The following day, the Prophet of Truth had the [[Sangheili]] of the [[Covenant Honor Guard]] [[Changing of the Guard|replaced]] by the [[Jiralhanae]], using the assassination of Regret to discredit the Sangheili and further his own agenda to ultimately take sole control of the Covenant.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Sacred Icon]]''</ref><ref name="bwu">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=16989 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 01/23/09'']</ref> The Prophet of Truth sent the [[Arbiter]] of the Covenant, disgraced former [[Supreme Commander]] of the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee to the [[Sentinel wall]] encircling the [[Library]] in order to deactivate the [[Containment shield|shielding]] and allowing the Covenant to secure the [[Activation index]] that would allow them to ultimately activate the ring.
