Prophetess of Lecherousness

The Prophetess of Lecherousness (born name Vera Grak) is a female San 'Shyumm who lead the New Covenant Empire from 2554 up to 2573. She was one of three Hierarchs alongside the Prophet of Decadence and the Prophet of Optimism. She is the eldest of the three.

Pre Human-Covenant War
The Prophetess of Lecherousness was born as Vera Grazuo on board the mobile planetoid of High Charity. Her personal life regarded many Religious studies and eventually she came to the decision of Celibacy around 2400 inorder to focus on more important matters. It is also known that she somehow knew the Prophets of Truth and Mercy prior to them becoming Hierarchs of the Covenant and apparently she was close to the two (or believed herself to be), though how these meetings occurred is unknown. What is known is that she did minor actions alongside the future Prophet of Regret at one time, which lead the two to become at least aqquaintences. She also was somewhat of a rights activist during her time on High Charity as she would treat all races equally including the Grunts unlike most members of the covenant. She apparently hoped for a future of equality between the species of the covenant. Eventually was elected into the High Council of High Charity circa 2490. While on the council, she took part in many trials, including that of the alleged Attempted Assassinator of the High Prophet of Tolerance, a Shipmistress who deliberately went against all protocols, and a Grunt who caused the destruction of a prized High Charity monument. She also was present for the Trial of her very own sibling, the Minister of Physcology who was found guilty of treason and Executed. She did however leave High Charity on her own accord on the Fleet of Particular Justice as it was heading off to Reach.

Fall of Reach
Grazuo was on the Fleet of Particular Justice's ship Elegant Liberty when the fleet reached Earth. She was one of only two Prophets on the fleet, the other being the Prophet of Stewardship. Though not supposed to be present, she was not escorted back to High Charity due to the danger of the battle, and in-fact became a minor leader during the Battle of Reach. Her first example of actions was being the force who ordered for the forces that attacked Sword Base, including sending down the corvette. Of course, her forces ended up being destroyed by the Noble Team of Spartans.

Her primary action was sending down numerous forces towards Noble Team's attempt at protecting the Pillar of Autumn. Several Phantoms, Banshees, and even a CCS-class battlecruiser were sent down only to be destroyed by Noble Six. After the Pillar of Autumn got away, Vera followed the idea from Thel 'Vadammee of following the ship.

Installation 04
Gazuo was with the Fleet of Particular Justice for the final time when it followed the Pillar of Autumn to the location of the Alpha Halo, Installation 04. Unlike 'Vadamee or The Prophet of Stewardship however, she was finally forced to leave once contacted by the Prophets of Truth and Mercy regarding her absence. They were not pleased with her leave to be present in the battle of Reach, but were pleased to here the discovery of Installation 04. Regardless, Vera decided it was best to return to High Charity rather than stay for the Battle of Installation 04. She was escorted back on Elegant Liberty following the crash of the Pillar of Autumn. Upon the news of the Ring's destruction, she along with many were upset. She also turned against 'Vadamee during the resulting trial, despite the fact she did nothing to stop him from doing his actions of following the ship that eventually lead to the destruction of the first Halo.

The Great Schism
The death of the Prophet of Regret was not a high hurt to Vera, though the replacement of the Elites with the Brutes was. For someone who supported an idea of Species Equality despite being a part of the Covenant, and approached Truth and Mercy. She was not pleased with their decision to change the roles, claiming them of being highly unjust to the Elites, but of course neither Truth nor Mercy listened to the Prophetess, though Truth was insulted when he was referred to by his real name (Ord Casto) from Vera. This act got Vera deposed from the High Council, but did not get get her exiled from High Charity. Despite this, she stayed with the Covenant Loyalists and left High Charity as part of Truth's fleet when the Elites rebelled against the Loyalists and formed the Separtists. She was not aboard the Dreadnought. She was not surprised to learn about the death of the Prophet of Mercy, and even speculated that Truth had some role in it (which was true).

Installation 00
Vera, now deposed from her rank, was now reduced to practically nothing to the Covenant. As such, when she was present on the CCS-Class battlecruiser that flew over the city of Voi and John-117 to reach the escavation of the Portal to the Ark she had no command on-board the ship. All that she could do was be on-board when her ship was among those escaping into the portal.

She eventually did take part in command following the death of another Prophet onboard her ship (which coincidentally was the Elegant Liberty), and as only Prophet on board, she took control of minor team of followers and lead a fight against the intruders. However, the ship was far too damaged for her to continue on it. As such, she lead as many passengers as she could onto a Type-52 Phantom and they escaped onto the surface of Installation 00 while being damaged from enemy fire. They crash landed just as a group of ODST went on a mission into the desert, specifically crashing near the Citadel. The phantom landed on the cliff, and began to quickly slide towards the edge. However, a Brute named Zharakus managed to toss the Prophetess onto the ground and save himself before the Dropship slid completely off of the cliff leaving several Unggoy and Kig-Yar as well as a Brute Pack with a Chieftan to their fates. Both once the Prophet of Truth arrived at the area, he had them both taken onto another battlecruiser and away from the Citadel, where he would carry out his final plan to begin the great journey as well as meet his end at the hands of the Arbiter.

Vera and Zharakus went seperate ways on the cruiser, and following the death of Truth they were among the many loyalist forces forced to leave the Separtist space.

Becoming a Hierarch
Once the Loyalists were on their own, it was then that Vera was present at the formation of the New Covenant Empire alongside Optimism and Decadence. During said meeting, she was elected as the third Hierach and chose the name of Lecherousness. Her first act as Hierarch was a more equal treatment to the races, which both other prophets opposed (especially Decadence), which eventually lead to it being rejected as a law.

Betrayed by Decadence
Following the death of the Prophet of Optimism at the hands of the Separtists (via trickery from Decadence), Lecherousness was tricked by Decadence into heading to a Human Colony called Grand Faith. Once she and her small fleet arrived they were instantly attacked by the forces of the UNSC, and though her forces fought valiantly against the treat, her ship was ultimately boarded and she was held prisoner by the UNSC. Though contacted, Decadence did not accept the offer of rescuing the female Hierarch, and left her to her fate at the hands of the UNSC. However, she was instead given to the Covenant Separtists to deal with. It was after a brief discussion with Thel 'Vadam (The Arbiter) that she revealed what has become of the Covenant Loyalists and even gave out the last known locations of Decadence's fleet. This managed to get her a position as a High Prophetess of the Covenant Separtists.

Covenant Separtists
Her position on the Covenant Separtists is called "High Prophetess" though her role is not as an absolute leader. It is an equivelant to a UNSC commander but with the addition of being the primary Religious leader among the Separtists. Her words of Equality are finally accepted among the Covenant Separtists, at least more than they were with the Loyalists.

 * Her relationship with Truth and Mercy is unknown, though it is known they knew eachother prior to the Human-Covenant war.
 * She does not trust the corporation CovTech.
