Unknown Prophet (Ariel)

The Unknown Prophet on Ariel was most likley the commander of Covenant forces there. He orderd the to capture Ariel's 4,000 civilians to dig for the artifact that he called "The Silent Oracle" Commonly known as The Knowing. He most likley was told about the ODST squad that dropped onto the planet and when he was told about the destruction of the Knowing (He most likley was told, because he is probably not telepathic. However he could be) he orderd the Covenant to retreat back to their fleet of ships stationed in orbit. It is unknown what happens after that but he says: "We must tell the Holy Ones" of the destruction of the knowing. If he was on high charity in 2552-2553, He would (as most San-Shyuum were) infected by the flood outbreak there. If he wasn't he was 1 of the about 1,000 San-Shyuum who survived the flood outbreak. However the former is more likley as most san-shyuum did get infected.
