| ==Biography==
| |
| ===Hierarch of the Covenant===
| |
| Prior to his ascension to the rank of Hierarch, the Prophet of Restraint had served as the [[Prelate of High Charity]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=harv|Halo: Contact Harvest}} At some point in [[2524]], the crew of the [[Kig-Yar]] ship ''[[Pitiless]]'' brought forth the corpse of an "unclean being", presumably a [[human]]. The High Prophet of Restraint then issued an edict that ordered all Kig-Yar vessels to be searched by squads of [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]] to search for "further evidence of the unclean".<ref name="timeline">'''Halo Wars''', ''timeline''</ref>

| ===Scandal and deposition=== | | |
| As of early [[2525]], the aging Prophet's tenure had been marked with scandal involving his various sexual exploits, most notably the impregnation of a young female San'Shyuum. While such a thing was not prohibited, Restraint was on the [[Roll of Celibates]], those San'Shyuum who possessed recessive genes and were forbidden from siring children. Having lied about his status to his lover, the new mother demanded she be allowed to have her children, which the Prophet eventually agreed to. Learning of this, the [[Prophet of Truth|Minister of Fortitude]] had the [[Prophet of Regret|Vice Minister of Tranquility]] give the invocation for the upcoming [[Birthing Period]], where he advocated ending the Roll of Celibates. Believing him sympathetic, Restraint approached the Vice Minister and offered him a full Ministerial post of his desire if he claimed the children as his own. The Minister blackmailed the Prophet by offering to keep the scandal quiet only if Restraint stepped down as one of the leaders of the High Council. The Vice Minister then succeeded him and became the High Prophet of Regret.{{Ref/Reuse|harv}} | | The '''High Prophet of Restraint''' was a [[High Prophet]] during the [[23rd Age of Doubt]].

| | ==Controversy== |
| | As of [[2524]], the aging [[Prophet]]'s tenure had been marked with scandal involving his various sexual exploits, notable the impregnation of a young female [[San 'Shyuum]] while lying about his status and then refusing to abort the offspring. To cover the scandal, he attempted to convince the then [[High Prophet of Regret|Vice Minister of Tranquility]] to claim the offspring as his own. |
| | |
| | The Minister responded by offering to keep the scandal quiet only if Restraint stepped down as one of the leaders of the High Council. The Vice Minister then succeeded him and then became the [[High Prophet of Regret]]. <ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 266</ref> |

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| Like most other known Hierarchs, his name can be considered ironic as to his behaviour; he stepped down as a result of his sexual exploits, therefore showing a ''lack'' of restraint. | | *Like most of the other High Prophets, his name has some irony to it; he stepped down as a result of high sexual exploits, therefore showing his lack of restraint. |
| | *His "''whore''" among the High Prophetess of Obligation and the [[High Prophet of Truth]]'s "''Concubines''" were the only female Prophets mentioned throughout the entire [[Halo series]]. |
