Atriox's Chosen

"I will lay down my life for Atriox."

- An Atriox's Chosen.

Atriox's Chosen are Jiralhanae Chieftains promoted by Atriox to be his personal enforcers. They are only made up of the most cunning and loyal Jiralhanae warriors, with their unquestioning devotion to Atriox making them a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, and personal energy shields make them even harder to kill for any UNSC soldiers unlucky enough to cross their path. Answerable only to Atriox, these Jiralhanae are feared by many lower-ranking Jiralhanae and hated by Let 'Volir’s Sangheili troops. Many prideful Chieftains who dared question Atriox's command were taken care of by Atriox's inner circle. Each Chosen is typically armed with a Type-25 Brute Shot.

Production notes
In Halo Wars 2 Open Beta and Blitz Beta, Jiralhanae Warlords wear same armor as Atriox's Chosen. Several Jiralhanae were also shown in blitz to wear Atriox's Chosen power armor, yet armed with Type-2 gravity hammer, instead of Type-25 Brute Shot as typically armed with by Atriox's Chosen, as shown in the gameplay and as well as stated in Phoenix Logs.
