A vast majority of Bungie.net users seem to have the idea that Brutes are the guardians of the Prophets and that is why they are so important.
The only thing that I can say is where did you get this information?
It isn't in First Strike, as in there Cortana states that they are temple guards, ie they guard temples, not the Prophets.
In the last chapter it specifically states that the high prophet is being guarded by Imperial Elites, ie the best Elites of the army. Brutes aren't guarding the Prophet, Elites are.
In the Flood, not a single Brute is guarding the minor Prophet he is on the bridge, with Elites or with the council, who are Elites.
Therefore it isn't a question of Prophet rank as all seen Prophets have been guarded or in the company of Elites, not Brutes.
The very fact that in First Strike a Brute was allowed into the royal chamber to speak to a Prophet direct caused a shocked effect on the Elites meaning it isn't a common occurance.
Therefore I would have to say many people are mistaken, very powerful Elites are the guardians of the Prophets, not Brutes.
Brutes guard the holy temples and things like that.
I may be wrong and perhaps in Halo 2 Brutes are the Prophets guardians but all evidence I've seen thus far makes me think otherwise.
Before you make a post I suggest you read the last part of First Strike to see what I mean. Also if you have any information about the Brutes guarding the Elites that is 100% proof, feel free to post it as i have no problem about being proved wrong as long as it is backed up.
Sorry, but try summerizing, I don't want to read 5 pages a post, this is no school time for me, Thaks your your time, It's only my opinion.
