Like other Jiralhanae power armor variants, the armor employed by Jiralhanae leadership does not amplify the strength or speed of the wearer, but does provide [[energy shielding]] and protection in the form of composite armor plates.<ref name="ENC">''[[Halo Encyclopedia | Like other Jiralhanae power armor variants, the armor employed by Jiralhanae leadership does not amplify the strength or speed of the wearer, but does provide [[energy shielding]] and protection in the form of composite armor plates.<ref name="ENC">''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'', p.134 (2009); p.142 (2011)</ref> The leader power armor features a large enclosed helmet with a single slit for vision and heavy armor plating covering the body and extremitie, and the helmets could withstand multiple [[headshot]]s and the heavy armor is more resistant to attack than that of the standard Jiralhanae warrior.{{Ref/Game|Id=H3|H3}} Underneath the armor appears to be a padded cloth undersuit of some variety. The headdress on the helmet bears resemblance to the un-powered armor worn by Jiralhanae Captains during the [[Fall of Reach]]. The left shoulder pad of the armor, is more intricate, somewhat resembling that worn by [[Tartarus]], albeit smaller. Captains also wear plating on their forearms, and have heavier thigh armor than regular Jiralhanae. | ||
Jiralhanae Captains serving within the [[Banished]] are equipped with a red energy field, along with a helmet and full body armor in the Banished colors. Banished Captains are also equipped with a [[jump pack]] that helps them maneuver around the battlefield.{{Ref/Game|Id=Hi|Hi}} | |||

Jiralhanae Bodyguards employ armor colored in a dark blue color. Outside of standard Jiralhanae officer roles, the [[shipmaster]] [[Lepidus]] employed a variant of the leader power armor in a deep red coloration, though it is unknown is this coloring extended to other Brute shipmasters. | ||

In the early development of ''[[Halo 3]]'', some Jiralhanae were to wear red-colored leader armor. For reasons unknown, this was changed to the colors seen in the final game. A render of a red-colored Brute leader can be found in the ''[[Halo 3 Instruction Manual]]'' and the ''[[Bestiarum]]'', and the design later used in the form of Lepidus in ''[[Halo: Uprising]]''. Early builds of the game also had Brute Bodyguards in a grey-silver colour - something which was also carried over to the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]'' and its [[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)|2011 reissue]].{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=137}}{{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=145}} | |||
