Lesser Prophet

The High Councilors, sometimes referred to as Minor or Lesser Prophets, are San 'Shyuum representatives on the High Council of the Covenant. Many of them serve as the head of Ministries that handle the day to day operation of the Covenant Empire. Because of the influence they have on the Council's proceedings, many of these Councilors (like the former Minister of Fortitude and the Minister of Concert) are often considered to be in line to being Hierarchs.

While the Hierarchs are the most prominent of the San 'Shyuum governors, councilors or Lesser Prophets are extremely important in the Covenant society. They share power with the Sangheili on the High Council.

Trivia

 * It would appear that only San 'Shyuum who are members of the High Council are referred to as "prophets". In continuation, only San 'Shyuum who are seated in the High Council have used the "Prophet of..." naming scheme.
 * While many Lesser Prophets are known to use gravity thrones for travel, some also wear antigravity belts.
