In Halo 2,even after the Arbiter gave Tartarus the incormation on the ring,he still tried to kill him. Do you think this is why the prophets used the brutes in Halo 2-3?
Or he believed in the Great Journey like the rest of the Covenant and wasn’t ready to completely change his beliefs because the lightbulb said so

Like it how you used Lightbulb haha
The Brutes wanted to overthrow the Sangheili and become the Prophet’s protectors, therefore demeaning the Elites by removing them from their position.
According to Halopedia, which sources a Waypoint article, Truth had been planning to replace the Elites with the Brutes before the events of the games, because he didn’t think the Elites were loyal enough and he didn’t trust them. Regret’s death was just an excuse to make it happen.
I’ve also read other things that said the Elites were never particularly religious; the glory of battle was what motivated them in the war, rather than faith, which was probably something the Prophets didn’t like.

Yes,you make a good point. The motivation of the Elites and Prophets were different. The Elites believed in honor in battle. Any worthy opponent (such as the Master Chief) would receive a respectful,yet mocking title (demon). The Prophets were the more religious and believed that the Forerunners were truly Gods. Though Truth knew one thing the rest of the Prophets did not,the activation of a Halo required a more…human touch. We know this by what Truth says to Johnson before Miranda Keyes bursts in flying a pelican on the mission The Covenant on Halo 3.

not all the covenant believe in the great journey the grunts were slaves to the covenant and then they had a covenant civil war which led to the grunts still being slaves but they fought well against the covenant so the covenant used them as soldiers and the hunters dont believe in the great journey but their plant would have been glassed if they didn’t join the covenant which an Arbiter recruited them by threatening them.
