The Mark of Shame is given to those who have either disgraced or turned away from the Covenant, i.e. heresy. The Mark of Shame is imprinted permanently on the body of the person by means of branding heated metal onto there bare skin.
After being branded with it, the being is executed soon thereafter out of sheer humility, perhaps harnessing the last bit of honored dignity they can draw up. The only known exception of this tradition was the Supreme Commander in charge of the protection of Installation 04. He became the Arbiter in order to settle the act of Heresy of Sesa 'Refumee on Threshold.
Trivia
- The Mark of Shame is available as a Multiplayer Emblem in Halo 2 and Halo 3.
- If you look closely, the Mark of Shame can be seen on the Elites' armor on the Campaign, perhaps out of deference and respect for their current Arbiter.
