Truth's plans were derailed, however, by the appearance of [[John-117]] and [[Thel 'Vadam]], who had formed a temporary alliance with the Gravemind and its Flood. Truth's guards were overwhelmed by the surge of Flood on the bridge, and by the time John-117 and Thel reached Truth, he was already succumbing to a Flood infection form. Declaring his vengeance on a Prophet, not a parasite, the Arbiter held Truth by the throat forcing him to watch John-117 deactivate the Halo Array. Truth gave a final, defiant declaration of his holiness before being stabbed through the chest by 'Vadam's Energy Sword. The supreme leader of the Covenant was dead, and what was left of his empire crumbled away soon after. | Truth's plans were derailed, however, by the appearance of [[John-117]] and [[Thel 'Vadam]], who had formed a temporary alliance with the Gravemind and its Flood.

In public, Truth displayed a calm, stoic personality. During Thel 'Vadamee's trial he expressed little or no emotion whatsoever despite the fact that Installation 04 was an irreplaceable relic. However, he was quick to become angry towards those, like his fellow Hierarch Regret, who did something foolish or reckless. If so angered, Truth was quick to dispose of his enemies, directly or through careful plotting. After arriving on Earth, Truth appeared noticeably more aggressive and impatient, possibly having grown annoyed by the "Demon" interfering in his ascent to godhood. | In public, Truth displayed a calm, stoic personality.
