Promethean Army
The Forerunner AI constructs the Didact made from his composed warriors, introduced as enemies in Halo 4.
The Prometheans are Forerunner artificial-intelligence constructs introduced as a new enemy type in Halo 4, alongside the former Covenant species. There are three types: Knights, the leaders and deadliest of the Promethean forces; Crawlers, a weaker class that attacks in packs; and Watchers, which support, shield or revive their allies.
Lore & Background
In Halo 4's backstory, after failing to find a way to immunize biological beings against the Flood, the Didact used a device called the Composer to convert the warriors under his command into Promethean Knights. In the Spartan Ops mode, Spartan squads are deployed to clear Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and Promethean forces from Requiem's interior.
