I have a new Halo 3 theory. It came to me while playing the level "Regret." Maybe the three main prophets live up to their names...

Regret: During the water ride in the level Regret, Cortana talks about how Regret "jumped a gun" by attacking Earth, and apologized to the other two prophets. He "regrets" attacking Earth.

Mercy: In the next water ride, Cortana (quoting Truth's message to Regret) says that Regret will "be spared a public view of our contempt thanks to Mercy and his wise counsel." Mercy showed mercy to Regret.

Truth: Of his name's meaning I am not sure of... maybe he knows the truth about Halo, and for some reason still wants to activate it.

Your thoughts?

It seems to be as good of a theory as any other

omg you cracked the code.. +1 for you


ok, nice theory.. hope the story its better than 2.. n better be on earth damn it

truth is the truth behind the covenant. not sure if he is, but if he is the leader the knows some secres not even the other prophets know (like the truth behind halo ect.)
