He's obviously a seriously evil dude, but he possesses this sort of malign wisdom that makes his every appearance really compelling. Being a mind that consists of the memories of millions of dead aliens, he probably has a unique perspective on things and abides by a set of values completely different to our own.

It's kind of too bad that he doesn't really amount to much in the games except throwing annoying space zombies at you, though. The stuff the Flood gets up to in the terminals and books set during the Forerunner-Flood War sort of shows what the Gravemind is really capable of. I kinda feel the same way about Harbinger. He's manipulating events behind the shadows so much that you don't even physically meet him till the very end. Still, that booming voice that accompanies his belief that all life is below him just is so damn awesome.
