I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

The Prophets or San 'Shuyuum are the leadership caste of the Covenent. I believe the prophets Truth, Mercy and Regret where the highest ranking.

“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.”

You are correct but in the trilogy of Halo all three die in the order that follows; The prophet of Mercy, The prophet of Regret, and Finnaly the Prophet of Truth.

Thanks. MasterChief kills Mercy, Truth kills regret and the Arbiter finishes off Truth? And after that, in theory, new prophets will take over the Covenant right?

No, the Flood killed Mercy (Master Chief just removed the Infection Form that was harming Mercy, hastening his death), Master Chief killed Regret, and Arbiter killed Truth.

Probably not. The Prophet population is devastated. The Covenant are scattered. Majority of the Grunts and Hunters became Separatists (compare the number of Hunters in Halo CE to Halo 3). The Brutes were being decimated and suppressed by the Elites and relapsed into civil wars, which now ravage their home planet.

So I think it's time for a new enemy. A new threat and hopefully, in a future Halo game, we will see some of the Covenant species as allies instead of enemies.
