Governors of Contrition

The Governors of Contrition was a radical fringe sect of Covenant who believe that all creations of the Forerunner are sacrosanct. They also believed that the Flood were a perfect life-form and that it was the duty of the Covenant to protect and embrace the Flood (Despite the fact that there is no evidence that the Forerunners created the Flood.).

Despite these radical beliefs, the Governors of Contrition are apparently accepted into society so long as their beliefs do not endanger others. Members of the group have even ascended to the rank of Ship Master in the case of Tano 'Inanraree.
