Near the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] during the invasion of [[High Charity]] by the [[Flood]], the Minister wrote a written confession to be recorded for future generations to read. He was then killed and presumably infested by the Flood.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[Wages of Sin]]''</ref> |

| ==Biography== | | ==List of appearances== |
| In 2552, the Minister of Discovery was responsible for unlocking the seals of a [[Flood containment facility]] on [[Installation 04]], while he was safely aboard his vessel. This resulted in the deaths and consumption of his team within the facility and the ensuing [[Flood]] outbreak during the [[Battle of Installation 04]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''Wages of Sin'', ''page 300''</ref>

| During the invasion of ''[[High Charity]]'' by the Flood, the Minister barricaded himself in his quarters to escape the parasite. In his last hours, he wrote a [[Wages of Sin|written confession]] on the walls of his chamber, expressing his regret for the failings and lies of himself and his people, in the small chance that it could be read by future generations. Once his confession was completed, he unlocked the doors to his chamber, allowing the Flood to enter and kill him.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''Wages of Sin'': ''page 302''</ref>

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| The Minister of Discovery's name, like most Prophets, is contrary to his true nature. For decades he helped suppress the truth of why the Covenant began their genocidal campaign against humanity. While he eventually came to regret his actions, his last will and testament was presumably lost when the city was [[Raid on High Charity|destroyed]] by John-117, never to be discovered again.
| | *As with all Prophets, Discovery's name is meant to be ironic. His title would suggest that he seeks enlightenment through the discovery of holy knowledge; however, his confession describes how he released the Flood - a "discovery" of a very different and highly unpleasant nature. |
