Hmmm, i think he ultimately is the bad guy, but hes still with the covenant, hes just power hungry. He knew the arbiter was very skilled, which is why he saved him from execution, so he could get the oracle and the key etc.
And if you watch the special edition dvd youll kmnow that the elites and prohpets used to fight, so id sayt truth still hates elites, so he withdrew the phantoms to make sure of two things:
a:regret would die, leaving him with just 1 other hierach to get rid of, and b: make it seem like the elites couldnt do there job anymore, giving more power to the brutes.
Then the reason he let mercy die, is probably because he wants to be the sole leader of the covenant, or he just couldnt be bothered the time it would take to help him, as he does sayt the great journey waits for no one....
Sounds about right, you forgot to say that he had the Council assassinated by the Brutes.
