Has anyone here ever wondered the meaning of Truth's name? Regret is constantly making stupid decisions, Mercy is weak, but Truth...? Maybe it refers to his place in the Covenant heirarchy, where his word is law. Personally, i dont buy it. I think it has to do with what Truth knows...the true function of Halo. Seriously, how could someone so learned in Forerunner technology and mythology not know that it is meant for galactic destruction? And if he does know that, why does he still want to activate the rings? Is he arrogant, not being able to admit he's wrong? Tartarus was, but i think Truth isnt as blind as Tartarus. I think Truth knows more than he lets on. I think Truth knows what the rings were built for, and i think he knows its NOT for the killing of all sentient life. I think Truth has something very powerful to gain from the activation of the rings, and i dont think he wants anyone else involved, which is why he abandoned Mercy and provoked the civil war between the Brutes and Elites. I think the civil war was a diversion.
Do i know exactly what Truth knows? Not at all. But i have a feeling that its something powerful and not yet revealed. Personally, im excited as hell at this idea. It makes it seem like H2's campaign wasnt as worthless after all, and it makes the whole storyline feel like it has a lot more depth.
Tell me what you think.
