The first | *While only one Field Marshal is fought in-game during ''Halo: Reach''{{'}}s campaign, several sightings occur. The first encounter is at the end of ''[[Winter Contingency]]'' where the Marshal confronts Noble Team, though he quickly retreats upon being outnumbered. The second sighting is during ''[[New Alexandria]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s final cutscene, killing [[Catherine-B320]] from a Phantom. The only in-game Field Marshal encounter is at the end of the level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]'', trying to prevent [[SPARTAN-B312]] from manning the [[Mark 2488 Onager|mass driver]]. Finally, during the finale of ''[[Lone Wolf]]'', a Zealot steps in front of the camera and ignites his Energy Sword as Noble Six is finally stricken down; while the Zealot's full body is obscured off-screen, it's implied this is another Field Marshal. | ||
*The Field Marshal is one of two enemies in ''Reach'' capable of switching weapons, along with the Zealot fought in ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''. He is equipped with a fuel rod cannon and when his shields are depleted he will switch to an energy sword. | *The Field Marshal is one of two enemies in ''Reach'' capable of switching weapons, along with the Zealot fought in ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''.
