==Summary==
Durandal used to be the AI designed to control doors on the multi-generational colony ship UESC Marathon. Possibly due to intentional experiments and abuse from his creator, Durandal entered the state of A.I. Rampancy, becoming more unhinged and eventually choosing to begin a war between humanity and the Pfhor, an alien slaver race, all in the pursuit of figuring out a way to survive the eventual end of the universe.
With time, while Durandal remains somewhat unhinged, he begins to develop a sympathy for humanity, eventually choosing to help them triumph against the Pfhor.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: At least by ramming, at least with most weaponry, with particle beams, with lasers

Pfhor ships used to attack the Marathon were almost 2 km in size), Enhanced Senses (Capable of extending probes to scan entire continents, and solar systems over timeMarathon (1994) - Ending), Spatial Manipulation (Developed technology that made the ship warp and fold space around itself in impossible ways around itself to pass through enemy defensesMarathon 2: Durandal (1995) - Manual, with enough range to affect entire moons, possibly planetsMarathon 2: Durandal (1995) - For Carnage, Apply Within), Paralysis Inducement (Capable of putting soldiers into stasisMarathon 2: Durandal (1995) - Waterloo Waterpark), Earth Manipulation (Capable of performing orbital bombardments by launching asteroids onto a planet's surfaceMarathon 2: Durandal (1995) - What About Bob?), Teleportation (Capable of teleporting ammunition, soldiers and other objects of interest onto planets with precisionMarathon 2: Durandal (1995) - Ex Cathedra, though this can be blockedMarathon 2: Durandal (1995) - Eat It, Vid Boi! or interfered withMarathon 2: Durandal (1995) - Curiouser and Curiouser...), BFR (Has threatened to teleport people into spaceMarathon 2: Durandal (1995) - Eat It, Vid Boi!), Matter Manipulation (Equipped with particle beams powerful enough to destroy entire Pfhor shipsMarathon 2: Durandal (1995) - Six Thousand Feet Under), Energy Projection (Equipped with lasers capable of burning through hundreds of meters of groundMarathon 2: Durandal (1995) - Fatum Iustum Stultorum), Explosion Manipulation (Equipped with cruise missilesMarathon Infinity (1996) - Thing What Kicks)</tabber>Attack Potency: Multi-Continent level by ramming (Tycho's ship destroyed itself by crashing into a moon inflicting this much damage, and Durandal's is the same type of ship, but enhanced by him. Note that this would destroy the Boomer, and Durandal too if he has not pre-emptively copied himself somewhere else), at least Small Town level+ with most weaponry (Most of the Boomer weaponry should be greatly superior to the Tech.50 Fusion PistolMarathon (1994) - Manual, as it is a handheld pistol from a technologically inferior culture compared to the one that built the Boomer, which Durandal himself greatly improved afterwards, as well as many handheld weapons capable of harming the Mjolnir Recon n. 54's shields, which can withstand blasts from the Fusion Pistol), Small City level with particle beams (Capable of obliterating entire Pfhor spaceships), Island level with lasers (Capable of burning kilometer-wide letters into a moon)
Speed: At least Supersonic perception (Capable of processing information in "a few milliseconds"Marathon Infinity (1996) - Where Some Rarely Go), up to Speed of Light attack speed (Armed with particle beams and lasers), Massively FTL+ flight speed (Capable of charting thousands of solar systems while heading to the center of the Milky Way in the span of 17 years)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Multi-Continent level by ramming
Durability: At least Small Town level+ (The Mjolnir Recon n. 54's weaponry, including the Fusion Pistol, is completely incapable of piercing the Boomer's walls)
Stamina: Superhuman. Led a long war against the Pfhor on Lh'owon. Explored the Milky Way for 17 years.
Range: Planetary with weaponry and teleportation.
Standard Equipment: The "Boomer", a Pfhor corvette he hijacked.
*Can Summon: Durandal commands an unknown though vast amount of B.O.B.s (Humans born on board of the Marathon) armed with .44 Magnum Mega Class pistols against the Pfhor, though they have a low opinion of him and are only allied with him because of circumstances, as well as Mjolnir Recon n°54, who he holds actual control overMarathon Infinity (1996) - Aye Mak Sicur.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius. Durandal had an IQ of 10.000 even before his RampancyMarathon - Lost Packets (An in-universe message mailed by Bungie in 1995). Rampant AI increase exponentially in intellect with time, and grow to such sizes to completely occupy planetary-sized networks of computers, and by the end of Marathon, Durandal's file size reached 64 billion exabytes (or 64 yottabytes, 64 x 10^24) in a half hourMarathon (1994) - Try Again. For comparison, the global yearly Internet traffic in 2016 was one zettabyte (10^21). Calculated the date of the end of the universe with extreme precision, down to the dayMarathon (1994) - Neither High Nor Low, using only data already gathered by humanity, stating they simply lacked the intellect to decipher it. Was capable of greatly improving upon human engineering in a small timeframe. Developed technology that made the ship he inhabited warp and fold space around itself in impossible ways around itself to pass through enemy defenses, with enough range to affect entire moons, possibly planets. Despite originally only having knowledge of human technology, which is far inferior to the Pfhor'sMarathon 2: Durandal (1995) - The Slings & Arrows of Outrageous Fortune, he was capable of making great improvements to many of their crafts. Was capable of predicting every single event in the events of Marathon down to the minute detail and was the one to have set them in motion, and similarly boasted that he could "decipher the chaotic motion of gas molecules in the clouds of Tau Ceti IV" down to every single atom of them.
Weaknesses: Reliant on his human soldiers for performing actions at ground level or within the ship itself.
