High Prophet of Disdain

The High Prophet of Disdain was one of the three Covenant Hierarchs during the latter years of the 22nd Age of Doubt, the 39th Age of Conflict, and the opening years of the 23rd Age of Doubt.

22nd Age of Doubt
The High Prophet of Disdain would ascend to his role in the 2430s, in the midst of the 22nd Age of Doubt. Disdain was joined by the High Prophet of Pity and the High Prophet of Clemency. Disdain would be the youngest and most inexperienced of that triumvirate. Disdain would spend much of the next 20 years attempting to catch up to his peers' political and managerial skills.

39th Age of Conflict
The three would bring the Covenant into the 39th Age of Conflict with the ignition of the 14th Unggoy Rebellion. Disdain would often choose and vie for various peaceful resolutions to the conflict where possible. Pity and Clemency however, would manoeuvre against Disdain and push for more brutal responses to the insurrection.

23rd Age of Doubt
Despite the building tension between Disdain and the other two, the triumvirate would oversee the immediate aftermath of the rebellion and usher in the 23rd Age of Doubt.

In the mid-2470s, tensions began to flare up with the Jiralhanae. Disdain would attempt to find peaceful solutions to the issues, but would be blocked again. Disdain resigned in protest of the other two. Despite the tensions still continuing and some minor skirmishes here and there between Covenant and Jiralhanae forces, Pity and Clemency would announce their retirements soon after Disdain's departure. They would claim it was due to age and health reasons. The High Prophet of Restraint, the High Prophetess of Obligation, and the High Prophet of Tolerance would carry the seats following them all.

Disdain, feeling slighted, would move to the Jiralhanae Expansion Region in hopes of doing peace work he did not think was possible while being a Hierarch. This move in particular, and the collapse of the triumvirate in general would lead to the Sacking of Ettretritan.

9th Age of Reclamation
Disdain was still doing his work in the Expansion Region when the Human-Covenant War broke out. Tales of the horrors of the conflict would reach his ears. Having learned from his former High Prophet colleagues, he would use his remaining connections to join the skeleton crew in staffing what would become the Strewn Shore. While there, he would commit minor acts of intelligence sabotage, preventing the potential discovery of more human colonies.

Reconciliation Era
When the war concluded, survivors from High Charity would arrive in the Strewn Shore. From them, he would learn of its fate, and further details about the unravelling of the Covenant. The skeleton staff and the survivors would establish Journey's End together.

Despite the Concord's mistrust of Disdain, the other San'Shyuum leadership, and the Strewn Shore as a whole, he viewed them as the Covenant he wanted to make.

He would be one of many voices to push for the creation of a new mobile capital in the area. This was in hope of one day going to Concord space and finally bringing peace and stability to the Holy Ecumene as a whole.
