The Didact: A History | Lore and Theory

Begin to learn the Didacts journey and pick up a copy of Halo Cryptum; book 1 of the Forerunner Trilogy! amzn.to/3PWf6Fo

The Didact, for having so little time in the actual games, has quite the impressive amount of great lore on him. All that backstory presents such a grand number of dynamics to his past present and possible future. I likewise hope to see him return to the mainline elements of Halo as there is still much potential for him as a character. Imagine what all the knowledge he possesses could do for Humanity in the Halo universe.

I loved the Forerunner trilogy. Much respect for the Ur-Diadact

The didact was so noble, and since I read the forerunner trilogy I hope that he can be redeemed. That's probably my biggest hope from the new book, rather than him being another one note villain

Am I one of the only people that actually genuinely liked halo 4? I legit like it. It’s a good game

Every time I hear about the Forerunner-Human war, I'm impressed with our ability to do what they did.

RIP Greg Bear. His trilogy is still one of the most breathtaking and wonderfully written parts of the lore for this series, his impact on halo will always be gigantic.

I remember seeing HiddenXperia get really upset at the idea of the Didact being Composed, as potentially coming back as a Corrupted, Partially-Broken Forerunner Ancilla, and I dont agree with him that the Didact should stay organic, him becoming a Promethean himself is perfect in my opinion for his character. He became so obsessed with Composing Humanity and turning them all into Precursors, that his ultimate punishment is to experience that pain himself and lose his prestige title as 'the last Forerunner' Although other Forerunner have become Ancilla just to survive the Halo's, the should Didact become one out of his own arrogance, hatred and hubris. I guess we will see what new form he takes come Kelly Gay's new book, Halo: Epitaph...

I always got the idea that the didact was a foil to the chief in the sense that he represented what chief could have become if he never regained his humanity

I enjoyed all the main halo games/stories. Played in order is once in a lifetime experience.

Yessssss just in time

I need a game of that period, halo need this to revive as a master piece sci-fi saga

I hope at some point 343 leans into the ancient humans part of the lore, like maybe have an armour core in infinite based off their armour designs, or have chief encounter a settlement/ship of ancient human design.

Thank you for another great lore and theory. I love the intricate story-lore that Halo has about the Forerunners and especially the Ancient Humans [Archeohomina] and hope there's more eventually about them as well. I hope to be looking forward to more added about them. Thanks again!

I've always wanted a forerunner sage style pov chapter of the didact of when he scanned infinities systems in halo 4

Oh ! I thought it was an old video, as I am consistently now going through your channel's content. But it's a new one, right on time :D Outstanding work, I love these long lore videos. This channel and a few others are keeping the Halo flame alive and well, thanks for everything you do here.

The theory you gave near the end gave me chills.. can't wait for the novel and future story content in infinite.

You are the best lore channel on YouTube I swear. The way you make these makes halo constantly more interesting and other series could only dream of having a content creator of your talent

I love these videos, always listen to them while working. Please keep it up, you are one of my favourite halo youtubers i like your content more than the games even.

Great video too my man!!! Super deep, you had my imagination going wild!!! So many details I did not know
