Mendicant Bias - Game Ready

Completed November 2024, I created it using an old model I made years ago for 3d printing and used Blender, Zbrush, Substance Painter, Topogun, and Photoshop to create a game ready model. Rendered with Blender 4.2 Eevee.
Inspired by Levi Hoffmeier's Illustration of the character for the Halo Encyclopedia.

05-032 Mendicant Bias is Contender-Class Artificial Intelligence appearing in the Halo books and know to have a background presence in Halo 2 and Halo 3. It is considered to be the most advanced type of AI in the galaxy outside of Precursor constructs. Mendicant Bias was tasked with overseeing Forerunner defense against the Flood parasite. However, it soon switched sides after it's encounter with the precursor known as the Primordial. This resulted in the swift collapse of the Forerunner military and its Empire. After it's defeat, Mendicant wanted to seek atonement for its betrayal and tried help Humanity whom the Forerunners deemed inheritors of their empire after they leave the galaxy. However, its ship crashed landed on the Prophets home world and who's worship of the AI lead to the formation of the Covenant and subsequently their genocide against the humans.
