The Great Schism

The Covenant was founded by the Prophets of Regret, Truth, and Mercy, who believed that the Forerunners, an ancient alien race, were the creators of humanity and that humanity had betrayed them. The Prophets preached that humanity must atone for its sins by destroying the Flood, a parasitic alien species that threatened to consume all life in the galaxy.

However, not all members of the Covenant agreed with the Prophets' teachings. A group of Sangheili, known as the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam, believed that the Prophets were corrupt and that the Covenant was being used for their own selfish purposes. Thel and his followers eventually rebelled against the Prophets, leading to the Great Schism.

The Human-Covenant War

The Great Schism divided the Covenant into two factions: the Covenant Loyalists, who remained loyal to the Prophets, and the Covenant Separatists, who followed Thel. The Separatists allied themselves with humanity to fight against the Loyalists.

The Human-Covenant War was a bloody and protracted conflict that lasted for nearly 30 years. The Covenant Loyalists, with their superior technology and fanaticism, inflicted heavy casualties on humanity. However, the Separatists and the UNSC (United Nations Space Command) eventually managed to defeat the Loyalists and destroy the Covenant.
