The Promethean Knight in Halo 5 is Dr. Tillson from Halo 4?? And also the Knight from Escalation AND the root cause for the Covenant and Prometheans to end up fighting???

And she is forced to suffer for eternity in that cell? Holy moly, this is a fate worse than death. It's a minor, but damn depressing revelation.

As a promethean lover, I’m so glad we’re getting stuff on them again. I’d love to have them back someday soon. Hell, at this rate I’d take a Promethean-themed Operation

[gagethemagi]

Possibly an unpopular opinion but I freaking loved the Prometheans! This audiobook was very cool! I’ve been very impressed with the Halo Waypoint short stories you guys’ have been putting out lately. Thanks so much, I appreciate what you do!

knight tilson was the running joke for a Halo friends video, so glad they made it canon

[CloneCommanderCrater]

Seems like the Halo Friends finally got Knight Tilson in canon.

[Daniel-Cascante]

So glad to have Promethean related content after all this time.

Edit: This my new favorite Waypoint Chronicle, not only because I really like Forerunners and this one focuses on a Promethean Knight; but because of the use of both visual and auditory assets that add to the atmosphere of the story, because of the character driven narrative, and because of the connection of different events along with the confirmation of the current status of a previously introduced character.

The stories that interconnect with the games are amazing. There needs to be more like this and flipped around so you learn more about the story in the game but get more details in a book and vice versa. The feeling of the reveal on who this Promethean was was awesome.

Ultra-rare Promethean acknowledgement. Bring them back!

[youngman]

That ending revalation was unexpected... And peak.

[darkspark]

The Promethians deserve a comeback. Revamp the designs in halo infinite’s art style and polish their gameplay. Halo 5 improved them a lot on the knights but messed up the crawlers. They were so close to perfection, they just need one more shot

Thats... thats a Knight?? i haven't seen one in yeaaaars

[theedeliveryman]

Praise to the Hierarchs! We are getting more forerunner/Promethean lore 🙏🏻

[danielefabbro]

What the Didact have done to Humans will not be forgotten.
If the Librarian gifted Mankind with a precious gift, the Didact cursed thousands of Humans using the composer.

I always read these first and listen after. This was honestly the best read yet. I could imagine the comic panels as TDS-009 was on Oban and Atkis IV and then once it pivoted to the cell in Halo 5, I knew exactly where it was. This was great in a whole new way because it tied so many visual elements into the story itself! It also leaves interesting lore implications open. Song of Retribution took the basically Promethean repair bay… so where is it now!

[UNIONUSA]

Am i the only one who would love for the Prometheans to return as an enemy?

[TOPDAWGG]

Wow that was awesome the ending gave me chills. Please try to implement story notes like this in future titles so we can experience this in game. This was awesome.

[Caluben]

Finally got around to listening to this and man does this cook. As a huge fan of Halo 4, SpOps and Escalation, this was a great listen.

And finally, an explanation as to why some very rare Knights scratch their heads in irritation!

[Betito]

Please make another anthology book with these

[themostselfishman]

Haunting, and beautiful. I love how many threads you have managed to tie together in a satisfying manner.

Another great Halo Waypoint Chronicle! Hopefully the Prometheans make a return to the games! Definitely were a unique enemy that played differently than the Covenant / Banished! Even with the collapse / defeat of The Created in Halo Infinite, hopefully we'll find out what happened to them in the current or future storylines
