User:Ebon Shadowshot/Prophet of Reincarnation

"The Covenant is the binding agreement between the Sangheili and the San 'Shyuum. They are the 'Elites' of the Covenant who fight for the cause while we are the 'Prophets' who research and uncover the secrets of the Forerunners."

- The Prophet of Reincarnation on The Covenant.

The High Prophet of Reincarnation was a San 'Shyuum Philologist and a Reformist during the San 'Shyuum Civil War. After the Reformist victory over the Stoics in the war and the stalemate of the Sangheili-San 'Shyuum war, Reincarnation became one of the first three High Prophets of the Covenant after it's formation. Reincarnation was considered the wisest of the High Prophets (Reincarnation, Truth and Despair). Truth's lack of wisdom lead to his and Reincarnation's demise in 837 B.C when Truth tampered with a Forerunner artifact. Reincarnation was the ancestor of the Prophet of Mercy and his offspring.

San 'Shyuum Civil War
At the time of the San 'Shyuuum Civil War, Reincarnation was known as Har Rumnt, a philologist on the homeworld. As the Stoics and the Reformists began quarreling, Reincarnation generally agreed with the Reformist's point of view; with the exception of greater power which he did not need. When open conflict began, Reincarnation and a team of Reformist soldiers managed to breach the Forerunner Dreadnought. From their, Reincarnation discovered technology so advanced that the San 'Shyuum could not dream of being able to compare. As the months went on, Reincarnation began to re-engineer the technology in a way to discover how it was made. Reincarnation did not care for the weapons used by the military for more powerful weapons. In the closing days of the war, Reincarnation discovered a fragment of a Forerunner AI. The only words it uttered in the time Reincarnation could research it were "Medicant Bias- must find the ark".
