==Summary==
'''Councilor''' is the highest [[Covenant]] [[Sangheili]] (Elite) rank. They are only lower to the [[Arbiter]].
 
==Rank==
[[Image:He went thata way!.jpg|left|thumb|Elite Councilor on the campaign level ''[[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]]''.]]
It is the highest rank attainable for an [[Elite]] of the [[Covenant]], military or politically, although in religious significance, the [[Arbiter]] is far superior. They are members of the [[High Council]], along with the [[Prophets|Lesser Prophets]]. They share power directly under the [[High Prophets]].
 
Councilors have been described as "aristocratic" by lesser races. Only one Councilor's name has ever been stated, that of [[Soha 'Rolamee]]. The structure of his name indicates that he has participated in the military. In fact, it is likely that every Councilor Elite is required to participate in the Covenant military.
 
==Combat==
The Councilors are masters of warfare, as befitting with their extraordinarily high rank. They normally bear a single terrible [[Energy Sword]], which they used with great effect on the campaign level ''[[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]]'' to destroy [[Brute]]s. They also infrequently are armed with single-wielded or dual-wielded [[Plasma Rifle]]s.
 
However, they are in fact adepts with any weapon, [[United Nations Space Command]] or Covenant. They also grudgingly accept [[Brute]] weapons, although they deprecate their firearms then in disdain, probably defiling "Heretic" technology.
 
Councilors are also the only rank of Elite that do not waver upon being hit by a melee attack. They stand their ground and do not become shaken as all other ranks do.
 
They also have the uncommon nature to abuse the fallen corpses of their enemies, for example, by shooting the bodies with [[Plasma Rifle]]s.
 
The shields they are equipped with are amazingly strong compared to other ranks, able to withstand tremendous damage.
 
==Appearance==
===Physical===
[[Image:Councilor_from_behind.JPG|left|thumb|156px|A councilor shown from behind.]]
The Councilors wear large, distinct and oddly shaped crowns as ceremonial helmets. These helmets are silver mostly and also have streaks of dark gray and olive. Their crowns are reminiscent of the queen alien's head from the ALIEN series (ALIENS being the sequel). For armour they wear white plates like also highly-ranked [[Ultra Elite|Ultra]]s.
 
===''[[Halo 2]]''===
[[Image:Elite Councillors.jpg|right|thumb|Two Elite Councilors converse at the [[Council Chamber]] about the fate of the [[Arbiter]].]]
The Councilors are exclusive to ''Halo 2'', and are never seen in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. Their infrequence in numbers leads to their appearance being only four times throughout the entire campaign.
 
During the [[Civil War of the Covenant]], many of these Elites were taken to the surface of [[Installation 05]] (Delta Halo), where they were massacred by the traitorous [[Brutes]]. Several were imprisoned, however, and they were set free by the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] and assisted him in killing [[Tartarus]].
 
*[[Step of Silence]], [[High Charity]] - Many can be seen at the judgement of the [[Guardian of the Luminous Key]] before he attains rank of [[Arbiter]]
*''[[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]]'' - The [[Arbiter]], while invading the Control Room, passed through the bastion of the Brutes, coming across a forcefield prison. He unlocked the cages, bringing forth two Councilors and two [[Hunter]]s. One Councilor was armed with an Energy Sword, another with a single Plasma Rifle. In the climatic battle that defeated [[Tartarus]], numerous Councilors fought with their swords against the [[Brute Chieftain]], only to fall in vain to the [[Fist of Rukt]].
