Heretic Sangheili Minor

Heretic Elite Minors were denoted by their Brown armor. They often lead Lances of Heretic Grunts. They were fearless warriors that ensured that their jobs were done well. They were the main enemies in the level The Arbiter, but they were also present in The Oracle. Most, if not all, were killed when the gas mine fell into the depths of Threshold, after the Arbiter cut the cables holding the mine above Threshold.

These Elites were led by Sesa 'Refumee, along with the other Heretic castes. It's possible some were part of Sesa's Artifact Retrieval Group, and believed in what he spoke about after the Oracle informed him of the true purpose of the Halo array. Others may have heard his words elsewhere, and came to believe as well. Whatever the case, they all fought against the Arbiter and the Special Operations Elites sent into the mine to silence the heresy. When the Arbiter and a Phantom took to the skies, Minor Elites patrolling the station by way of Banshee continued to battle against them, but were ultimately put down. After the cables were cut, none seemed to be willing to give up on their beliefs and continued to fight, despite the fact that they most likely knew they were going to die one way or another. It has been assumed that all survivors from both the Flood infestation and the Elites sent to quell their group perished after the mine fell into Threshold.
