Probably.

He's the only one that's in the 'behind the scenes' sequences.

There's nothing about other spartans in the After Dawn series, nor in any of the other videos about them. They ARE mentioned in the last episode, and they appear in that video, but other than that....

I think the Chief is the only one who makes an appearance and is a constant character.

I know what you mean. The war with the Insurrectionists are talked about in a few books, and the games focused on the Human-Covenant War. But there wasn't much (except the book "Contact: Harvest" that talked about the beginnings of the war.

Contact Harvest was my second favorite Halo novel, after Fall of Reach of course.

I just hope that they eventually introduce an AI similar to Durandal in the series. Because super AI are boss, and Durandal makes Cortana look like a sorry excuse of a character.

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

Durandal in Marathon went so damned rampant that he decided that his ultimate goal would be to ascend to godhood and outlive the universe, and used the Cyborg to combat actual Edlritch deities.

That's the bossness I'm talking about. Durandal was uber rampant.
Meanwhile, Cortana informs us that the giant metal glowing cave with lights is an artificial construct.

Well no shit Sherlock?

A cave made of iron ore and inhabited by glow-worms.

Or a perfectly geometric cave with ornate lights and a hardlight bridge.


Yeah. Definitely isn't artificial. Then she got turned into Princess Peach in Halo 3.

Well, since the marines would spend the majority of the time on the infinity as it searches for new life, maybe the camouflage is to reflect on that.
