Although inspiring and charismatic, it is likely that Truth was at least partially insane. Despite being aware that humanity, not the Covenant, were the Forerunners' chosen successors, he was still fixated upon achieving godhood through the use of the Halo Rings. He seems to have rationalized this by claiming that humanity was "weak", and that the Forerunners had left them behind intentionally. Truth thus became obsessed with gaining more power for himself, to the point where he began to see himself as a god, ready to join the Forerunners that he worshipped.

Another potential possibility was that Truth was secretly aware of the Halos' purpose, and wished to fire them himself; then, having been shielded on the Halo he fired (or, alternatively, the Ark), he could have started a new age in which he ruled as one supreme god over all who survived on this Halo installation, leading him to be immortalized in the time afterwards. If this is the case, Truth lied to the entire Covenant, using the promise of the Great Journey to manipulate them into doing his bidding.

As evidenced by his desire to achieve divinity at the expense of the entire galaxy, Truth was a callous individual who disregarded the lives of both his allies and enemies. Truth was responsible for the Human-Covenant War and the twenty-three billion human lives lost in it, as well as the Great Schism, and the frequent betrayal of his allies. Truth also compromised the holy city of ''High Charity'' at a key moment during the Flood assault on the city, due to the Covenant civil war that he caused.
