'''Deacon''' is a [[Covenant]] title. As the name suggests, a Deacon is used for religious reasons rather than combat. The rank of Deacon only exists within the [[Ministry of Tranquility]], and is the lowest rank available. A Deacon is sent to help reinforce the spirituality of ships in which not much is present. They are taught in the religion of the Covenant and work to increase faith in others. Deacons are also learned in the "Sacred Glyphs" that the [[Forerunners]] use in their machines. | '''Deacon''' is a [[Covenant]] title.

Deacon is the only title in the Ministry of Tranquility that is open to [[Unggoy]], likely making the rank the only governmental position that Unggoy can hold. Deacon is also one of the few jobs Unggoy can get that does not involve hard manual labor or military service. It is noted that Unggoy Deacons are quite rare due to the intelligence that the job requires - whether other races can also hold the title is uncertain. Unggoy Deacons command more respect than the rank and file Grunts, but are still held in low esteem; a Kig-Yar [[Ship Master|Shipmistress]] named [[Chur'R-Yar]] was even tempted to order a Deacon named [[Dadab]] to be pushed out of an airlock, despite the Unggoy being an official Ministry representative, and only restrained herself from doing so | Deacon is the only title in the Ministry of Tranquility that is open to [[Unggoy]], likely making the rank the only governmental position that Unggoy can hold.

Unggoy Deacons do not command as much authority as even a [[Kig-Yar Minor]], and so it is unlikely that they minister to any of the other races. | ||
Another duty given to Unggoy Deacons is to ensure that the [[Kig-Yar]] crews of the Ministry missionary ships obey Ministry laws and regulation. Given their low rank, the piratical nature of the Kig-Yar, and the contempt in which Kig-Yar hold Unggoy, this is a largely hopeless endeavor. | Another duty given to Unggoy Deacons is to ensure that the [[Kig-Yar]] crews of the Ministry missionary ships obey Ministry laws and regulation.
