The individual holding the title "'''Guardian of the Luminous Key'''" was a member of the [[Covenant]] whose arrival in the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' was awaited by the Covenant forces stationed at [[Installation 04]]. The individual was briefly mentioned in a Covenant message translated by [[Cortana]].<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', Chapter 17</ref>
The '''Guardian of the Luminous Key''' was a member of the [[Covenant]] whose arrival in the [[Ascendant Justice]] was awaited by the Covenant forces stationed at [[Alpha Halo]]. He was briefly mentioned in a Covenant message translated by [[Cortana]].<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], Page 156</ref>. Interestingly this specific being was never mentioned, although with a title as dignified as this, it is likely that the being in question is a Prophet or a high ranking Elite.
 
It is likely that he/she was killed either by Master Chiefs boarding party, Cortana depressurizing a significant percent of the ship's or the ship eventual destruction.
 
The Guardian of the Luminous Key eventually became the arbitor in Halo 2, Halo 3.
 
 
 
 
 


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
It is possible that "Luminous Key" refers to the [[activation index]] of Installation 04, which the Covenant were undoubtedly eager to obtain. The [[Prophet of Mercy]] refers to the activation index of [[Installation 05]] as "the key", and it does bear luminous green strips. The role of the Guardian of the Luminous Key could have been to secure the index and bring it to the control room to activate Halo, as is later undertaken by [[Thel 'Vadam]] and [[Tartarus]]. Cortana, who was aboard the ship, did have possession of the Index, but the Guardian of the Luminous Key would not have known this.
*It is likely that this individual's name is related to the [[Forerunner Crystal]], a mysterious Forerunner artifact pursued by the Covenant during the events of ''[[Halo: First Strike|First Strike]].''
 
*It is also possible that his name was related to the [[Activation Index]], although there is no other evidence that the Covenant knew of it before the events of ''[[Halo 2]]''.
