Background

During the Age of Conversion, the Hunters resisted conquest more strongly than the other races, which resulted in the creation of an Arbiter to help "tame" them. It is also possible that the Grunts were one of the species that was conquered rather than converted. Almost nothing else is known about how the other races became part of the Covenant.

As the Covenant would have only picked 'worthy' species, it is likely that these beings would have, at some time in their history, either met the Forerunners, discovered Forerunner artifacts, or evolved on a Forerunner planet.


Progression of the Ages

During the Progression of the Ages, an appropriate dialogue is as followed:[1]

Leader, or Chieftain: Conversion.
Congregation, or Pack: Fifth! Obedience and freedom!

Representation

The Age of Discovery is represented by an unknown mineral.[1]
