During the invasion of [[High Charity]] by the Flood, the Minister barricaded himself in his quarters to escape the ravenous parasite. In his last hours, he wrote a written confession to be recorded for future generations to read. Feeling that he had atoned for the lies he had told all his life, he unlocked the doors to his chamber, allowing the Flood to pour in and kill him.

==Trivia==
The Minister of Discovery's name, like most Prophets, is contrary to his true nature. For decades he helped suppress the truth of why the Covenant began their genocidal campaign against humanity.

During the invasion of High Charity by the Flood, the Minister barricaded himself in his quarters to escape the parasite. In his last hours, he wrote a written confession on the walls of his chamber, expressing his regret for the failings and lies of himself and his people, in the small chance that it could be read by future generations. Once his confession was completed, he unlocked the doors to his chamber, allowing the Flood to enter and kill him.[2]
