The Legate appears in the [[Halo Graphic Novel]], in the story "[[Infinite Succor]]" when [[Spec Ops Elite]] [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] and a [[Covenant]] Strike Team boards the ship in orbit over [[Installation 04]] after a [[Covenant]] [[Spirit]] dropship filled with [[Flood]]-infected [[humans]] crashes into the ship's docking bay. The group fights its way through several new [[Flood]] types (as the ship contains an infected hunting ground) all the way to the bridge, only to find [[Infinite Succor]]'s controls disabled.

The group fights its way through several new [[Flood]] types (as the ship contains an infected hunting ground) all the way to the bridge, only to find [[Infinite Succor]]'s controls disabled.  


Here they meet the [[Prophet]] Legate, Minister of Etiology who reveals to them that he has disabled the controls, and locked-out the self-destruct sequence over-ride from another part of the ship. The Minister orders the entire group medically scanned before he will meet with them, due to the situation of [[Flood]] outbreak aboard the ship.

The group meets with the Legate in a secret location on the ship, where a plan is devised to get everyone off of the ship and have the ship vaporized by the nearby [[Fleet of Particular Justice|Covenant Fleet]]. During this time it also becomes apparent that the [[Flood]] have gained the access codes to [[Infinite Succor]] through one of the infected [[Elites]] from [[Rtas 'Vadumee|Rtas]] party. As the [[Flood]] continue to spread throughout the ship, they gain access to the bridges and engineering room and have begun fortifying the engineering room. The [[Flood]] were attempting a [[Slipspace]] jump to escape the system. At this time, [[Rtas 'Vadumee|Rtas]] realizes the Legate is only concerned with his own safety, which has been costing the group precious time. In anger, [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] slams the Legate into the floor, telling him that their prime concern is the [[Covenant]]'s safety, not his.

During this time it also becomes apparent that the [[Flood]] have gained the access codes to ''[[Infinite Succor]]'' through one of the infected [[Elites]] from [[Rtas 'Vadumee|'Vadumee]]'s party. As the [[Flood]] continue to spread throughout the ship, they reach the bridges and engineering room and have begun fortifying the engineering room. The [[Flood]] were attempting a [[Slipspace]] jump to escape the system.

The Minister was later absorbed by the Flood, before the ''Infinite Succor'' was destroyed.

Although the Minister is eventually absorbed by [[Flood]], [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] is able to set [[Infinite Succor]] on a [[Slipspace]] course, directly into the nearest star ([[Threshold]] System). It was also here that [[Rtas 'Vadumee]], in a fight against the [[Flood]]-infected [[Elite]], Sub-Commander [[Kusovai]], lost his left mandibles to [[Kusovai]]'s [[Energy Sword]]. [[Rtas 'Vadumee|Rtas]] escapes the [[Infinite Succor]] just prior to the doomed [[Slipspace]] jump, and is apparently the only survivor of the mission.
[[Rtas 'Vadumee]] goes on to eventually become the [[Special Operations Commander of the Covenant|Leader]] of the [[Covenant Special Operations]] in [[Halo 2]] and a [[Shipmaster]] in [[Halo 3]].
