Production notesEdit
- "The faith of the newly converted burns bright enough to consume any truth.[1]"
The Flight preview builds for Series 8: Mythic contained an additional helmet that was later cut from the final release. The helmet, Blackguard Tearful Bishop, was featured in the original flight and given an official description in the accompanying Canon Fodder article released alongside the armours - though ultimately absent from the final release.[1] The Halo 20th Anniversary celebration event in November 2021 ultimately saw a redesigned form of the Tearful Bishop, the Fallen Equerry, added into the game.
