'''San 'Shyuum''' (Latin ''Perfidia vermis''<ref name="Beast"/>, meaning "Worms of Treachery"<ref>[http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=865756 HBO Forums]</ref>), also known as '''Prophets''', are a mammal-like species who are the leadership caste within the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] and one of the more mysterious member races of the hegemony. Prophets appear to exert complete control over religious and political affairs, fulfilling the role of religious and political leaders. Prophets enforce a misguided theology based on the false belief that firing the [[Halo Array]] will start the [[Great Journey]] transcending them into a God-like status. Although physically frail compared to other Covenant species, they wield absolute power over the Covenant, making them more dangerous than most. | '''San 'Shyuum''' (Latin ''Perfidia vermis''<ref name="Beast"/>, meaning "Worms of Treachery"<ref>[http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=865756 HBO Forums]</ref>), also known as '''Prophets''' by the humans, are a mammal-like species who are the leadership caste within the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] and one of the more mysterious member races of the hegemony.
