Today, we're diving into the lore behind a Secret group of Bio-Augmented Warrior Prophets within the Covenant - the Prelates, one of which was technically present in the background of Halo 2. We're looking at their history, their augmentations, their role within the Covenant, and the life of the only named Prelate in Halo's universe - Tem 'Bhetek - of whom was plagued by nightmares of the Flood consuming his family as they rapidly took over High Charity...

@jakespacepiratee37404 years ago These guys are the true covenant spartans. Someone once made a video called " the covenant versions of spartans! lethal! " and they id="hidden8" were just talking about elite fleet admirals, which are just incredibly highly decorated military commanders, not supersoldiers. These prelates on the other hand, they have been highly trained, highly modified, and can be properly classified as the true covenant spartans!. ...Expand 153

@arrowtt33644 years ago My theory on why the prelates weren' t in game is that they were fighting elsewhere on high charity. That said it' d be awesome to have seen some prelates defending truth in halo 3. 19

@chrismidis90244 years ago I always imagined the prophets were like the people on the axiom from wall-e who cant walk at all.

@

@luispeniche994 years ago There are so many amazing things in all your videos and clearly show in this one! Where could i start?
1) lore. I have watched many halo youtubers 2) video. I love the way you edit the videos so that it actually seems like we are having real footage from the story you are telling. The way you can mix the few scenes available and complement with gameplay or artwork. Wow. Such a great talent.
3) the language. I am a fan of language in general. It is absolutely enjoyable to listen to your writing, the way you tell the story, the intonation you use and the words, that nice vocabulary that makes the difference between an ok story and an inmersive tale.
4) probably the last one could be the lenght. I am not a big fan of long videos, but with yours time passes by incredibly quickly.
thanks for this great video!. ...Expand 5

@Jordan-in1wc4 years ago Even if the brutes recieved full naval training, it would be still near impossible to beat elite shipmasters due to 2 reasons.
1) the elites have 2)elites are much more calable of thinking outside the box i. E shipmaster rtas vadum and the arbiter during his supreme commander days. So it would be very difficult to destroy an elite fleet even if the brutes had a number advantage. ...Expand 5

@kirkh42054 years ago I love your lore vids brother. I am not much for sitting down with a book and digging in for a long read, especially with e-books. As if i' m not id="hidden29" staring at a device screen enough hours per day as it is. You' ve really helped expand my knowledge of the canonical story which had led to my developing greater interest in the stories outside of the games. It definitely adds another layer of depth to have a lot more of the backstory filled in. Perhaps i should try the audiobook format, i hear it works out nicely to listen to lore books while grinding away gaining at halo 2 laso. I found some xbone app which claims that it loads/plays a list of audio files from the root of a usb drive. I' ve only launched the app once and it told me that nothing can be done or configured unless there exists a usb disk drive. Maybe some app like this would play the audiobooks in thejust get a bluetooth speaker and play it from aya wanna be lazy like that. ...Expand
