Prophet of Restraint

This article is a stub. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

The High Prophet of Restraint was a High Prophet during the 23rd Age of Doubt. He, along with the High Prophet of Tolerance and the High Prophetess of Obligation led the Covenant High Council until 2524.

Controversy

As of 2524, the aging Prophet's tenure had been marked with scandal involving his various sexual exploits, most notably the impregnation of a young female San 'Shyuum while lying about his status and then refusing to abort the offspring. To cover the scandal, he attempted to convince the then Vice Minister of Tranquility to claim the children as his own.

The Minister responded by offering to keep the scandal quiet only if Restraint stepped down as one of the leaders of the High Council. The Vice Minister then succeeded him and became the High Prophet of Regret.

Trivia

• Like most of the other High Prophets, his name has some irony to it; he stepped down as a result of high sexual exploits, therefore showing his lack of restraint.
• His "whore" among the High Prophetess of Obligation and the High Prophet of Truth's "Concubines" and Chur'R-Yar were the only female Prophets mentioned throughout the entire Halo series.
