Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.
So you then take a sledgehammer..

Mercy was stupid. How could those things win a war against Elites to become their leaders, but can't even hold off a little flood parasite.
First, the Prophets were defeating the Elites because of the Forerunner Keyship, which allowed them to dominate in space. However, 10 Prophets=1 Elite on the ground.
Second, noone was defeated, they eventually realized that their fighting was getting them nowhere, so they stopped. The reason the Prophets were in power was because they had the most knowledge of the Forerunners, which is what their religion was centred around.
Along the way, they added more species to the Covenant so long as they believed in the Forerunners as Gods.
Prophets=Leaders
Elites=Warriors
