Field Marshals outrank [[Sangheili General|Generals]], who are in command of specific groups of infantry; in some cases, a General may report directly to his Field Marshal.<ref name="EVG"/> Field Marshals command ultimate authority on the battlefield, reporting directly to their [[Covenant fleet|fleet]]'s [[Supreme Commander]].<ref name="enc"/> Despite their important command position, they are frequently present on the front lines in areas of importance and directing operations from there, rather than from fortified positions or spacecraft. | ||
Some Field Marshals lead small strike teams composed of lower-ranking Zealots for operations that require both skill and precision. These operations are generally intended to search for and retrieve artifacts of value to their [[Covenant religion|religion]], or to eliminate targets to turn the tide of battles.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Winter Contingency]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 60''</ref> | Some Field Marshals lead small strike teams composed of lower-ranking Zealots for operations that require both skill and precision.

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*In ''Halo: Reach'' | *In ''Halo: Reach'''s Armory, the name of this rank is misspelled "Field Marshall". "Marshall" is a proper noun, typically used as a surname or as a masculine given name.<ref>[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/field+marshal '''Dictionary.com''': ''field marshal'']</ref><ref>[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Marshall '''Dictionary.com''': ''Marshall'']</ref> | ||
*While only one Field Marshal is fought in-game during ''Halo: Reach'' | *While only one Field Marshal is fought in-game during ''Halo: Reach'''s campaign, several sightings occur. The first Field Marshal is seen during a cutscene in ''[[Winter Contingency]]'', though he escapes. Another Field Marshal is seen in the level ''[[New Alexandria]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s final cutscene, killing [[Kat-B320]] from a Phantom. The only in-game Field Marshal encounter is at the end of the level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]'', trying to prevent [[SPARTAN-B312]] from manning the [[Mark 2488 Onager|mass driver]]. The last Field Marshal is partly offscreen during ''[[Lone Wolf]]'', igniting his energy sword.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNLsMXNLdsc '''YouTube:''' ''Halo Reach - Noble Sixes Real Face'']</ref> It is likely that most of these are the same individual. | ||
*The Field Marshal is one of two enemies in ''Reach'' capable of switching weapons | *The Field Marshal is one of two enemies in ''Reach'' capable of switching weapons. When fought from a distance he will use a fuel rod cannon; when fought at close quarters he will use an energy sword. The other is the Zealot fought in ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''. | ||
*In ''Halo: Reach'', the Field Marshal and Zealots are the only Sangheili classes that cannot be fought in [[Firefight]]. | *In ''Halo: Reach'', the Field Marshal and Zealots are the only Sangheili classes that cannot be fought in [[Firefight]]. | ||
*The armor of a Sangheili Field Marshal is available as an [[Armor Permutations (Halo: Reach)|armor permutation]] for players who have reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in ''Halo: Reach''. It is the last Elite armor permutation a player can receive. | |||
*A humorous tweet by [[Jeff Easterling]] joked that the Field Marshal who killed [[Kat-B320]] is named Bob.<ref>[https://twitter.com/tyz_12/status/592951730956070912 '''Twitter''']</ref> | |||
*In combat, a Field Marshal is a powerful foe as best seen in the ''Halo: Reach'' level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''. Even on Normal difficult the Field Marshal is very hard to defeat as he has powerful shields. A direct [[plasma grenade]] stick, even one to his head, is not enough to kill him. Instead, the plasma grenade only takes down his shields and possibly does some injury. The best way to defeat the Field Marshal is to stick him with a plasma grenade and then once his shields are down, attack him with your primary weapons. Headshots from a distance fired by a [[Designated Marksman Rifle]] work well on the Field Marshal once his shields are down with a DMR being located near a corpse just inside of the warehouse holding the mass driver. | |||
