''In Amber Clad'' arrived in the system soon after and deployed [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] forces on Installation 05 along with [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]] to locate and kill Regret. The operation was a success, with the Spartan breaking through Covenant defenses, killing Regret and his [[Honor Guard|bodyguards]]. Soon afterward, Truth ordered the Phantoms to return to ''High Charity'' and an [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carrier]] to use its glassing beam to destroy the temple.

His recklessness and failure to communicate with the other Prophets caused significant trouble for Thel 'Vadamee and the Prophet of Truth when he ordered his forces to deal with the humans at the Rubble and the Kig-Yar trading with them. Upon learning the location of the Ark, Regret sped to Earth with an insufficient, hastily assembled fleet without consulting with his fellow Hierarchs first. Even as he faced Earth's formidable defenses he persistently headed for what he thought was an easy way for unlocking the Ark. This foolish mistake eventually cost him his life on Delta Halo. Regret did apologize to the Prophets of Truth and Mercy for his reckless and failed attack on Earth, although he may have simply been trying to ''justify'' his actions to which Truth responded in kind claiming that it was only thanks to Mercy that Regret "be spared of a public display" of their contempt. | His recklessness and failure to communicate with the other Prophets caused significant trouble for Thel 'Vadamee and the Prophet of Truth when he ordered his forces to deal with the humans at the Rubble and the Kig-Yar trading with them.

After his death by [[John-117]] and assimilation into the Gravemind, Regret showed no remorse for his actions against humanity however, and continued to preach the Covenant dogma, though he may not have been fully aware of his condition. | After his death by [[John-117]] and assimilation into the Gravemind, Regret showed no remorse for his actions against humanity however, and continued to preach the Covenant dogma, though he may not have been fully aware of his condition. | ||
