Manipular

Manipular was the Forerunner title given to adolescent citizens. These young members of society typically followed their families' lineage going into their particular rate.^[1] As Manipulars had not yet made the mutation to a first-form, they were identified as "Form Zero" in their names.^[2] Manipulars formed divisional groups known as Maniples.^[3]
