The '' | The ''Harbinger of Piety'' was present during the [[Battle for Earth]] and carried at least one [[San'Shyuum]] [[Minister (title)|Minister]], the [[Minister of Inquisition]].{{Ref/Reuse|U4}} However, it is unknown if the cruiser was present during the [[Battle of Cleveland]]. While the siege of the city was raging, the Minister was curious about a supposed [[Forerunner]] artifact called the [[Key of Osanalan]], which was, in fact, fake. It had been made up by [[James Ackerson|James]] and [[Ruwan Ackerson]] when they were young.{{Ref/Reuse|U4}} | ||
Ruwan Ackerson had met the Covenant and told the Covenant that he was actually the "key". Confused, the Covenant took the human to the ''Harbinger'' via a [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]], where the Minister of Inquisition vows to spare Earth from the invasion in exchange for knowledge of the apparent "key". In reality, Ruwan had been implanted with an organic tracker for the UNSC to find and destroy high ranking Covenant officials. During the [[Scramble onboard Forerunner Dreadnought|scramble]] aboard the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Anodyne Spirit|Forerunner Dreadnought]], the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] was ordered to find a way off the Covenant command [[flagship]] to avoid being caught in the impending destruction of ''Harbinger of Piety'' which was near the [[keyship]]. The [[Nassau Station]] eventually proceeded to destroy the ''Harbinger of Piety'' with a single shot from its [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC gun]], killing everyone aboard including the Minister of Inquisition and Ruwan Ackerson.<ref name="U4">'''[[Halo: Uprising]]''', ''[[Halo: Uprising Issue 4|Issue 4]]''</ref> | Ruwan Ackerson had met the Covenant and told the Covenant that he was actually the "key".
