In Response To: Re: Elites are not defectors - Evolutions *SP* (Bry) : Head spinning in-characterness aside, these are questions which really : shouldn't have any single answer. Its a complex issue and opinions really : should be massively divided. : Not only because its more believable for a species which doesn't have a : hive-mind mentality, but also because it allows incredibly more depth and : potential stories which we're starting to see creep in now. : Some Sangheili plainly still believe in the Forerunners as gods, despite : thinking the Great Journey a lie, such as the Shipmaster in Return. That : character also plainly regrets his actions during the campaign against : humanity and considers it all a dishonour. : I found the Return a fascinating insight into the mind set of the character : (note, just the character. Not the Sangheili as a whole) and it was : interesting to see how deep that regret and shame apparently went when : faced with what he had done in service of lies, though not because of any : particular reverence to humans. He's still quite willing to apparently : torture one for answers and he was certainly not happy to see images of : humans tinkering with Forerunner creations. : Thel, from what we've seen, seems to have gone full circle, from a devout : zealot to a complete non-believer after Guilty Spark told him the ultimate : fate of the Forerunners. While he may not revere humans, he acknowledges : they are Reclaimers (as do some other Sangheili in Halo 3) and respects : them as such. : As a Sangheili hero and one of its new leaders, his influence may spread far, : but that is not to say all would embrace his new outlook. : Some were already curious, sympathetic and even somewhat respectful or : admiring of humans while the war still raged, such as N'tho and this is : apparently more widespread amongst the Sangheili youth. As these newer : generations come of age, the coalition has an improved chance of becoming : stronger. The same would likely go for many humans. Hatred can be diluted : over time and while actions may never be forgotten, maybe not even : forgiven, that does not mean we can never move on. : There is all kinds of variations and levels that can be in-between. : To want to lump all the Sangheili into one group of one mind, or any Halo : race for that matter, is to really limit the fiction and there is really : no reason for it. : Surely the Halo lore is mature enough to cope with such complexities? Could not have addressed it better myself.
