"When I came up with the design for the Shield World, I didn't want it to end in bloodshed."

- Riskarl after creating her Shield World

Riskarl is a Turon Scientist who was known for extensive research on life and death. She is most notable as the Inventor of the Shield World, a construct which the Forerunner later adopted in the Forerunner-Flood War. She played a major role in the Turon's encounter with the Precursor species. When the Precursor's attacked her, the Turons sent mercanaries to capture the Precursor's 'life' project. Upon tampering, Riskarl was badly effected, but discovered that the project extended life rather than created it, proving the Precursor's experiment to be a failure. After her invention, the Turons went into Civil War. It is unknown what became of her if she survived the war, it is also unknown what became of her if she survived the Flood invasion.
