The High Prophet of Mercy is one of three High Prophets that lead the Covenant High Council. He is by far the oldest, elected before the Prophet of Truth and Prophet of Regret were ever born. His birth name is Hod Rumnt. [1]
Biography
The venerable Hod Rumnt was elected to the Covenant High Council before either the Prophets of Truth or Regret were born. His tenure has been marked by several tense debates with Elite High Councilors over the proper dispensation of Forerunner artifacts. Mercy is considered one of the last of the Old Guard - a hard-liner who has publicly questioned the wisdom of the Prophets' demilitarization at the close of the Prophet-Elite War.
During a meeting with the Arbiter and the Prophet of Truth he tells a bit of history about the Covenant, mentioning the Grunt Rebellion and the Taming of the Hunters.
He stayed by Truth's side after the death of Regret, and appeared to be more of a supporter of Truth than an equal. As the Civil War of the Covenant began, Mercy still stayed at Truth's side, even as it seemed that Truth was unraveling the foundations of the Covenant.
He and the High Prophet of Truth were attacked by the Flood on High Charity as they prepared to depart for Installation 05 to begin the Great Journey. A single Infection Form made it past the Honor Guard Brutes and latched onto Mercy's neck. Over Tartarus's attempt to save him, Truth let Mercy die, saying "The Great Journey waits for no one, brother. Not even you."
