- Ascetic redirects here. For the armor permutation, see Ascetic Harness.
The Ascetics are a group within the Sangheili culture.[1]
Overview
When the Sangheili first joined with the Prophets to form the Covenant, it is possible that they were no longer allowed to maintain individual groups. However, with the return of the Sangheili's sovereignty in the Great Schism came the revival of the Ascetics.
It is said that all Sangheili culture depends upon the Ascetics' resolve.[citation needed] They act as the physical and mental embodiment of ideological purity. The Ascetics' presence is meant to promote feelings of stability and order. An Ascetic is to instill confidence in those loyal to the State and fear in those who would undermine it.[citation needed] To that end, their actions are swift and their decisions final. By example, they are to show each Sangheili the true path.
Trivia
- An ascetic is someone who is devoted to the removal of corporeal pleasures from life, in order to attain purity.
- The Ascetics wanted Usze ‘Taham to be their emissary to the Covenant Navy at the time of the Great Schism.[1]
