User:SPARTAN 119/Prophet of Hostility

The Prophet of Hostility is a Covenant Prophet of the High Council, and, for a few months between the death of the Prophet of Mercy and his death in 2552, a Hierarch.

Early Life
Like most Prophets, almost nothing is known about his early life, except that he was born sometime around 2500.

Member of the Covenant High Council/Ship Commander
As a member of the Covenant High Council, The Prophet of Hostility was, as his name suggest, a major proponent of the genocidal war against the humans, perhapos even more so than the Hierarchs themselves. The Propet of Hostility also took personal command of his the Assault Carrier Divine Vengeance during the Human-Covenant War. Hostiliy's first action as a ship commander was during the Battle of Harvest, where his fleet met defeat at the hands of Admiral Preston Cole of the UNSC Navy, though only because Cole's fleet outnumbered Hostility's three to one. Hostility avenged his defeat when he lead the forces that attacked Jericho VII, Biko, New Constantinople, and Reach annihilating hundred of UNSC ships and glassing the planets. The Divine Vengeance itself destroyed over 20 UNSC warships, including a supercarrier at Reach. Hostility was also the one who ordered the Elite who would become the Arbiter to chase the UNSC Pillar of Autumn with his crusier, the Truth and Reconciliation from Reach to Halo. While the Arbiter was blamed by the High Council, including Hostility himself for failing to successfully destroy the Autumn and the resulting Covenant rout at Alpha Halo, it was, in fact Hostility who set in motion the chain of events that eventually lead to the Covenant's downfall. Hostility was not present at the First Battle of Earth or the Battle of Delta Halo, but, after the Flood attacked High Charity and killed The Prophet of Mercy, Hostility was declared by The Prophet of Truth as a new hierarch.

Prophet Hierarch of the Covenant
Hostility's tenure as a Hierarch has the dubious distinctions of bieng one of the shortest in Covenant history. After the discovery of what was believed at the time to be the Ark, Truth and Hostility personally lead a fleet of Covenant ships to Earth. Shortly after Truth's Forerunner Dreadnought landed on Earth, the Divine Vengeance was sighted just out of the lunar perimeter. Unbeknownst to the Prophet of Hostility, he was in the crosshairs of an Antimatter-Tipped Shiva Missile launched by a UNSC Air Force F/A 712 Scimitar Fighter piloted by Major Ross East. The antimatter warhead impacted the Divine Vengeance and exploded with 100 times the force of a hydrogen bomb, depleting the energy shields and and annihilated the carrier and the prophet along with it.
