Well if the leaked video is true, and it sure looks legitiment, then the Truth dies. But really, who would be surprised at that.[[User:Trooper117|Trooper117]] 22:12, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I changed the quote to one more appropriate for him. Not a Halo 3 quote, perhaps, but it sums him up in one sentence.

The Prophets are religious as well as political leaders of the Covenant - it is likely 'Brother' in the same way that monks refer to each other as brother, and nuns as sister. Chief monks/priests and nuns are referred to as Father/Mother respectively.[[User talk:Thebigyeash|Thebigyeash]] 18:58, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Even though Truth was seen becoming infected, where was the Infection form? It didn't appear anywhere on his body. Maybe he managed to take in a [[Flood spore|spore]] when he fled High Charity that acted like a "sleeper agent" until moments before his death? --[[User talk:Radical Edward2|RadicalEdward2]] 10:30, 2 December 2011 (EST)

== "I will become a god!" ==
 
I'm curious if this line might actually refer to the power over life in the galaxy that the Ark would have given him rather than anything having to do with the Great Journey. I mean, he could wipe out nearly all who oppose him and possibly reseed the galaxy. Even if he had somehow come to believe his own lies, he couldn't really expect to be taken on the Great Journey, when the Ark is well out of range of the Halos.--[[User talk:Darth Oblivion|Darth Oblivion]] 15:58, 10 July 2011 (EDT)
 
:I'd like to think he was hinging his bets - if Halo really did kill everything else off, then he'd be left as a virtual "god" of an empty galaxy. But really, the Halo 3 Truth is far more of an unhinged zealot than his Halo 2 incarnation, which I would have believed of. I think it more likely that by this point Truth has convinced himself of his own lies. If it's not obvious by the time Arbiter shows him his stabs, Truth has become insane. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 06:12, 3 December 2011 (EST)
 
:No, I doubt that his motivations were of anything but a religious nature. While I suppose he became slightly disillusioned with the Covenant faith after his encounter with a fragment of [[Mendicant Bias]], whom revealed the true [[Reclaimer|heirs]] of the Forerunners were actually Humans. I don't think he renounced his entire belief in the Great journey. He likely believed that they were still celestial and transcendental relics of divinity. The prophet of Truth essentially waged a genocidal war on humanity to maintain that belief in the Great Journey is preserved among the Covenant and so that they would be the species to inherit the rewards of it.
 
:I also do not think he would be aware of Halo's range of fire. According to the Covenant, they believe that the Halo Array controls the fate of the universe and award them godhood (like it did with the forerunners). The Halo Array's true purpose is actually that of galactic extermination to destroy the Flood's threat to biodiversity. So I do not think they will have a perfect knowledge of Halo's mechanisms and range. To quote 343 Guilty Spark:
 
:{{quote|Told? By whom? Anyone who told you that is either a fool - or quite, quite mad.|Guilty Spark, [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Terminals#Terminal 11|Terminal 11]].}}

Besides, what good would it have been to rule an empty galaxy? Truth was already in charge of the Covenant, which was already easily wiping out Humanity. It's not as if he could gain more physical power, because he already ruled the most powerful empire in the galaxy.

Is his appearance in the final cutscene of ODST canonical? I don't think he was at Earth at the time.

:Yes it is indeed canon. The main things that help it is.
:A. The event in question isnt tied to a date, or time. Just that its after Johnson gets back. (Which is close to Halo 3s start anyway)
