R'Noh Custo was an old political rival of [[Mken 'Scre'ah'ben]], and the two had been at odds numerous times.{{Ref/Reuse|bc51}} At one point in his career, Custo plotted with the [[Prophet of Excellent Redolence|High Prophet of Excellent Redolence]] to kidnap female [[San'Shyuum]] from [[Janjur Qom]] to help prevent inbreeding on ''[[High Charity]]''.

In [[850 BCE]], R'Noh Custo was appointed the [[Minister (title)|Minister]] of the [[Ministry of Anticipatory Security]]—a newly formed Ministry that was charged with anticipating possible security matters on ''[[High Charity]]'' before they became a threat—by the High Prophet of Excellent Redolence.{{Ref/Reuse|bc51}} Shortly after his appointment, Custo contacted Mken. R'Noh revealed to Mken that he was aware of the latter's spouse [[Cresanda]]'s pregnancy and his history on the [[Roll of Celibates]]. Custo threatened to use his new ministerial powers to put Mken back on the Roll of Celibates. However, Custo offered 'Scre'ah'ben an opportunity to make him "forget" the incident. On behalf of the Prophet of Excellent Redolence, R'Noh wanted Mken to lead a team to Janjur Qom on [[Mission to Janjur Qom|an expedition]] to obtain a [[Forerunner]] [[Luminary]] and a group of voluntary female [[Stoic]] San'Shyuum to return to ''High Charity'' for breeding purposes. Custo told him that in the [[grotto of the Great Transition]] on the planet, the [[Purifying Vision of the Holy Path]] would be found with the Luminary. Custo claimed that he chose Mken for the mission because of his knowledge of Janjur Qom and his past military experience in the [[San'Shyuum-Sangheili War]].{{Ref/Reuse|bc61}} Mken was reluctant to go on a mission for Custo and consulted the High Prophet of Excellent Redolence himself.

After consulting with [[Vervum L'kosur]], the captain of ''[[Vengeful Vitality]]'', to ensure that the [[Covenant corvette|corvette]] was prepared for the mission, Custo entered the [[Hall of Sacred Guidance]] to listen in on the conversation between Excellent Redolence and Mken.<ref name="bc73">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 73-75''</ref> | ||
As later predicted by Mken,<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 88''</ref> Captain Vervum L'kosur was an operative of the Ministry of Anticipatory Security. Custo had ordered Vervum to allow Mken to retrieve the Luminary and Purifying Vision of the Holy Path, and then assassinate Mken, to allow Custo to take credit for the mission's success. However, Vervum's assassination attempt failed when local Stoics attacked the group and killed the captain.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 114''</ref> Mken succeeded in returning safely to ''High Charity'' with the Stoic females and Purifying Vision of the Holy Path, but the Luminary was destroyed.

Upon his return, Mken, Custo, and the crew of ''Vengeful Vitality'' were called before the Hierarchs in the [[High Council Chamber]]. The testimony of the surviving members of the corvette's crew all concluded that Vervum, an agent of the Ministry of Anticipatory Security, had attempted to assassinate Mken. The [[Qurlom|Minister of Relative Reconciliation]] interrupted the proceedings and claimed that Mken was innocent and that the new Ministry and its Minister were to blame for the loss of the Luminary. At the Minister of Relative Reconciliation's suggestion, the Hierarchs dissolved the Ministry of Anticipatory Security and demoted Custo for allowing his personal agenda obscure his ministerial agenda. Additionally, Relative Reconciliation suggested for Custo to be demoted to third administrative assistant in the sewage treatment of ''High Charity'' or sent to oversee a mine. Custo attempted to protest, but Excellent Redolence ordered him to leave the chamber or be [[capital punishment|executed]], to prevent being implicated in the conspiracy against Mken himself. Custo reluctantly left the chamber, when he saw the Hierarch's hand nearing the controls of his [[anti-gravity chair|gravity throne]]'s [[assault cannon]].<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 159-162''</ref> | ||
