By the time of the eruption of civil war around [[Installation 05]], the Prelates and their crews were quick to take initiative, taking the Sangheili fleets stationed around [[High Charity]] off-guard, eliminating the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Eternal Reward]]'' quickly and intending to focus efforts on ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'', though the outbreak of the [[Flood]] soon switched the tables in the Sangheili's favour. The Sangheili fleet actions and blockade ultimately eliminated many Prelates, and - like the San'Shyuum species as a whole - they became a rare sight following the [[Battle of Installation 05]] and the later fall of the Covenant. By [[2553]], [[Tem'Bhetek]] thought he was the last of the surviving Prelates.{{Ref/Reuse|SOI}} | By the time of the eruption of civil war around [[Installation 05]], the Prelates and their crews were quick to take initiative, taking the Sangheili fleets stationed around [[High Charity]] off-guard, eliminating the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Eternal Reward]]'' quickly and intending to focus efforts on ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'', though the outbreak of the [[Flood]] soon switched the tables in the Sangheili's favour.

Bhasvod and his troops would remain undetected for nearly seven years by the various factions that would occupy and fight over the Ark.{{Ref/Reuse|DW}} | ||

Tem'Bhetek was able to survive the [[Fall of High Charity]], having met the Minister of Preparation in the station's docking spires and subsequently escorted the Minister to safety. Over the subsequent months, [[Tem'Bhetek's faction]] of allied Jiralhanae hatched a plot to capture ''Shadow of Intent'' and use it to transport a [[Prototype Halo installation]] to [[Sanghelios]], with the intention of wiping out the Sangheili species permanently. Ultimately, Tem was captured by [[Rtas 'Vadum]] during the [[Ambush at Duraan]], where he eventually came to realize that the Minister had deceived him and joined Rtas' forces for the [[Battle of the Prototype Halo installation]], ultimately sacrificing himself.{{Ref/Reuse|SOI}} | Tem'Bhetek was able to survive the [[Fall of High Charity]], having met the Minister of Preparation in the station's docking spires and subsequently escorted the Minister to safety.

The mission ended in a failure with the alliance between the two [[Covenant remnants]] dissolving before the ''Spirit of Fire'' destroyed the [[Epsilon Clarion]] installation and Intrepid Eye with an [[orbital bombardment]] of [[EMP]] [[MAC]] rounds. Undaunted by his defeat, Bhasvod killed [[Mark-G313]] and departed to link up with his remaining forces.{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW|DW}} | ||

Prelate [[fighting skin]]s included an [[anti-gravity belt]] that could be used to quickly propel themselves in various directions, or allow them to engage in limited flight. The armor also included a gauntlet made of [[hard light]], which when activated produced a crescent blade on the forearm, as well as a shield of hard light to deflect shots that managed to connect with the highly mobile Prelate.
