Here's all you need to know about the prophets.
PROPHETS
Little to nothing is known about the Prophets due to the fact they are one of the most secretive races of all the Covenant castes. They are the first species that started the Covenant with the Elites and Engineers.
They are the religious and political leaders of the Covenant.
Prophets actually originated on a world that was once home to a Forerunner colony. This comes from several and is known and respected by all the higher Covenant castes. This is the reason that the Covenant revere all Forerunner artifacts, and it is for this reason that the Covenant have such advanced technology, because they have been using technological remnants of the Forerunners.
The role of the Prophets, for as long as can be recalled, is to archive, explore and locate Forerunner technology and artifacts. These intelligent, highly evolved beings are physically weak, hence their need for Elite allies. The pact allows the Prophets to advance their search through conquest and occasionally assimilation of species whose home worlds or solar systems contain Forerunner architecture or technology, often disregarded by the resident species. Prophet ceremony and purpose is not generally known to the Covenant population, most of which simply trust in their wisdom to further the goals and territory of the Covenant.
Contrary to popular belief the Prophets aren’t solely in charge of the Covenant Empire. Highly ranked Elites that have proven themselves can outrank all but the most esteemed Prophets. A technique used to balance power and show the mutual dependences of each race for its talents.
Prophets were one of the founding races of the Covenant.
Rather than have "names" in the traditional sense, most Prophets are instead simply referred to as "Holy One", "Eminence", or some other religiously significant title.
