Sangheili Mercenary

"After the collapse of the Covenant, the Sangheili found themselves weakened and embroiled in another fierce civil war - this time with their own kind."

- Description from the Monster Energy promotion

Sangheili Mercenaries, or Elite Mercenaries, are the standard low ranking Sangheili mercenaries working for the Banished. While the Banished Sangheili are mercenaries in general, higher ranking individuals can hold titles such as Ultra, or Shipmaster as Let 'Volir did.

Description
While many Sangheili continued to genocidally hunt down and slaughter the Jiralhanae, a few were persuaded by Atriox to work for the Banished, as he claimed to have no complicity with Tartarus and the other Jiralhanae who had betrayed and massacred their kind. As such, a small minority of Sangheili have joined the Banished as mercenaries, some of which used their earnings of military resources to fight out disputes with other Sangheili kin on their homeworlds. Joining the Banished was frowned upon in Sangheili culture, Let 'Volir's name was notably forever tarnished for working under a Jiralhanae.

Operational history
Many of Let Volir's mercenaries took part in the battle between the UNSC Spirit of Fire and the Banished on the Lesser Ark. Several standard Sangheili Mercenaries were hired by the Banished and fought against the Master Chief during the Installation 07 conflict.

Production notes
The design of the Sangheili Mercenaries bear an almost-identical design to that of some Sangheili Minor concept art created by Isaac Hannaford for Halo: Reach (shown below).
