Ministers

History

Writ of Union

The Ministry of Abnegation was formed around the time the Writ of Union was formed. Under the terms of the Union the Ascetics were dissolved and reconstituted under the then-newly formed Ministry, where for centuries the Ascetics served.[1]

Great Schism

Following the demise of the Covenant and its ministries during the Great Schism, the Ascetics were revived as an independent order by Sangheili warriors.[1]

Trivia

Abnegation to deny or renounce something, which fits with the Asceticism's role of self-denial.
