Prophet of Regret

"You would have us live with incompetent guards. Thanks to you Elites, I nearly died on the sacred ring!"

- Regret to Rtas 'Vidum

The Prophet of Regret was one of the three hierarchs of the Covenant Empire. He served alongside the Prophet of Truth and Mercy from 2524, after causing a scandal deposing the then-current leaders of the Covenant. He plays a role of supporting antagonist in an upcoming fan-fiction. Regret is the youngest of the three Prophets, and is loyal to Truth and is known to be reckless and quick-to-act.

In A Universe Splintered, he appears alongside Truth and Mercy in Installation 00 being escorted to safety from the Flood by their Brute Honour Guards.

Upcoming Fan-Fiction
Regret attended the trial of Thel 'Vadam in Late September 2552 via hologram, when he persuaded the Prophet of Truth to pass judgement quickly before the Council got out of hand with anger.

Regret lead a small fleet to Planet Earth in search of a portal to a place known as "The Ark". However misleading information lead him to believe that the planet would have no human presence. Forced to flee, Regret and his fleet escaped the planet via slipspace and arrived at one of the Halo Rings, Installation 05. Whilst there he sent a letter of apology to the Prophet of Truth and Mercy for his rash actions and asked for help as Human forces were quickly surrounding his position. Truth replied saying that if not for Mercy, Regret would have been left to die, but chose to give help. Just before his would-be assassins arrived to kill him, the city of High Charity appeared near Halo and Regret was picked up by a dropship to safety.

Once back on High Charity with his peers, Truth decided to replace the Elite Honour Guards with Brutes, using the near death of Regret as evidence that the Elites could no longer protect the Prophets. The trio then sent Thel 'Vadam, now an Arbiter down to the ring to retrieve a "sacred icon" required to activate the ring and fulfil the Covenant religion's promise of "the Great Journey".

After this what happens is unknown.
