The '''Governors of Contrition''' were a radical fringe section of the [[Covenant]] who believed that all creations of the [[Forerunner]] are sacrosanct. | The '''Governors of Contrition''' were a radical fringe section of the [[Covenant]] who believed that all creations of the [[Forerunner]] are sacrosanct. Most notably, they believed that the [[Flood]] were a creation of the Forerunner and, as such, a perfect life-form, and that it was the duty of the Covenant to protect and even embrace the Flood.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 192''</ref> | ||
Despite their radical beliefs, the Governors of Contrition were apparently accepted into society so long as their beliefs did not endanger others. Members of the group have even ascended to the rank of [[Shipmaster|Ship Master]], like in the case of [[Tano 'Inanraree]], but 'Inanraree's beliefs led to his death during the [[Battle of Installation 05]] when he wanted the Flood to board his ship, the ''[[Incorruptible]]''. A junior officer by the name of [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] then killed him to stop the Flood from gaining control of the ship. | |||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
[[ | The beliefs of the Governors of Contrition may have been originally influenced by a [[Logic plague|Flood-corrupted]] [[Ancilla|Forerunner AI]] or records of communication with one, as their beliefs of the Flood as the perfect life-form correlate with the agenda preached by the [[Gravemind]], specifically when subverting AIs like [[05-032 Mendicant Bias|Mendicant Bias]].<ref>'''Halo 3''', ''[[Terminal/Halo 3|Terminal 3]]''</ref> While untrue in the strictest sense, their beliefs of the Flood being a Forerunner creation have some basis, as early Forerunners were indirectly responsible for the Flood in [[Forerunner-Precursor war|wiping out]] the [[Precursor]]s who transmuted themselves to molecular dust in order to survive. This dust deteriorated over millions of years and spawned the Flood when it came into contact with sentient life.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 13''</ref> | ||
