Ministry of Abnegation
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Ministry of Abnegation was a ministry of the Covenant, formed alongside the empire in around 852 BCE.[1]
Overview[edit]
Role[edit]
As stipulated by the Writ of Union, the Ministry of Abnegation was responsible for overseeing the Ascetics, a Sangheili order that was dissolved and reconstituted as a subordinate of the Ministry during the foundation of the Covenant.[1]
Ministers[edit]
- Vice minister Alo Sebukah: The final vice minister of the Ministry of Abnegation.[2]
- Minister Kafo Dein: The final minister of the Ministry of Abnegation who fled with the San'Shyuum flotilla during the Fall of High Charity.[3]
History[edit]
Writ of Union[edit]
The Ministry of Abnegation was formed around the time the Writ of Union was formed. Under the terms of the Union the Ascetics were dissolved and reconstituted under the then-newly formed Ministry, where for centuries the Ascetics served.[1]
Great Schism[edit]
Following the demise of the Covenant and its ministries during the Great Schism, the Ascetics were revived as an independent order by Sangheili warriors.[1]
Trivia[edit]
Abnegation means to deny or renounce something, which fits with the Asceticism's role of self-denial.
