Biography
On March 21st, 2539, the Prophet of Inner Conviction was attached to the Fleet of Righteous Vigilance and sent to Kholo in order to observe its ritualistic glassing. At the flagship of the fleet, he ordered its Shipmaster to burn a Covenant glyph meaning "faith" at the planet's surface as a symbol of their might. After the Shipmaster's victory, he and Conviction bonded, and their combined efforts would see continuous Covenant victory and the carrying of the High Councilor's wills.

With the onset of the Great Schism, the Atoner received the news about the Changing of the Guard that elevated the jiralhanae and the betrayal and slaughter of the sangheili High Councilors. Armed with his Type-1 energy sword, the Atoner rushed to the san'shyuum, who was awaiting him with a Type-25 plasma pistol. When the Shipmaster opened the door, he attempted shooting him, but he was easily subdued. The Atoner dragged him to his ship's bridge and exposed him as a liar to his warriors with the intent of publicly executing him, as he showed the Eye recordings of the jiralhanae's betrayal. As the Prophet of Conviction awoke, he was terrified at being surrounded by the dozens of angered sangheili soldiers, only for the Atoner to break his neck, killing him.

After his death, Conviction's personal Honor Guards killed themselves out of shame of protecting him.
