Another action of his that is a mystery is the replacing of the Elites with the Brutes in Covenant society. Truth's only reason for why Brutes replaced Elites was that Elites "could no longer guarantee the safety" of the Prophets<ref>[[Halo 2]], Level [[Sacred Icon (Level)]]</ref> due to the death of Regret, but it is already clear that Regret's death was a combination of his own recklessness and Truth's recall of the dropships that were inbound to save him. | Another action of his that is a mystery is the replacing of the Elites with the Brutes in Covenant society.

Truth's belief in the Covenant religion is also in question. He appears to have had ample time to scrutinize [[343 Guilty Spark]] after it was captured from the [[Gas Mine]], and it is likely that Spark "edified" Truth in the same way as [[Sesa 'Refumee]], who led a [[Heretics|rebellion]] against the religion. If this is the case, it is also unclear then exactly why Truth wishes to activate [[the Halos]] and kill all life, including his own empire, if he knows there is no [[Great Journey]]. Although perhaps Truth already knew of the purpose of the rings, as the Prophets were the original discoverers of the information regarding the Halos and of the Forerunners that built them. They then used this to stop their war with the Elites and form the Covenant with them at the top. This may have been part of a plot to use the Halos and the Ark/Shield world, as a means of destroying all their enemies in a single blow, while they survived. Obviously such a plot would have been kept very secret, within the higher ranks of the Prophet Hierarchs. Regret was confirmed to be a newer Hierarch and may not have known of the truth yet. This explains why Truth and Mercy were so focused on stopping him, thinking he may have interfered with their plan, and thus called of any rescue and had him killed when he refused to stop and return to High Charity. | Truth's belief in the Covenant religion is also in question.

One such speculation is that perhaps the prophets want the elites eliminated after their recent questioning as to why the Prophets do not consider humans fit to join the Covenant. and that the prophet know that the humans are the ones that are supposed to interpret and discover the Forerunner's creations being that humans make better work of their own tech and Forerunner objects and is seen how some Spartans can read ancient Forerunner writings in the Ghosts of Onyx. | One such speculation is that perhaps the prophets want the elites eliminated after their recent questioning as to why the Prophets do not consider humans fit to join the Covenant. and that the prophet know that the humans are the ones that are supposed to interpret and discover the Forerunner's creations being that humans make better work of their own tech and Forerunner objects and is seen how some Spartans can read ancient Forerunner writings in the Ghosts of Onyx. | ||
