Stealth Sangheili

The Stealth Elite is a Covenant Sangheili rank.

Armor and Armament
These elites are clad in dull gray body armor, but are unshielded - they are not equipped with Elite Personal Energy Shields. However, their defensive capabilities are augumented by permanent Active Camo technology.

Stealth Elites are normally armed with Plasma Rifles.

Halo: Combat Evolved
Stealth Elites were far more common in Halo: Combat Evolved, compared to its successor. On Installation 04, Stealth Elites were present in many places, especially near the Silent Cartographer.

Halo 2
Stealth Elites were responsible for the death of Master Sergeant Gunns on Cairo Station, Armory A-01, and some were present on patrol of High Charity.

Disambiguation
They are sometimes mistaken as Special Operations Elites, who have armor equipped with technology to temporarily sustain Active Camoflauge (like the Arbiter), but are shielded.
