The '''Governors of Contrition'''<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 192''</ref> were a radical, fringe section of the [[Covenant Empire]] who believed that all creations of the [[Forerunner]] are sacrosanct. They also believed that the [[The Flood|Flood]] were a creation of the Forerunner and, as such, a perfect life-form, and that it was the duty of the Covenant to protect and even embrace the Flood.


Despite these radical beliefs, the Governors of Contrition were apparently accepted into society so long as their beliefs do not endanger others. Members of the group have even ascended to the rank of [[Shipmaster|Ship Master]], like in the case of [[Tano 'Inanraree]], but Tano 'Inanraree's beliefs led to his death during the [[Battle of Installation 05]] when he wanted the Flood to board his ship, the ''[[Incorruptible]]''. A junior officer by the name of [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] then killed him to stop the Flood from gaining control of the ship.

Mendicant resided in the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] in ''[[High Charity]]'', where he manipulated the highest positions in the Covenant.
