The '''High Prophet of Solemnity'''{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P245|Enc22|Page=245}} was one of the [[Hierarchs|High Prophets]] of the [[Covenant]] in the mid-22nd century.<ref>'''Halo 2: Anniversary''', ''Terminals''</ref> | |||
==Biography== | |||
The High Prophet of Solemnity called an audience with then-current [[Arbiter]] [[Fal 'Chavamee]], who believed that the [[Sangheili]] had forsaken their honor during their service to the Covenant; more pointedly, 'Chavamee had refused to acknowledge the [[Covenant religion]]. The Hierarch urged 'Chavamee to recant his views, but the Arbiter defiantly claimed the Great Journey, the cornerstone of Covenant faith, to be a lie. After the audience had ended, Solemnity declared 'Chavamee a heretic and recruited the Arbiter's clansman [[Haka 'Suukaree]] as an enforcer to kill his clan leader.<ref name="Duel">'''Halo Legends:''' ''The Duel''</ref> | |||
Haka dispatched a team of assassins to kill the Arbiter, though 'Chavamee expected this turn of events and killed them. Haka then coerced [[Roh]], one of Fal's close friends, into killing Fal's wife, [[Han (Sangheili)|Han]]. After discovering Haka's treachery, Fal defeated a large [[Covenant military]] detachment that had been sent to kill him, then dueled Haka atop a [[Forerunner]] structure; both duelists were killed. After 'Chavamee's death, Solemnity declared that the title of Arbiter, previously a badge of honor, would thenceforth be a mark of shame.{{Ref/Reuse|Duel}} | |||
== | ==Production notes== | ||
*In ''[[The Duel]]'', the Hierarch closely resembles the [[Prophet of Truth]]. He is even credited as such in the Japanese language version of the episode. This may suggest that he was originally intended to be the namesake of the later Prophet, as the Hierarchs chose their regnal names from those of one of their predecessors. However, he is simply credited as "the Prophet" in the English dub of the episode. | |||
**His attire in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''{{'}}s [[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|terminals]] is markedly different, instead consisting of a purple, one-piece tunic; an emerald green, hornlike crown; and a simpler, more angular shoulder display. | |||
**The [[2022]] edition of the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]'' revealed this San'Shyuum's titled as the High Prophet of Solemnity,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P245}} likely meaning that Japanese credits for ''The Duel'' referred to him as the Prophet of Truth in error. | |||
