Tem'Bhetek lived on [[High Charity]], the holy city of the [[Covenant]]. Tem had been born to a bloodline that had grown too large due to overbreeding.

Upon the orders of the [[High Prophet of Truth]], Tem and his fellow Prelates were assigned aboard older Covenant [[warship]]s entrusted to particularly loyal [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftains]] and their [[clan]]s to aid in [[Human-Covenant War|the emerging war]] with [[human]]ity in around [[2525]]. Officially, the Prelates were to serve as technical advisers to the Jiralhanae to train them to use their newly acquired ships, though in reality they were tasked by Truth with refitting the surplus warships and training the Jiralhanae in preparation for the [[Hierarch]]'s inevitable betrayal of the [[Sangheili]].<ref name="soi44">'''Halo: Shadow of Intent''', ''pages 44-46'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Tem was assigned to the {{ | Upon the orders of the [[High Prophet of Truth]], Tem and his fellow Prelates were assigned aboard older Covenant [[warship]]s entrusted to particularly loyal [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftains]] and their [[clan]]s to aid in [[Human-Covenant War|the emerging war]] with [[human]]ity in around [[2525]].
