Talk:Prophet of Mercy

Where did you get the Hud Rumnt?I'm really curious about that part.Halo3 19:41, 15 January 2007 (UTC)--Halo3

The Halo 2 Prophet of Mercy Exclusive action figure box description is where that little detail came from. -ED 20:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I wonder if he's going to be in Halo 3, even though he's dead. If he's a Prophet Form, he could be in Halo 3, but the actor died. But then again, Julie Benz isn't gonna be Miranda Keyes in Halo 3, so you never know. Epeu

I think he will be a Prophet form like Regret. I sense

Mercy's Last Words

You know Mercy's last line before he died? When he said that "None of you will be left behind." to the Master Chief? Why do you think he would say those words to the Chief who is his enemy? - 49_Harboring_Enmity 19:36, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Even though Truth had betrayed him, he still believed in the Covenant and was gloating. He knew something about the Forerunners leaving humanity behind when they went on their 'Great Journey', and was implying that humanity would be wiped out before the Covenant ascend to godhood. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 21:58, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

So...

This article states that Mercy was elected before Truth or Regret were even born. However, according to the epilogue of Contact Harvest, all three were elected at the same time (before they were known as Minister of Fortitude, Vice Minister of Tranquility, and the Philologist. Is there a source for his election, or is this speculation on their relative ages? How do we reconcile this conflict? P03 James 02:29, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

He was elected high prophet at the same time , but not to the council-croix129

This is very true, he could serve on the council as a lesser prophet. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 01:04, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Move

Suggest moving to "Hod Rumnt". "Prophet of Mercy" is a title, one that is not set in stone. We do not put ranks in article titles, why this? --Dragonclaws^(talk) 01:40, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

The naming of a prophet appears to be a rite of passage and based on what the Prophet chose to be called. Mercy may have been named "Hod Rumnt" when he was born and before he became hierarch, but he chose the new name for himself when he took the position, similarly to how the Pope takes on a new name when he is elected pope, leaving his birth name behind. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 23:27, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, okay, that makes sense. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 01:00, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

You'll notice as a philologist he is the leader for all of the Ascetic priests, which is a position very likely to be one within the council itself. After all, what is more important than religion to the Covenant?InnerRayg 01:05, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
