User:Impurest Cheese/Minister of Fortitude


 * The Minister of Fortitude is one of the last surviving members of the San 'Shyuum and is one of the three non Brute leaders of the Covenant Remnant.

Early Life

 * Little is known about the early life of the Minister of Fortitude although it is known that he didn't qualify for a place in the San 'Shyuum Guard that was stationed on Everlasting Serenity and that he spent a lot of time in Covenant Medical Facilities. During the end of the Age of Doubt he was promoted to the post of Minister of Fortitude.

9th Age of Reclamation

 * During the Age of Reclemation the Minister of Fortitude would travel to planets all across Covenant controlled space including Agric IV, Sulphane X and Palmork to find unknown and often deadly pathogens for study and to use for vaccinations. While on Agric IV the Minister almost died from inhaling toxic spores from the fungi found on the planet surface and had to be rescued by a group of Brutes. Around the same time the Covenant invaded Harvest and while in Hospital the Minister drafted a document to supply to the Covenant Council to use chemical and biological weapons against the enemy. Publiclly it was rejected but in the High Council's Private Chambers the Mercy and Truth would over rule Regret in favour for the use of biological weapons.

Covenant Civil War

 * During the Covenant Civil War the Minister retreated to a secret fortress on an asteroid far from the fighting along with his bodyguards to refine his chemicals for use against humans as well as new pathogens to use against the traitorus elites. When he recieved news that Truth had been killed and that the rings had not been activated he fell into a depression and became quite ill. His Bodyguards were quite worried and gathered up him and his samples of X-77 Pathogen and took off in the Minister's Modified Type-52 Troop Carrier to Dosiac the nearest planet which would not be hostile to them.

2nd Age of Vengence

 * After a brief stay in a medical centre on Dosiac the Minister was approached by Cheiftan Lepidus to mass produce his X-77 Pathogen. After returning to his fortress with several human prisoners he perfected the virus so it could not affect Covenant Troops. After a visit from the Minister of Tolerance the pathogen would be inserted into the methane tanks of Unggogy so that the virus could be released directly onto the front line. The first test subjects were delivered by the URF Frigate Revolutionary to the wreckage of the Swift Retaliation orbiting the planet of C2196. Unfortunately for the Minister, the Revolutionary was crewed by UNSC marines and crew men to stop the URF supplying the Covenant with equipment. The Minister would leave his samples fleeing in his Phantom leaving his bodyguards to their fate.

Halo: Hostilities

 * Rumours about Halo: Hostilities state that one of the Bosses is a Prophet. Since only three Prophets are known to exist with the Covenant Remenant.

Appearance & Personality

 * Due to his old age the Minister walks with a stoop and often stumbles when he is moving. When he has to move the Minister straps on a Gravity Belt to make his movements more fluid although he often kept his bodyguards at hand. The Minister's hair was grey and his eyes have been darkened by a disease he caught while travelling through the galaxy.


 * The Minister of Fortitude and prefers like most Prophets to let others do his fighting for him although his medical conditions may reduce his combat abilities. Like most of his race the Minister's title is very ironic as he is physically very frail even for a San 'Shyuum. He is overly protective of his pathogens and chemicals and has been known to activate the defence systems of his fortress to deal with attackers.
