If anyone pulls out a weapon in the presence of a Hierarch, the Honor Guard's immediate response is to defend the Prophets; meaning eliminating the threat. | If anyone pulls out a weapon in the presence of a Hierarch, the Honor Guard's immediate response is to defend the Prophets; meaning eliminating the threat.but why they can,t protect them selves | ||

I disagree. The Halo 2 Honour Guards didn't just protect the Prophets - the also served as escorts for high ranked Councillors as well, and served in combat to a limited extent. If any did survive the purge of High Charity, I would imagine they would find work as body guards for the surviving Sangheili councillors, Kaidons and for the Arbiter. -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=indigo>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>]] - ''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]'' <sup>''[[ | I disagree.

While it seems that almost everyone belives that the blue Elites that assault Red Team on the Apex are Honor Guards, I'd like to point a few things out. | |||
1) They are seen ''decloaking''; of course, Honor Guards can use Active Camo. | |||
2) They wear light blue armor, as do Combat Evolved-era Stealth Elites. Minor armor is a deeper shade of blue. | |||
3) They don't have shields, just like CE-era Stealth Elites. | |||
4) Who says you have to be an Honor Guard to wield one of those staves? They aren't the ceremonial kind used on High Charity. | |||
There's more: As seen in Halo Wars: Genesis, Ripa 'Moramee's personal troops all wear crimson armor, obstensibly making them Majors. The soldiers of the enemy clan are bedecked in gold armor; apparently, these are the clans' colors, rather than Major/Zealot colors. Why, then, would the red-clad Honor Guards seem to be assigned to ''him'', rather than Regret, as they return to the Apex after escorting the Hierarch to his ship? What's more, why don't they put Ripa down when he draws a weapon next to Regret, which is supposed to warrant immediate termination? Maybe it's because they knew he was not a threat to the Prophet; however, they might have been some of 'Moramee's own troops. | |||
As for the more normal Elites seen in the cutscenes: the ones seen in the Relic are Spec-ops Elites, not Stealth Elites, while the the blue ones in the intro are minors, and the one who stabs the marine is either a Stealth or Spec-ops. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|"A government strong enough to give you everything you want...is strong enough to take everything you have." -Thomas Jefferson]] 21:56, 10 August 2009 (UTC) | |||
