05-032 Mendicant Bias (Earth-8756)

"And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can to keep it stable - keep you safe. I'm not so foolish to think this will absolve me of my sins. One life hardly balances billions."

- Mendicant Bias to John-117 in its final terminal transmission

05-032 Mendicant Bias was a forerunner ancilla, and the most advanced forerunner artificial intelligence at the time it was created. Charged with handling the forerunner defense against the xenomorphs during the parasite's assault on the galaxy, Mendicant Bias later defected to the Gravemind, becoming rampant and turning against its creators.
