Zo Resken had been present in the Fleet of Particular Justice when it had arrived in the [[Soell System]] in [[2552#September|September, 2552]], after pursuing the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} from [[Reach]]. Resken suspected that the Prophet of Truth wanted him to serve as a buffer between the Hierarch and the [[Sangheili]] within the fleet, due to his affinity with the species. During the [[Battle of Installation 04|battle]] on the surface of the newly-discovered [[Installation 04]], Resken oversaw Sangheili combat units that fought against the human forces. Towards the end of the battle, Resken only just managed to withdraw his troops from the ring before it was destroyed by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]]. At some point following the destruction of Installation 04, Resken wrote a secret document, the ''[[Notes on the History of the Covenant]]'', in which he briefly recounted the history of the Covenant, the integration of its multiple client species, as well as his own personal opinions including his distrust of the [[Jiralhanae]] and private disagreements regarding the Hierarch's genocidal campaign on the human race.

Knowing that the opinions detailed in the document would be considered [[List of known Covenant heretics|heretical]] by the Covenant, Resken kept it hidden safely locked away, only to be revealed to the public after his death. Resken wrote the original document in the [[San'Shyuum language]]. Shortly after the Halo ring's destruction, Resken found himself appointed as the Secondary Administrator to the Prophet of Truth on [[High Charity]], a position in which he was secretly embittered with. The discovery of a [[Installation 05|second]] ring [[2552#November|less than two months later]] led to newfound elation within Resken, who had been despondent after the destruction of Installation 04. This happiness would be short-lived, however; moments after High Charity had arrived at the installation, Resken received news of the Prophet of Regret's assassination at the hands of the same "[[Covenant religion#Demons|Demon]]" that had destroyed Alpha Halo.<ref name="bc15"/> | ||
