The Hierarchy of the Covenant: Roles of the Prophets, Elites, and Brutes

The Covenant is the alien empire that was heavily featured as one of the greatest threats to the galaxy within the гало franchise. For countless years, it traversed numerous planets in the hopes of obtaining Forerunner artifacts, destroying every place it scoured and their inhabitants in the process.

Чтобы лучше понять Завет in the hopes of defeating it, the humans tried to learn its religious hierarchy. With sufficient information, they discovered that regardless of their position, every member of the order posed a threat. However, among them all, three stood out: the Пророки, Элиты, и Скоты.

They are the ones whom the other members look up to as the Завет‘s pillars, and to understand why, we must take a closer look at their place in the empire’s religious hierarchy. To start, the Пророки are essentially its rulers, voicing commands that resulted in the numerous planets being devastated.

While the alien race is considered weak in combat, it utilized the knowledge of the Forerunners and their artifacts to create the promise of divinity through the Great Journey, thereby securing its position as religious leaders. Still, given their lack of physical power, one wouldn’t expect the Пророки to be able to subjugate every other race in aiding them with their goal, which is where the Элиты заходи.

It is the race that the Пророки established a religious pact with, promising an ascension to godhood via the Great Journey in exchange for protection. It proved to be a very wise move to make, as the Элиты are intelligent, crafty, and extremely strong. They are the honored and powerful protectors of the Пророки, essentially placing them second in the religious hierarchy, which is why they’re often seen leading units like Jackals and Grunts into battle.

Наконец, у нас есть Скоты, the race that can be seen as second in line behind the Элиты in terms of influence in the Завет. While it is known for being used as expendable heavy shock troops, often commanded to charge at their opposition with reckless abandon, the ferocity with which it does its job has not gone unrecognized.

The Скотыпо сравнению с Элиты, are more fervent in their belief in the Great Journey, never questioning anything that needs to be done so long as it assures the ascension to divinity that was promised. It is the reason why the Пророки granted them a modicum of power within the Завет, as their brutal strength added an extra layer of protection for the religious leaders, and being easily manipulated for the promise of godhood guaranteed that they would do their job.

With the three, the Завет was able to lay siege to many different planets with ease, and almost succeeded in the goal of the Great Journey by activating the гало rings. It is only thanks to humanity’s efforts and the alien empire’s civil war, the Great Schism, that it didn’t happen, and why the galaxy remains intact. But if not for those, there would have been no doubt that the Завет had the power to achieve its purpose and eliminate all life, as the Скоты, Элиты, и Пророки had the intelligence, power, and sheer ferocity needed to do so.
