===The Government===

The Covenant is governed by the [[High Council]], which is led by a trio of Prophets known as the [[Hierarchs]], and consists of lesser Prophets, [[Legate]]s, and very high ranking Elites, which are known as [[Councilors]]. However, near the start of the [[Covenant Civil War]], the Prophets began to replace the Elites with Brutes in various positions within Covenant society, including the protection of the Hierarchs and command of the [[Covenant Fleet]]s. The Prophets of [[Prophet of Truth|Truth]] and [[Prophet of Mercy|Mercy]] used the Prophet of [[High Prophet of Regret|Regret's]] assassination at the hands of [[Master Chief]] as an excuse to replace the Elite guard with Brutes. The Prophets then secretly ordered the Brutes to commit genocide against the Elites, thus leading to the beginning of the civil war.
