| - Although physically frail compared to other Covenant species, they wield absolute power over the Covenant, making them more dangerous than most. Very little is known about the Prophets, beyond the fact that they are the sole members of the leadership and religious caste of the Covenant hierarchy. They are extremely important in the Covenant because they not only study the holy Forerunner artifacts, but keep order in the Covenant. They are an integral part of the High Council, sharing this responsibility with the Sangheili, also known as the Elites. However the expulsion of the Sangheili and their replacement by the Jiralhanae (often referred to as Brutes) is likely to have caused a power vacuum, and it is not known if any Brute Councilors exist, or if the High Council has been inadvertently disbanded due to the loss of the Covenant Capital City, High Charity. There is a triumvirate of Covenant leaders; they were known as the Prophet of Truth, the Prophet of Mercy, and the Prophet of Regret, though all three are now dead. Regret was killed by the Master Chief on Delta Halo, Mercy by the Flood on High Charity, and Truth by Thel 'Vadam in the Citadel on the Ark.
