Prophet of Truth

Prophet of Truth is the central antagonist of Halo 2 and Halo 3. He was one of the Prophet Hierarchs, and appeared as the ruler of the Covenant Empire and Truth seemed more important to the Covenant members then the other two Hierarchs: Mercy and Regret.

Truth planned on overthrowing the Elites with the Brutes. Shortly after Regret left Earth, Truth secretly sent a Covenant fleet led by Brutes to finish off the Battle of Earth in New Mombasa and kill any Elite commanders who remained on Earth. Truth alongside the Brutes betrayed the Elites and began the Great Schism, Truth was given the Index and left High Charity to Earth and even left Mercy to die in the Covenant Capital. Truth had the Brutes as the Covenant's new military leaders and led his forces on Earth. When Lord Terrance Hood cornered the Prophet and his fleet, Truth escaped through a portal to the Ark where he planned on lighting the Halo Array. This started the Battle of Installation 00, Truth captured Sergeant Johnson and used him to activate the rings. Miranda Keyes arrived to rescue Johnson, but Truth killed her with a Brute Spiker. Arbiter and John confronted the weakened prophet as he was slowly being infected by the Flood. Arbiter wanted to get his revenge for what happened to his race, so he impaled and killed Truth which managed to collapse the Covenant Empire and the Halo Array was stopped. Although shortly after his death, the Flood betrayed the duo and attacked them.
