During the [[Ages of Doubt|23rd Age of Doubt]], [[2524]] by the UNSC [[Military Calendar]], Regret held the post of Vice Minister of Tranquility.

Tranquility sent a Sangheili crew to search for survivors of [[Minor Transgression|the ship]] that discovered Harvest and, at Fortitude's recommendation, told the Sangheili to execute survivors if they were found with stolen artifacts.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 156-157''</ref> After conspiring with Fortitude to gain these artifacts for their own use, he helped him by pretending to sympathize with those [[Roll of Celibates|blacklisted from reproducing]] due to inbreeding, which included the [[Prophet of Restraint]]. After pretending to be the father of two children Restraint had unlawfully fathered, Tranquility blackmailed Restraint into stepping down from his position as High Prophet.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 265-267''</ref>

Before their coup, the Prophets visited the [[Philologist]] [[Prophet of Mercy|Hod Rumnt]], leader of the [[Asceticism|ascetic priests]] aboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] and keeper of the Oracle, which was actually the long-dormant [[Mendicant Bias]], an ancient [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] that had not spoken to anyone for thousands of years.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 271''</ref> When the [[Luminary|Luminaries]] of Harvest were entered into its matrix, the Oracle reactivated and said the symbols had been misinterpreted: the symbol didn't mean "Reclamation", but "Reclaimer", who it called his makers.

Tranquility refused to believe this and accused the Philologist of tampering with the Oracle.

As such, their ascension was made, taking the names of Truth, Regret and Mercy.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 381''</ref>
