents. They were on average slightly over two meters tall.[Note 1] These young members of society typically followed their families' lineage going into their particular rate.[1] As Manipulars had not yet made the mutation to a first-form, they were identified as "Form Zero" in their names.[2] Manipulars formed divisional groups known as Maniples.[3][4]
Notable Manipulars[edit]
- The Ur-Didact was a young Manipular when his parents were executed for leading the Kradal conflicts, his name was changed, and his memories of his early life were erased.[5]
- Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting was a Manipular before his mutation by the Ur-Didact and subsequent transformation into a secondary Didact.[2]
- Bornstellar's son
- Adequate-Observer
Etymology[edit]
The term "Maniple" is derived from an ancient Roman military unit. "Manipular" is the adjective form of the word.
