'''Jiralhanae Chosen Warriors''' are a class of [[Jiralhanae]] who serve the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=425}}

==Overview==
===Roles and responsibilities===
In contrast to those granted the title of [[Atriox's Chosen]], which is drawn from Jiralhanae across ranks,{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFood|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-food-for-thought|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Food for Thought|D=07|M=10|Y=2022|Quote=The current members who hold the title of “Atriox’s Chosen” seem to be primarily from the Jiralhanae ranks, but it is currently unknown whether that is a widely exclusive appointment.}} Chosen Warriors are selected from [[Jiralhanae Warrior]]s that have proved themselves in battle. Chosen warrior is a formal title, and they have extended authority and jurisdiction, operating with a greater level of autonomy than their previous stations.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}

Typically, chosen warriors command lower warrior squads, leading their alloyed cohorts into battle. Despite their elevated status, chosen warriors lead the same contentious, embattled lives as lower-ranking warriors and fiercely compete with each other for the favor of their leaders.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} 

===History===
Multiple chosen warriors participated in the [[Battle for Zeta Halo|battle for]] [[Zeta Halo]]. One notably commanded the [[flame-bore]]'s crew at [[Site Novem]].{{Ref/Quest|Id=Excavation Site|HI|Connections|Excavation Site}}

==Equipment==
Jiralhanae chosen warriors typically wear augmented gold [[Jiralhanae power armor|power armor]] that bear markings which befit their new status.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} The armor is also equipped with [[energy shielding]].{{Ref/Game|Id=gameplay|HI|gameplay}} They also get first choice of weapons from the armories, and as such, many utilize non-standard weapons, including those of [[Forerunner]] and [[UNSC]] design.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}

==In-game information==
Chosen warriors wear golden power armor enhanced with personal energy shields. They typically use [[Sentinel beam]]s, although some wield the [[M41 SPNKR|M41 rocket launcher]] and carry [[Mangler]]s as sidearms. Like standard warriors, chosen warriors carry [[Jovokada Workshop spike grenade]]s.

Chosen warriors are more durable than all variants of standard [[Jiralhanae Warrior]]s. If struck by an upgraded [[grappleshot]], chosen warriors will not be electrocuted. They will instead assume a defensive posture and freeze themselves in place for several seconds (essentially the same effect). Chosen warriors that use the rocket launcher are particularly dangerous, as they can kill the player with one or two direct hits. As with other Jiralhanae enemies in the game, chosen warriors' helmets can be shot off, rendering them vulnerable to a precision headshot. Typically, a single direct hit from a rocket launcher will kill a chosen warrior at full health and shields on any difficulty.

==Production notes==
In ''[[Halo Infinite]]''{{'}}s [[Forge]], shielded variants of Jiralhanae are distinguished from their unshielded counterparts by being labelled as "Chosen". Subsequently, the unshielded variant of the Jiralhanae Chosen Warrior—which never appears in campaign—is erroneously called "Brute Warrior" to match its shielded variant being called "Brute Warrior, Chosen". Instead, the blue and purple variants of the actual [[Jiralhanae Warrior]]s are called "Brute Minor" and "Brute Commando", respectively. The Forge menu also mislabelled [[Jiralhanae Warlord|Jiralhanae Warlord Chieftains]] as "[[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]], Chosen".
