==Biography==
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>
Notably, he was the one responsible for unlocking a [[Flood containment facility]] on Installation 04, resulting in the final [[The Flood|Flood]] outbreak during the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Wages of Sin", ''page 300''</ref> While the minister was safely aboard his vessel, the team he had left at the facility broke the seals containing the Flood specimens, which escaped and quickly overtook them.


==Trivia==
During the invasion of [[High Charity]] by the Flood, the Minister barricaded himself in his quarters to escape the ravenous parasite. In his last hours, he wrote a written confession to be recorded for future generations to read. Feeling that he had atoned for the lies he had told all his life, he unlocked the doors to his chamber, allowing the Flood to pour in and kill him. He was then presumably infected.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Wages of Sin]]"</ref>
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.
