Like everyone before me has asked-who's that?

And even more so...do I see a face? Assuming that Cortana's mouth and the other black spot are eyes of the other face...is there a second face in this image?

I could assume that Cortana is indeed merging with some other entity. If that face is meant to represent Gravemind, is it because he is a human at the core? Is it that the "monument to all sins" was originally a human being who was consumed by the flood?

Notice that in Halo 2, Gravemind refers to himself as "I". Is it because this one human has the dominant sentience over all the various beings Gravemind has consumed? (That includes Sangheili/Elites. Gravemind's incisors were supposed to be elite skulls, but that was cut out). Further, who is this human/AI/being? Was he a criminal?

What does he represent? Cain, the first murderer? Or is he Satan, a fallen Angel? Is he the voice in whisper in the storm?

We just have to wait for answers. Sigh.
