Imperial Admiral

Imperial Admiral is a Covenant Sangheili (Elite) rank. They are beleved to command large fleets.

Summary
Usually an Imperial Admiral operates on a high ranking Covenant Flagship such as an Assault Carrier, Supercarrier, or other powerful capital ships within the Covenant armada. They seem to be higher ranked than a Zealot, but this is not known for sure. It is revealed in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx that the Imperial Admiral controls the entire military of the Covenant, or at least the fleet. No Sangheili of this rank appear in any of the Halo games. It is also unknown if when Xytan 'Jar Wattinree defected from the Covenant if the Prophets replaced him with a Brute, or if the position is still empty. As of yet, very little is known about the rank. Xytan travels with a large hologram of himself, and it is unknown if other Imperial Admirals do so.
