Sangheili Ultra: Difference between revisions

Sangheili Ultras are extremely skilled veteran Sangheili warriors who have not pursued a career of leadership, instead focusing solely on combat; this is in contrast to the [[Sangheili Major|Majors]] or Obedientaries, who served as the [[Covenant]]'s primary field officer class. The rank of Ultra was considered a great honor both among the Sangheili and within the former Covenant, which stored records of their exploits in the record vaults of [[High Charity]]. Not many Sangheili remain as Ultras for long; typically, such Sangheili are expected to ascend to posts such as that of a [[seneschal]], enter a career in politics as a [[Sangheili Councilor|Councilor]], or return to their ministry to serve as instructors.{{Ref/Reuse|cf low}} Ultras are sometimes deployed on high-priority missions often alone.
