Guardian of the Luminous Key
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
- "Damn silly name."
- — Avery Johnson
The Guardian of the Luminous Key was a member of the Covenant whose arrival in the Ascendant Justice was awaited by the Covenant forces stationed at Alpha Halo. He was briefly mentioned in a Covenant message translated by Cortana.[1]. Interestingly this specific being was never mentioned, although with a title as dignified as this, it is likely that the being in question is a Prophet or a high ranking Elite.
It is likely that he/she was killed either by Master Chiefs boarding party, Cortana depressurizing a significant percent of the ship's or the ship eventual destruction.
The Guardian of the Luminous Key eventually became the arbitor in Halo 2, Halo 3.
Trivia
- It is likely that this individual's name is related to the Forerunner Crystal, a mysterious Forerunner artifact pursued by the Covenant during the events of First Strike.
- It is also possible that his name was related to the Activation Index, although there is no other evidence that the Covenant knew of it before the events of Halo 2.
