Biography

Searching for the Keystone

In 2552, the Prophet of Mercy visited Makee in her room on High Charity following the Attack on Madrigal, addressing her as Blessed One. Mercy told Makee of the report of a surviving Sangheili who had witnessed a Demon touch the Forerunner artifact that they were after and had it respond to him in the same way that Forerunner artifacts did to Makee. Mercy also expressed interest in the human book that Makee was reading, suggesting that she could read it to him one day. Makee demanded to speak to the surviving warrior herself about what he had witnessed.^[2]

Makee later listened to the warrior's story and recognized that the artifact really was one of the keystones that could lead them to the Sacred Ring. Makee decided to go after the keystone herself, briefly arguing with the Hierarchs and pointing out that she could blend in with the humans better than anyone else. Left alone, Makee undressed herself, revealing a scar on her back.^[3]
