Imperial Admiral

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

Rank
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, as Xytan 'Jar Wattinree promoted Voro Nar 'Mantakree, but this is not known for sure. It is revealed in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx that the Imperial Admiral controls the fleet of the Covenant.

Physical Appearance
The armour could possibly be silver armor covered with the gold Forerunner glyphs of sacred mystery, Such silver-and-gold Elite armor has yet to be seen or mentioned elsewhere, and may be superior in quality to the gold armor of a Zealot. Xytan travels with a large hologram of himself, and it is unknown if other Imperial Admirals do so.

Appearances
No Sangheili of this rank appear in any of the Halo games. The only Imperial Admiral ever noted was Xytan 'Jar Wattinree in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.

Current Status
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.
