At this point in the Covenant's history, the role of Arbiter was still a respected position, serving as guardian of the [[Great Journey]] and commander-in-chief of the [[Covenant military]]. As such, it was the Arbiter's duty to lead his fellow Sangheili against enemies of the Covenant. The [[San 'Shyuum]] had found one such enemy in the [[Lekgolo]], a race of worm like creatures native to the planet [[Te]]. The nascent Covenant was drawn to Te using [[Luminary|luminaries]] indicating a possible treasure trove of [[Forerunner]] relics. What they found was the remains of a Forerunner installation that had been destroyed in the years after the activation of the [[Halo Array]]. While the Prophets were disappointed by the loss of the station, they were horrified to discover that the native Lekgolo were consuming the remains of the station, though some Lekgolo colonies ate everything but the relics.<ref name="harv">'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 269-270''</ref> | At this point in the Covenant's history, the role of Arbiter was still a respected position, serving as guardian of the [[Great Journey]] and commander-in-chief of the [[Covenant military]].

Appalled, the Prophets ordered the Sangheili to wipe out the Lekgolo.<ref name="harv"/> The Arbiter ventured to Te's natural satellite [[Rantu]], and for an entire year learned the strengths and weaknesses of the Lekgolo.<ref>'''[[Halo 2 Anniversary]]''', ''[[Terminal/Halo 2 Anniversary|Terminal]] 8</ref> The Sangheili soon discovered that threatened Lekgolo colonies could combine to form [[Mgalekgolo]], massive creatures which could surpass the Sangheili in strength. Recognizing that the Mgalekgolo could be formidable warriors, the Arbiter instead proposed to the Prophets an alternative: they would convert, or tame, the Lekgolo colonies that did not eat Forerunner relics, and use them to destroy the Lekgolo colonies that ate Forerunner relics. Though they had been eager to assert moral authority, the Prophets recognized that the Arbiter's strategy was sound, and incorporated the Lekgolo into the Covenant.<ref name="harv"/> | Appalled, the Prophets ordered the Sangheili to wipe out the Lekgolo.<ref name="harv"/> The Arbiter ventured to Te's natural satellite [[Rantu]], and for an entire year learned the strengths and weaknesses of the Lekgolo.<ref>'''[[Halo 2 Anniversary]]''', ''[[Terminal/Halo 2 Anniversary|Terminal]] 8</ref> The Sangheili soon discovered that threatened Lekgolo colonies could combine to form [[Mgalekgolo]], massive creatures which could surpass the Sangheili in strength.
