Ascetics


 * Ascetic redirects here. For the armor permutation, see Ascetic Harness, or other uses of the term, Asceticism.

The Ascetics are a group within the Sangheili culture.

Overview
The Ascetics act as the physical and mental embodiment of ideological purity. The Ascetics' presence is meant to promote feelings of stability and order. An Ascetic is to instill confidence in those loyal to the State and fear in those who would undermine it. To that end, their actions are swift and their decisions final. By example, they are to show each Sangheili the true path.

Trivia
