Biography
Lepidus was one of the first members of the Covenant to discover about the Key of Osanalan after torturing Colonel James Ackerson. He later informed of his discovery to the Prophet of Truth, leading to the Battle of Cleveland, which Lepidus and the Minister of Inquisition commanded. He later reported the battle to the Prophet of Truth, who was aboard the Dreadnought and evading an assassination attempt by SPARTAN-II John-117. Truth was later able to escape from the SPARTAN, but all of his soldiers were killed. Lepidus then approached Ackerson, who revealed the Key of Osanalan was a hoax to gain time from the Covenant. He then decapitated Ackerson with his bare hands in vengeance.
