A prologue is _pro_, before, the _logos,_ word. It's text before the main body of the text. Whether a work needs a prologue is entirely up to the author. There is no right or wrong way to write one. There is no right or wrong content. It can serve as an introduction, a teaser, a flashback, background material, a recap, or anything else the author thinks might be useful or interesting. Since there are no rules, there's nothing to violate. It's purely Your Mileage May Vary.
