Okay, the book says that Brutes are ceremonial guards, that doesn’t mean they are Prophets bodyguards. At the end of the book, Tartarus enters the temple of the Prophet of Truth, and there are like 100 Elites in there standing guard, so it seems that there are certain Elites that are the Prophets guards.

somebody with the book with them look up the bodyguard thing. its in the epilogue or whaterver its called.


You might be right: "A ripple of shock passed through the imperial elite protectors. They had never seen such a creature allowed so close to the holy ones."

That means elites are the bodyguards but not all of them.

I think there is some confusion because at the end of the first book the Prophet tells Tartarus to have the Pilot Elites who survived the Unyielding Hierophant rewarded and then killed. It would seem that the Prophets are going behind the Elites back and are planning a coup of the Covenant empire using the Brutes power. This may be why people think the Brutes are the Covenant bodyguards, maybe they will be in Halo 2 but before it has always been the Elites

the covenant started wit the prophet elite treaty. so certain elites protect prophets. Prophets are the brains of the operation because elites only know how to fight and think battle. Elites rely on the prophets technoligy(technically forerunner but gathered by prophets).
