Prophet of Squalor

The Prophet of Squalor, born name unknown, was a Prophet assigned to possibly assist the Prophet of Equality on his Assault Carrier. He was also a councilor of the Jiralhanae Separtists, who was present for the Trial of Thel 'Vadam. Once Brandon-G229 broke from imprisonment and stormed to courthouse however, Squalor became the first casualty of Operation: EQUALITY.

High Charity life
Much of Squalor's early life is unknown, as is his history with the First Human-Covenant war. What is known is that he was a member of the High Council of High Charity, and was present for mostly every trial. He was amongst many who thought the Prophet of Contempt was out of line in his words and wrong in his beliefs, though not as primary as others. He was in agreement with the Hierarchs of the time to fire Contempt from the High Council. He was also likely present for the Trials of the Minister of Physcology and Thel 'Vadam among many others. Once the Flood attacked High Charity, he was escorted to Doisac via a Spirit Dropship, unlike the others.

The Sovereign Covenant Empire
Unlike the Hierarchs, Squalor actually sided with the side of Doisac that wanted to wait for battle rather than jump right into it. This placed him within the Sovereign Covenant Empire. Much of his role there is unknown, as he does not speak much of it, but it is likely that he was a councilor Prophet than defected to the Jiralhanae Separtists once the strict rule of the Prophet of Decadence became too much, or that he merely defected after the Prophet of Optimism was betrayed. A third possibility is that he defected after the Jiralhanae Separtists gained Hierarchs, either way none of these possibilities are ever proven.

Operation:EQUALITY
Squalor's life within the Jiralhanae Separtists was brief, as he was placed on the Prophet of Equality's Assault Carrier around the time of Operation: EQUALITY. He was the Prophet who confronted Equality on the bridge, warning him of the sighting of Merciless Genocide in the distance of the carrier. When Equality ordered the Guards to move in on the Super Carrier while the Assault Carrier escapes, Squalor followed the orders of the Hierarch well and was unaware of the actual threats infiltrating the ship.

Once the group was caught, Squalor and Equality both went down to the hallway to see what the problem was. They both were pleased to see the Arbiter and Brandon-G229 captured, and Squalor nodded in agreement with Equality's decision of imprisoning them.

The Prophet's next role was as a Warden for the Prison Sector of the Assault Carrier, constantly showing dislike of the Hierarch through insults with a Brute Captain Ultra Kelikus. He also teased the two main prisoners and the Elites captured within them, often joking about how they have gone from riches to rags. He showed pleasure in imagining the Arbiter finally dead, even referencing the first Trial 'Vadam was involved in. He also went over to the Drone Queen, Arachicuris, and also mocked her while she was in captivity.

The last hour of the Prophet of Squalor was at the (Second) Trial of Thel 'Vadam on the Jiralhanae's own Purgatory-class Ultra Carrier. He was sitting in one of the many rows of the courthouse as the Prophet of Hospitality, the Prophetess of Reluctance, and the Prophet of Equality each made their words to the Arbiter. Squalor agreed with the public death sentence. However, before said sentence could be given the Spartan Brandon-G229 bursted into the room. As the other Prophets panicked and the Hierarchs were escorted out, Squalor stayed behind to lead the Brute guards to attack. The Arbiter himself grabbed Squalor by the neck and snapped it, killing the Councilor instantly and before any of the Brutes he commanded were killed.
