Minister (title)

A Minister is the head of a Covenant ministry. Since San 'Shyuum are the only species entitled to hold civilian government positions, the rank is held exclusively by Prophets. Each of the separate Covenant Ministries is headed by its own Minister, with a Vice-Minister serving as a second-in-command. Examples of this are the Minister of Fortitude (later Prophet of Truth) and the Vice-Minister of Tranquility (a young Regret). There are also differences between the different minister's equipment. The Minister of Fortitude had a gravity throne with a cushion and probably more features untold, but his Vice-Minister of Tranquility had a throne but with a hard metal seat mounted on it. The Minister of Ethiology didn't even have a throne, he had a gravity belt which is odd because of his position. The power of these thrones was a reflection of rank. Lower ranking Prophets were forced to group together, combining the power of their chairs, while Ministers had thrones capable of individual transport.

Ministers work in towers as stated in Halo: Contact Harvest where Fortitude shows up for work in his tower to see two Elites from "the lights of Sanghellios" before his meeting with the Vice Minister.
