prophet warriors?

At 5:26 on the HALO 2 deleted scenes on youtube the mural shows a picture of a prophet fighting a elite he's holding a sword and is about to stab him so this must mean that the prophets had there own warrior cast back when the elites and prophets were at war also if you notice on the mural the prophet seems to be standing up strait not slouched.

Yeah, the Prophets used to be a militarized society. Mercy was one of the few Prophets who regretted their desicion to become peaceful, or however you'd say it. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 07:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

they must of been good to combat the elites evenlly or so they say User:Kami-Sama

But i wonder how they actually held up since they r weak or maybe its just the prophets who waste away on anti grav chairs the majority of their lives Snorkel378 23:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Snorkel378

Yeah I had a similar thought, because al the prophets seen in H2 are oldish but perhaps the younger ones stand up strait like the one in the murals or perhaps theres diffrent types of prophets or perhaps they evolved into the idle layabouts we are loost to seeing. User:Kami-Sama

I just think they managed to fight the Elites because of the Forerunner technology.

Gravity Belt

Does this exist? -- Esemono 12:06, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

In Halo: The Flood it says on page 5 "He wore a red overrobe, a gold underrobe, and somewhere, hidden beneath all the fabric, an antigrav belt which served to keep his body suspended a full unit off the deck." And at the time it's talking about the prophet. --Keyes 07:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Prophet Name

I read somewhere that the Covenant name for the Prophets was Pirpilli or something --Keyes 07:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

What's your source? --Dragonclaws^(talk) 07:44, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Prophet Naming

we might need a different page for 'prophet naming'. This is because we might right down what some of them mean. ' Pity is an emotion, usually resulting from an encounter with an unfortunate, injured, or pathetic person or creature. A person experiencing pity will often take mercy on the person/creature, giving them aid or money. Many people pity the homeless, orphans, the terminally ill, and victims of rape and torture.' Thats about pity. It might show us on why they are called those names. Template:UserForerunner

I think everyone fluent in English knows what Pity, Disdain, Mercy, Regret, Truth, and Supposition mean. Anyway, I don't see any reason for their names. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 02:07, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Edit

I heavily edited the article, but i forgot to leave in the pictures of Prophets in. If someone could re-add them, i, and probably the rest of the CoH, would be grateful. Kora 'Morhekee 08:45, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Put it back in. never mind. i keep doing that - asking someone to help, and then doing it myself. Yes, it annoys me too. Kora 'Morhekee 03:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Lifespan

Just a question; How long do Prophets live anyway? I would think they live for a very very long time, because of what i've seen, but I'm not entirely certain.--117649AnnihilativeRepentance 03:14, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Wow. I never really thought about it. I suspect they live for about a hundred or more because by the time Mercy became part of the High Council, Truth and Regret weren't even born but it isn't a crime to guess that they have the average life span of a human. Kind of makes you wonder, huh? - 49_Harboring_Enmity 17:26, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Personally, I have way to tell how old a Prophet is compaired to other Prophets. Example: Truth has some medium length eye-brow hair and on his "ears," whereas Regret has very little ear hair and short eyebrows. Thus, Truth is older than Regret. This is, by no means, a way to tell their exact age. But its a cool way to tell if one prophet is older than another. Kap2310 19:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Endangered?

According to scans of the Beastarium, the Prophets are apparently an endangered species, with about 1,000 left of their kind. Can anyone with an early copy confirm this? -- Hunter-113 12:52, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
