| For the Sangheili serving in the Banished, the position of warlord represents the most significant departure from the old [[Covenant]]'s traditional military structure. While Sangheili warlords typically serve as field commanders and generals in combat, they are described to be similar in role to that of a [[Kaidon]], the lord of a [[Sangheili]] [[keep]]. Although a warlord does not necessarily have to be a Kaidon, the few Kaidons willing to join the Banished despite its stigma, such as [[Thav 'Sebarim]],{{Ref/Game|Id=Target02|HINF|[[High Value Target]] dossier, Thav 'Sebarim}} are considered best suited for the position due to their ruling experience. A warlord commands hundreds of [[Sangheili Mercenary|mercenaries]] and [[Sangheili Enforcer|enforcers]] in a unified, holistic manner, and drives them to outperform all others in the Banished.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=429}}

| ===History=== | | ===History=== |
| A number of Sangheili Warlords participated in the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] where they commanded large numbers of troops, oversaw operations at certain bases, and guarded key [[Forerunner]] facilities. One of the most infamous of these Warlords was [[Chak 'Lok]], [[Escharum]]'s chief interrogator, who brutally tortured [[UNSC]] [[Prisoner of war|POWs]] at his [[Tower]]. On [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]], [[John-117]] stormed the Tower and slew Chak 'Lok, putting an end to the Warlord's reign of terror. As he continued his campaign against the Banished on Zeta Halo, the Master Chief encountered other Sangheili Warlords.

| Warlords can swap their weapons and draw [[Energy Swords]] and cloak. They are usually armed with [[Veporokk Workshop Ravager]]s. Like other Sangheili enemies, Warlords carry [[plasma grenade]]s. Warlords are often seen commanding large groups of low to high ranking [[Unggoy]], [[Kig-yar]], [[Jiralhanae]] and even other lower ranking [[Sangheili]]. | | Warlords can swap their weapons and draw [[Energy Swords]] and cloak. |
