  • This debuff is given if you incorrectly answer the question for the quest Test of Lore.
  • The Mark of Shame is a brand (a tattoo-like mark that is made by burning the flesh) given to those who have either disgraced or turned away from the Covenant. It can be seen being branded on to Thel 'Vadam in a cutscene in Halo 2 and Halo 2: Anniversary before the level Cairo Station and is seen on his chest in the cutscene before the level The Arbiter. It can be used as a Multiplayer emblem. The Mark of Shame is permanently imprinted onto the bare chest of the being using a special branding iron. After being branded with it, the being is executed soon thereafter out of sheer humility, perhaps harnessing the last bit of honored dignity they can draw up.
  • Bob's been discredited and disgraced, perhaps so badly that he can never go home again. In order to permanently label him as a failure, he's given an easily noticed marking of some sort, often on the face, chest, back or hands. Popular methods include tattooing, branding, and scarring, although for a less painful method of application, Bob may just be forced to wear something on his clothing to identify him as an Arsonist, Murderer, Jaywalker or what have you. It's also entirely possible that a coincidental, accidental marking he had prior to or received during the disgrace he suffered will serve as a Mark of Shame.

  • Bob's been discredited and disgraced, perhaps so badly that he can never go home again. In order to permanently label him as a failure, he's given an easily noticed marking of some sort, often on the face, chest, back or hands. Popular methods include tattooing, branding, and scarring, although for a less painful method of application, Bob may just be forced to wear something on his clothing to identify him as an Arsonist, Murderer, Jaywalker or what have you. It's also entirely possible that a coincidental, accidental marking he had prior to or received during the disgrace he suffered will serve as a Mark of Shame. If Bob receives the mark after making a Deal with the Devil, but it's still treated as a shameful, disgraceful thing, this can overlap with Mark of the Beast. Examples of Mark of Shame include:
  • The Mark of Shame is a brand (a tattoo-like mark that is made by burning the flesh) given to those who have either disgraced or turned away from the Covenant. It can be seen being branded on to Thel 'Vadam in a cutscene in Halo 2 and Halo 2: Anniversary before the level Cairo Station and is seen on his chest in the cutscene before the level The Arbiter. It can be used as a Multiplayer emblem. The Mark of Shame is permanently imprinted onto the bare chest of the being using a special branding iron. After being branded with it, the being is executed soon thereafter out of sheer humility, perhaps harnessing the last bit of honored dignity they can draw up. The only known exception to the execution tradition was Thel 'Vadam, the Supreme Commander in charge of the protection of Installation 04. He became the Arbiter and was sent to eliminate Heresy promoted by Sesa 'Refumee on Threshold. It also seems that the Arbiter's name means nothing, and is not mentioned due to the disgrace signified by the mark. Ironically, the Mark of Shame was supposed to bring him shame, but during the Great Schism, it actually became a symbol of his honor. Thel 'Vadam is the only known Covenant member known to be branded with the Mark of Shame. If closely observed, the Mark of Shame can be seen on the combat harnesses worn by Elites in Halo 3's Campaign. They may wear it out of deference and respect for their current Arbiter, as a symbol of honor in reversal of its meaning, or because they have turned away from the Covenant.
