==Biography==
==Biography==
In [[2539]], the Prophet of Conviction was sent to [[Kholo]] to oversee [[Battle of Kholo|its destruction]]. Stationed aboard the [[flagship]] of the [[Fleet of Righteous Vigilance]], the Prophet personally ordered [[Unidentified shipmaster (Righteous Vigilance)|its Shipmaster]] to burn a Covenant religious symbol representing "faith" on the surface of the planet as a symbol of the Covenant's triumph. Following this, the Shipmaster was bonded to the Prophet, with the ship becoming Conviction's permanent home and mobile command post; the fleet carried out the Prophet's bidding throughout the rest of the war.{{Ref/Reuse|return}}
In [[2539]], he was sent to [[Kholo]] to oversee [[Battle of Kholo|its destruction]]. Stationed aboard the flagship of the [[Fleet of Righteous Vigilance]], the Prophet personally ordered its [[Unidentified Sangheili Shipmaster (The Return)|Shipmaster]] to burn a Covenant religious symbol representing "faith" on the surface of the planet as a symbol of the Covenant's triumph. Following this, the Shipmaster was bonded to the Prophet, with the ship becoming Conviction's permanent home and mobile command post, the fleet carrying out the Prophet's bidding throughout the rest of the war.


At the dawn of the [[Great Schism]] in [[2552#November|November 2552]], the Shipmaster received the first news of the ascension of the [[Jiralhanae]] and the slaughter of the [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Councilor|High Councilors]] from the Fleet's admiral. He rushed to the Prophet of Conviction's personal quarters; Conviction was ready, having been told that his race's deception was exposed. He tried to kill the Shipmaster with a [[plasma pistol]], but he failed and ended up subdued. The Sangheili dragged him before his crew in a public execution, after showing them the images of Jiralhanae's [[Great Schism|treachery]]. Upon seeing the Prophet awaken and terrified of being surrounded by angry Sangheili, the Shipmaster crushed his neck, thus killing him.{{Ref/Reuse|return}}

Conviction's own [[Honor Guard]]s would take their own lives soon afterward out of shame at protecting the Prophet before the Schism.{{Ref/Reuse|return}}

==Production notes==
==Trivia==
Following a recurring theme with San'Shyuum titles that correspond to their deaths, the shipmaster's faith allowed the Prophet Conviction to gain influence over the fleet, but it was the subsequent loss of that faith — and the lack of religious conviction from the shipmaster — that led to the Prophet of Conviction's death.
*If Conviction's title follows those of previous Prophets in the series, it may imply that he lacks ''conviction'', and is rather weak-kneed and unwilling to follow actions through - although this conflicts with him ordering the glassing of Kholo (particularly the requirement of the Faith symbol to bind a Sangheili shipmaster to him).
