User:Ebon Shadowshot/Prophet of Tolerance (Stel-verse)

"Sometimes I think to myself, why did Truth distrust the Sangheili? Look where it got him."

- The Prophet of Tolerance to Doug-103.

The Prophet of Tolerance (birth name Ran Lummit) was a High Prophet of the Covenant during the 23rd Age of Doubt. He, along with the Prophet of Restrain and the Prophetess of Obligation was deposed from the role of High Prophet in 2524. He served as the Ministry of Research until the events of the Great Schism when he seemed to have disappeared. He was rediscovered in 2555 by Stel 'Vadam and Doug-103 onboard his ship, the Lightning Grace. Presently, he over-sees the future of the San'Shyuum species.

Hierarchy
Tolerance, Obligation and Restrain became High Prophets in 2476. They lead the Covenant during the 23rd Age of Doubt. In the later years of their reign Tolerance became responsible for the creation of Five Hundred teams consisting of the most clever and most educated Sangheili and Unggoy to study the languages of the humans. Unfortunatly for Tolerance, the mating of Restrain and Obligation and the birth of illegitimate offspring forged a conspiracy and forced Tolerance, Restrain and Obligation to step down. He was replaced by the Prophets of Truth, Regret and Mercy.

Minister of Research
After being deposed, Tolerance became the Minister of Research. Like his roles as High Prophet, he still lead the five hundred teams to research the human language. He efforts proved successful and the news spread throughout the covenant. By 2541, almost the entire covenant had learned the English language, although it was rarely used.

Battle of Installation 05
Tolerance briefly visited Installation 05 to research the Forerunner systems on the planet. He discovered how the Sentinel Wall's shield operated and informed Tartarus and the Hierarchs about the plans. However, after the death of the High Prophet of Regret and the discovery of the Flood, Tolerance left Installation 05, and informed Tartarus of the high level of flood activity inside the wall.

The Great Schism
As the Great Schism began, Tolerance realised that the Sangheili were trying to kill the Prophets. Tolerance found Obligation and Restrain and their children and boarded one of the Prophet's personal ships and left High Charity. The three were then not seen nor their death's confirmed.

Battle of Doisac
As the Sangheili slaughtered the diminishing numbers of the Jiralhanae above and on Doisac, the United Nations Space Command aided their allies in space. When Stel 'Vadam and Doug-103 were sent of a recon mission to find any flanking Jiralhanae ships. Instead, they discovered the Lightning Grace, wondering why an old model of Spacecraft was been used, a squad of Sangheili and Marines boarded the ship. The group found no Jiralhanae, only Hurogok. The group eventually reached the command centre and discovered six San 'Shyuum. Tolerance, Obligation, Restrain and their three, now grown up offspring. The six Prophets were taken prisoner and the Hurogok brought in for service to the Sangheili. When questioned, Tolerance explained how they fled the Great Schism and how they survived by living on the planets they came by. He also explained how they had no alliegence to the Jiralhane and from the Lightning Grace, the three Prophets were over-seeing the future of their species. They were freed and brought into Sangheili service, being watched carefully by the Sangheili and the UNSC.
