Since they bear the status of political figureheads most Prophets are physically quite frail creatures. Preferring to move around via gravity belt, or anti gravity throne in the case of the High Prophets. A life of inaction leaves most, if not all Prophets withered and weak. Since part of their ancient history concerns a long and bloody war with the [[Sangheili]] at some point the Prophets must have been physically powerful and capable warriors. Perhaps generations of decadance and reverence have left them as frail shadows of those earlier soldiers. | Since they bear the status of political figureheads most Prophets are physically quite frail creatures.

Each Prophet has distinct often furry lobes of skin hanging underneath their chin similar to a beard. Those Prophets of greater age, for example the [[High Prophet of Mercy]] have skin lobes on either side of their heads reminiscent of ears. Prophets have three digits on each hand, and are usually found wearing ornamental pieces that may also double as life support systems. These head-pieces bear a holographic representation of a [[Halo]], but each is uniquely shaped and highly ornamental.

These head-pieces bear a holographic representation of a [[Halo]], but each is uniquely shaped and highly ornamental. However [[Prophet Councilors]] have been seen wearing more functional robes that lack any ornamentation what so ever. These Prophets may have a lower status and as a result wear simple robes and can be found on the seating above the [[Council Chamber]] accompanying [[Sangheili Councilors]]. | ||
