Template:Covenant Character Infobox The Prophet of Objection was a Lesser Prophet of the Covenant and a member of the High Council.
The Prophet of Objection was a member of the council in 2552 and was present during the trial of the Supreme Commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice, who would later be known as an Arbiter. A very devout follower of the Covenant ideaology, Objection was angered by what he saw as the Commander's failure in the destruction of Installation 04. He thus led the call against the Commander and when the High Prophet of Truth remarked to the Commander that his mistake not to safeguard the Halo was a colossal failure, the Prophet of Objection stood up and shook his fist, saying "Nay, it was heresy!"[1]
Later, the High Prophet of Truth dismissed this remark, saying that though the Arbiter rightly bore the blame for the destruction of the Halo, the council was "overzealous" in branding him a heretic for this failure[2].
Trivia
- The Prophet of Objection was voiced by Bob O'Donnell, Father of Martin O'Donnell.
- He was formerly meant to be called the Prophet of Denial. [3]
- For some reason, O'Donnell was not credited with voicing Objection in the original release of Halo 2. Thus, the Prophet of Objection's name was not known until Halo 2 Vista when O'Donnell was credited for the first time.
- Outside the Halo continuity, he was likely named because of his role in the game.
- If he is truly called the Prophet of Objection. then he is one of the two KNOWN prophets whose name makes sense, as he had no trouble objecting in the soon-to-be Arbiter's trial. where as most other prophets names are opposite of their names. the only other known exception is the prophet of Etiology, who knows the history of the Flood, as he should.
