Talk:Prophet of Truth: Difference between revisions

Line 185:

:I'd like to think he was hinging his bets - if Halo really did kill everything else off, then he'd be left as a virtual "god" of an empty galaxy. But really, the Halo 3 Truth is far more of an unhinged zealot than his Halo 2 incarnation, which I would have believed of. I think it more likely that by this point Truth has convinced himself of his own lies. If it's not obvious by the time Arbiter shows him his stabs, Truth has become insane. -- [[User:Specops306|Specops306]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|Autocrat]] [[User talk:Specops306|Qur'a 'Morhek]] 06:12, 3 December 2011 (EST)

:No, I doubt that his motivations were of anything but a religious nature. While I suppose he became slightly disillusioned with the Covenant faith after his encounter with a fragment of [[Mendicant Bias]], whom revealed the [[Reclaimer|heirs]] of the true Forerunners were actually Humans. I don't think he renounced his entire belief in the Great journey. He likely believed that they were still celestial and transcendental relics of divinity. The prophet of Truth waged a genocidal war on humanity to maintain that belief in the Great Journey is preserved among the Covenant and so that they would be the species to inherit the rewards of it.

I also do not think he would be aware of Halo's range of fire. According to the Covenant, they believe that the Halo Array controls the fate of the universe and award them godhood (like it did with the forerunners). The Halo Array's true purpose is actually that of galactic extermination to destroy the Flood. So I do not think they will have a perfect knowledge of Halo's mechanisms. To quote 343 Guilty Spark:
