'''Artisan-armorers''', also sometimes known as '''artisan-engineers''', | '''Artisan-armorers''', also sometimes known as '''artisan-engineers''', were [[Covenant]] technicians, designers, and forgemasters who operated the empire's [[assembly forges]] and maintained [[design pattern]]s.<ref>''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', ''page 90''</ref> | ||

Artisan-armorers were responsible for implementing design patterns to produce matériel for the Covenant for years. Occasionally, influential clients and heroes of the Covenant—who were considered to be above [[Covenant#Government and politics|Ministry]] sanction—were able to commission [[Sangheili]] artisan-armorers to produce custom variants of the [[Type-25 plasma rifle]] to suit their needs.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/plasma-rifle '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Plasma Rifle'']</ref> The [[Type-25 Brute plasma rifle]] variant was originally manufactured at the [[Sacred Promissory]] assembly forges in preparation for the High [[Prophet of Truth]]'s takeover of the Covenant. Under its crimson plating, the artisan-engineers in Truth's employ were allowed to make modifications to the rifle's sacred design pattern specifically tailored to the aggressive nature of the [[Jiralhanae]].<ref name="universe"/> | |||

In the wake of the Covenant's demise in late [[2552]], Sangheili artisan-armorers garnered renewed interests in discovering the properties of [[blamite]]. Many pre-Covenant design patterns incorporating blamite were uncovered to assist in their research.<ref name="Nuniverse">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/needler '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Needler'']</ref> Sangheili artisans on remote [[Sangheili colonies|colonies]] modernized the [[Invader harness]] to use it to hunting down [[Jiralhanae]] raiding packs.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-marching-on '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Marching On'']</ref> The creation of the [[Type-57 carbine]] variant known as the [[Blood of Suban]] is a testament to the newfound avarice that accompanied the genius and talent of artisan-armorers on [[Suban]] following the war.<ref>''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', ''[[List of REQ cards|Blood of Suban]]'' REQ card.</ref> The creator of the [[Type-55 storm rifle]] known as [[Fury]] was a [[Sangheili]] artisan of sublime genius and skill, though he eventually shunned his family's traditional ties with [[Lodam Armory]] to perfect the art of the kill and the craftsmanship of orbital assaults. In time, the artisan's behavior became impossible to restrain or control, and his eyes became clouded in madness. His name, his titles, and the story of his death was stricken from [[Covenant]] records, and only his personal sidearm returned to his home in [[Kaepra]], on [[Sanghelios]], wrapped in linen and sealed with sigils known only to the highest ranking [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]].<ref name="FR">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-fury-s-road '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: Fury's Road'']</ref> | |||
The alliance between the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and the [[Unified Earth Government]] has resulted in collaborations between Sangheili artisan-armorers and [[human]]s. Notably, the [[HELIOSKRILL-class Mjolnir|HELIOSKRILL variant]] of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]|GEN2 Mjolnir]] was designed by a [[Sangheili]] artisan-armorer from the [[Kolaar Manufactorum]] who had managed to reverse-engineer the Mjolnir armor in an effort to test her skills against humanity's best armor manufacturers.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', ''Helioskrill armor description''</ref> By [[2558]], this burgeoning relationship had allowed [[ONI]]'s [[Xeno-Materials Exploitation Group]] deeper insight into [[Covenant]] dummy plugs and for the partial replication of cryptic [[Forerunner]] sub-mechanisms and interface signals. As a result, the [[morph sight]] was adapted for a number of [[United Nations Space Command]] weapons.<ref name="cf">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/bounty-hunters '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: Bounty Hunters]</ref> | |||
