Biography
The Prophet of Clarity resided in the a tower, located at High Charity's lower districts. By November 2552, he was finishing writing for the Record of Punished Deeds, a historical document that narrated the history of the Covenant and its founding species: the san'shyuum and the sangheili. He also included the role and history of the Arbiter title, and its role on both sangheili and Covenant society, as well as the inclusion of other species in the empire and the conflicts along the way, such as the War of Beginnings, the Taming of the Lekgolo, and the Unggoy Rebellion.

After the Changing of the Guard and the outbreak of the Great Schism, the Prophet of Clarity finished writing his scripture, and traveled to the Mausoleum of the Arbiter, while the war between the sangheili and the jiralhanae waged on across High Charity. While he refused to disagree with the decision taken by the Hierarchs, Clarity stated his discomfort with the appointment of Fleetmaster Thel 'Vadamee as the new Arbiter, stating he should have been execured for his failure during the Battle of Installation 04. Doubting 'Vadamee would remain loyal, he feared the days of the Covenant were numbered.
