[[Heretic]] Elites are [[Covenant]] [[Sangheili]] that rebelled against the Covenant's [[High Council]] during the events prior to the discovery of [[Installation 05|The first Halo ring]].

== Summary ==

Heretic Elites are the [[Elite]]s of the artifact retrieval group led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]]. When [['Refumee]] discovered the truth about the [[Halo]]s, his [[Elite]]s followed him in the rebellion against the [[High Prophet]]s. They used the [[Gas Mine]] above [[Threshold]] as a base, and placed [[Banshee]]s and at least one [[Seraph]] starfighter as an "Air force" to defend the mine. They also set up a makeshift camp on [[Basis]], Threshold's moon.

This camp is a playable multiplayer map, called [[Burial Mounds]].

They do what they can to stand out to all other [[Covenant]], especially [[Elites]].

== Rank System ==

They have a limited Rank System, as there are:

*[[Heretic Elite Minor]]s

*[[Heretic Elite Major]]s

== Appearance ==


Heretic Elites do not wear helmets like their Covenant counterparts, but instead don breathing apparatus to assist in respiration on the Gas Mining facility. Heretic Elites also have four ridges on the back of their armor, which presumably contain breathable oxygen. The Heretic Leader Sesa 'Refumee does not share these ridges, but instead has a Jet pack on his back that presumably also contains a store of oxygen in it.

Heretic Elites can be found in both Brown and Gold armored variants, as well as the Heretic Leader's personal red-colored armor. Elites who wear gold armor are the equivalent of a [[Major Domo Elite|Elite Major]]s with more health and stronger shields, while those with brown armor seem similar to [[Minor Domo Elite|Elite Minor]]s.

They are only seen in two levels: [[The Arbiter]] and [[Oracle]].

== Combat ==
[[Image:HereticEliteCarbine03.jpg|right|thumb|186px|Heretic with [[Carbine]].]]
They mostly use [[Carbine]]s, [[Sentinel Beam]]s, and also [[Energy Sword]]s. [[Plasma Rifle]]s are only used by Heretic Banshee pilots and the Heretic leader. This is probably because the Heretics want to stand out from all other Covenant to show that they do not have anything in common with all Elites who have faith in the [[Great Journey]]. 

The energy shields of the gold Heretics are as strong as a Major Domo's while the energy shields of the brown ones are as strong as a Minor Domo's. Note that their shields glow purple instead of the blue that Covenant-Loyal Elites use.

==Trivia==
*A glitch causes the [[melee]] attacks of Heretic Elites to have little or no effect, unless they are wielding [[Energy Swords]]. However, their melee attacks have a small chance of hitting when standing to the left of the Elite.
*The Heretic Elite is one of the least used Bipeds, sharing their inactivity with the [[Heretic Grunts]], in the Halo trilogy, as it only appears on two levels.
*In the level [[The Oracle]] there is an [[Elite]] using a [[Needler]], which is odd because they use [[Carbine]]s and [[Energy Sword]]s mostly, this is the only Heretic [[Elite]] seen using a needler and note he only appears a few times, not always.
