Promethean Knights (Halo 4)

Promethean Knights (Halo 4) skin description

The inspiration for my username(s), the Promethean Knights (Halo 4 version). Blue Lancer Blue Battlewagon Orange Orange Lancer Orange Battlewagon Orange Commander “They're Forerunner robots. Hard light in battle armor. What can they offer us? Nothing but trouble, doctor. They're simply killing machines.” — SPARTAN Gabriel Thorne A Knight Battlewagon, one of the types of Promethean inhabiting Requiem. The Promethean forces encountered by UNSC forces and Covenant Remnant insurgents on Requiem were primarily mechanical in nature, and encompassed various classes of leader units known as Knights, support drones known as Watchers, and small, pack-oriented Crawlers designed to overwhelm the enemy from different directions. Significantly different from the original Prometheans, these constructs were created by the Didact toward the end of the Flood conflict; in order to render them immune to Flood infection, the Didact used a machine known as the Composer to convert his warriors into digital intelligences; the warriors willingly accepted and were relieved of biological form. However, as the Prometheans' numbers continued to dwindle, the Didact used the Composer on a population of humans transplanted on a Halo Installation to create more of these mechanical Prometheans. Visually, unlike most Forerunner technology which is chiefly angular and geometric, these Promethean units have a more curved, almost biomechanical aesthetic. Various Promethean units, including Knights and Watchers, have distinct heads embedded in their mechanical carapaces, complete with stylized facial features; this feature was shared by the War sphinx used by the original Prometheans.
