:::Actualy, he isn't below the grunts, rank-wise. He can command other Elites, wether out of military command or simply respect from the other Elites. For the Elites, the rank's actual position is not clear, but as to the grunts, it is. The Arbiter is an Elite, and as such, he is higher up on the food chain, per se. Again, maybe the Grunts follow him out of religious respect, but even disregarding that, he is an Elite. As for the "punishment" argument, you forget one thing. This last Arbiter was indeed a disgraced Zealot, but that doesn't mean the rest of the Arbiters have been disgraced. Maybe they were very efficient commanders chosen to protect the Covenant in a time of desperate need. "Were it not for the Arbiters, the Covenant would have broken long ago!" as the High Prophet of Mercy put it. This indicates that the Covenant hold the Arbiter in high regard due to his status as their savior in dire times.--[[User:Daas Keter 'Tipheret|High Seraph]] 01:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC) | :::Actualy, he isn't below the grunts, rank-wise.

::::The position is more ceremony that military. An arbiter is expected to be sent off on one mission and die succeeding in it, like the kamikaze pilots of Japan. He is never intended to live longer than the one mission he is given the title for, the current Arbiter appears to be the only Arbiter who has ever lived after his assignment was fulfilled. --<b>[[User:ED|<font color="000000">ED</font>]]<sub>([[User talk:ED|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])</sub><sup>[http://halofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Halo:_Shock_Front<font color="000000">(shockfront)]</font></sup></b> 21:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC) | ::::The position is more ceremony that military.
