These Sangheili were once part of the artifact retrieval group led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]] on [[Threshold]]'s [[Threshold gas mine|gas mine]].

Heretic Sangheili encountered in [[Halo 2]] are the [[Sangheili]]s of the artifact retrieval group led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]]. When [[Sesa 'Refumee|'Refumee]] discovered the truth about the [[Halo]]s, his Sangheili followed him in the rebellion against the [[Hierarchs|High Prophets]], knowing what the Halo Installations would do if they continued [[The Great Journey]]. They used the [[Threshold gas mine|Gas Mine]] above [[Threshold]] as a base, and placed [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] and at least one [[Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Seraph]] starfighter as an "Air Force" to defend the mine. They also set up a makeshift camp on [[Basis]], Threshold's moon.

They mostly use [[Carbine]]s, [[Sentinel Beam]]s, and also [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Swords]], but are never seen using [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenades]]. [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifles]] are only used by Heretic Banshee pilots and the Heretic leader. This most likely originates from the fact that the Heretics want to shun the Prophet-given plasma weapons and further themselves from the Covenant's [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]].
The energy shields of the Gold Heretics are as strong as a Major's, while the energy shields of the brown ones are as strong as a Minor's. Note that their shields glow purple instead of the blue that Covenant-loyal Sangheili use.
