The Prophet of Conviction[1] was a representative of the High Council sent to Kholo in 2539 to oversee its destruction. Stationed aboard a ship in the Fleet of Righteous Vigilance, the Prophet personally ordered its Shipmaster to burn a Covenant religious symbol on the surface of the planet a symbol of the Covenant's triumph. Following this, the Shipmaster was bonded to the Prophet, with the ship becoming Conviction's permanent home and mobile command post, the fleet carrying out the Prophet's bidding throughout the rest of the war.
During the Great Schism, as the Shipmaster recieved the first news of the ascension of the Jiralhanae and the slaughter of the Sangheili councillors from the Fleet's admiral, he rushed to the Prophets personal quarters - Conviction was ready, trying to kill his attacked with a plasma pistol, but failing. The Shipmaster subdued Conviction, dragging him before his crew in a public execution, his neck crushed in the Shipmaster's arms.
Convictions own Honor Guards would take their own lives soon afterward out of shame at protecting the Prophet before the Schism.
