==Biography==
===Early career===
Hod Rumnt was elected to the [[High Council]] before either of his fellow Hierarchs, the Prophets of [[Prophet of Truth|Truth]] and [[Prophet of Regret|Regret]], were even born. His tenure was marked by several tense debates with [[Sangheili]] High [[Councilor]]s over the proper dispensation of [[Forerunner]] artifacts. During that time, he was considered one of the last of the Old Guard, as he publicly questioned the wisdom of the [[San'Shyuum]]'s demilitarization at the close of the [[Sangheili-San'Shyuum war]].<ref name="Toy"/> This brand of thinking may have contributed to his later willingness to help replace the Sangheili with the [[Jiralhanae]].
 
By [[2525]], during the [[Ages of Doubt|23rd Age of Doubt]], Rumnt had apparently given up politics in order to more effectively indulge his spiritual sfffide. He served as the [[Philologist]] on the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], where he led the [[asceticism|ascetic priests]] prior to his ascension to Hierarch.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 271''</ref>
 
===Rise to power===
The Philologist was present when the [[Prophet of Truth|Minister of Fortitude Ord Casto]] and the [[Prophet of Regret|Vice Minister of Tranquility Lod Mron]] came to ask for confirmation of the "[[human|reliquaries]]" found on [[Harvest]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 272''</ref> As the three San'Shyuum were analysing the data collected over the planet, [[Mendicant Bias|the Oracle of the Dreadnought]] suddenly came online. The Oracle revealed that the humans were [[Reclaimer]]s that were left behind and largely proved the [[Great Journey]] to be false. Shortly after, the Oracle attempted to launch the Dreadnought in order to transport the [[human]] population of [[Harvest]] to [[Installation 00|the Ark]], during which time it referred to the humans as its creators.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 275''</ref> The Philologist, overcome with spiritual awe, beseeched the Oracle to complete its task; however, when the Dreadnought's electrical pathways were short-circuited by the [[Lekgolo]] worms that had been moving within them, thus stopping the Dreadnought's launch, the Philologist regained enough sense to disconnect the Oracle from the Dreadnought's systems.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 276''</ref>
