To achieve their mutual goals in the field, Evocati would elect an official "Ultra Officer" from their ranks - termed '''Evocati Delegatus''' - to deal with the warhost commander directly. Despite this duty, the Delegatus were not Obedientiaries and did not hold an official command authority in the Covenant military hierarchy - instead serving in a role analogous to [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[Warrant Officer]]s as subject matter and technical experts in a specific field.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLog}} | To achieve their mutual goals in the field, Evocati would elect an official "Ultra Officer" from their ranks - termed '''Evocati Delegatus''' - to deal with the warhost commander directly.

Most of the shock trooper infantry that wore them would have been in blue (minors), but a commanding officer who chose to don the same harness would likely have been adorned with a gold version (notice the purple glyphs on the gold Storm harness in the KI version).

The Ultra role was largely preserved among [[Banished]] Sangheili forces, with dozens of Evocati divisions having been recruited into the collective by ex-Seneschal [[Chak 'Lok]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=455}} Banished ultras largely echo the Evocati in the Covenant of old, employing harness designs with increased resilience and incorporated [[active camouflage]]. Banished ultras have been compared to the ''[[arpaktiko]]'' warriors of ancient Sangheili history, and are trained to hunt down and kill their targets without hesitation or remorse. As with the Covenant, Banished ultras are rarely attached to their units for long, and are instead employed by their [[Jiralhanae Warlord|commanding]] [[Sangheili Warlord|Warlord]]s in a manner akin to living weapons. These warriors rarely hold aspirations beyond dying for the glory of their [[keep]] due to their mastery in their favoured fields, and as such are renowned for forging stories for the saga walls in their respective keeps.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=429}} They are armed with either [[Sicatt Workshop shock rifle|Shock Rifle]]s or [[Heatwave|Heatwave]]s and always armed with an [[Energy sword (fiction)|Energy sword]] as a backup weapon. | The Ultra role was largely preserved among [[Banished]] Sangheili forces, with dozens of Evocati divisions having been recruited into the collective by ex-Seneschal [[Chak 'Lok]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=455}} Banished ultras largely echo the Evocati in the Covenant of old, employing harness designs with increased resilience and incorporated [[active camouflage]].
