The [[High Prophet of Regret]] led a botched mission to [[Earth]] and was forced into the [[First Battle of Earth]] upon discovering what turned out to be the [[UNSC]] homeworld. [[Regret]] escapes to [[Delta Halo]] but he is soon assassinated by the [[Master Chief]], which is considered a significant failure in the [[Elite]]s mission to protect the leading caste of the [[Covenant]]. The remaining [[Prophets]], led by the [[High Prophet of Truth]], use this opportunity to [[Changing of the Guard|replace]] the [[Elites]] with [[Brutes]] as their [[Brute Bodyguard|protectors]]. However, this move effectively shames and angers the [[Elites]], who have been in such a position since the founding of the [[Covenant]] and they threaten to resign from the [[High Council]]. | The [[High Prophet of Regret]] led a botched mission to [[Earth]] and was forced into the [[First Battle of Earth]] upon discovering what turned out to be the [[UNSC]] homeworld.

Once there were | [[Truth]] gave command of the [[Covenant Fleet]]s to the [[Brutes]], a position previously held by the [[Elites]]. Once there were enough and an ample amount of [[Brutes]] in place, [[Truth]] secretly ordered the [[Brutes]] to commit genocide of the [[Elites]]. With this act disguised and incognito as a [[Brute]] insurrection, the [[Brutes]] replaced the [[Elites]] within the society of the [[Covenant]]. The [[Elites]], of course, revolted, enlisting the help of most of the [[Hunters]] and [[Grunts]], birthing the [[Covenant Civil War]] in [[High Charity]]. | ||
Deep into the [[Covenant Civil War]], the [[Elite]] [[Councilors]] are assassinated by the [[Brutes]] at the will of the [[Prophets]], mainly [[Truth]]. When the Elites learn the truth about the [[Halos]], it changes the war significantly and adds the [[Humans]] to the struggle. Instead of a Great Journey, the [[Gravemind]]'s revelation regarding the super weapon contradicts the Covenant's belief system and is motivating at least the Arbiter in his eventual opposition to the Covenant as they try to activate Delta Halo later in the game. | Deep into the [[Covenant Civil War]], the [[Elite]] [[Councilors]] are assassinated by the [[Brutes]] at the will of the [[Prophets]], mainly [[Truth]].
