The '''Jiralhanae''' (Latin, ''Servus ferox'', translated to "Wild Slave"<ref>http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive29.pl?read=865756</ref>), also known as '''Brutes''', are the newest members of the Covenant. They are a large, bipedal, ape-like species from [[Doisac]]. After the [[Kig-yar]], the Jiralhanae and [[Unggoy]] were the second two Covenant species encountered by [[humans]]. The Brutes have a profound hatred of the [[Sangheili]], unmatched by any other feud within the Covenant, fired by the Jiralhanae's natural aggressive nature and the Sangheili's attitudes of superiority.

 

The Jiralhanae have been part of the Covenant since before the destruction of the [[UNSC]] agricultural colony on [[Harvest]]<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]], Page 194''</ref>, and were always feared by the Sangheili for their monomaniacal behavior. The Jiralhanaes' plans to seize power over the Sangheili began with their alliance with the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] during the [[Battle of Harvest]] and continued to gain headway until the eventual [[Great Schism|splitting]] of the Covenant. They eventually [[Changing of the Guard|took the role]] of the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]]s' [[Honor Guard]]s from the Sangheili after the Sangheili failed to prevent [[Regret (Level)|the assassination]] of the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]] by the [[John-117|Master Chief]], finally culminating with the Jiralhanae replacing the Sangheili as the leaders of the [[Covenant Military]].

They are rated a Native Tier 4/Adopted Tier 2 species by the [[Technological Achievement Tiers|Forerunner Technological Achievement Tier scale]].<ref name="Halo 3 Bestiarum">[[Halo 3]] [[Bestiarum]]</ref>

[[File:AncientDoisacBrutes.png|240px|left|thumb|Ancient Brutes on Doisac.]]

[[File:1223827034 Brute group.jpg|240px|left|thumb|A [[Brute Chieftain]] performing a sermon in front of his pack.]]

Despite their savagery, Brutes have proved intelligent enough to achieve [[Technological Achievement Tiers|spaceflight and space-faring status]], though their warlike nature meant they quickly collapsed into civil war, and quickly afterward, fell back to their former pre-space status and learn nothing from the experience. The Brutes had recently concluded a mechanized war of attrition in which the many [[Master Pack]]s fought and pummeled each other back to a pre-industrial state. When the Covenant discovered them in [[2492]], they had just rediscovered radio and rocketry.<ref>''[[Halo:Contact Harvest]]''</ref> In their primitive state they were quickly defeated and absorbed into the Covenant.

Their warrior culture makes them formidable opponents, even for [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]], and they were incorporated into the Covenant as fierce guards for the Prophets and heavy infantry.

Brutes are obviously carnivores, given their fearsome fanged jaws and propensity for violence. It has been stated that they feed on the flesh of their enemies, such as the [[Humans]] they face in battle, and have been seen eating the meat of a [[Thorn Beast]], apparently considered a delicacy among Brutes.<ref name="Halo: Contact Harvest">''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''</ref> They have once stated they would have gladly devoured the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]], had they been allowed<ref>[[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]], [[Halo 2]]-"Them? What about us? My belly aches, and his flesh is seared just the way I like it."</ref>.

As part of the Covenant, Brutes were required as a prerequisite to convert to the Prophets' religion of worshiping the [[Forerunners]]. Previously, their original culture revolved around the worship of totems and idols<ref name="Halo 3 Bestiarum"/>, but they made swift converts. As it is, the Brutes are now the most fanatical adherents to the Prophet's faith, although they seem to hold little concept of sanctity, evidenced by Tartarus's handling of the [[343 Guilty Spark (Character)|"Oracle"]], among other things.

Though Brutes are described numerous times as the most recent additions to the Covenant, their "ancient feud"<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''</ref> with the Sangheili means that their introduction into the Covenant was still some time ago.

Even at a glance, the Brutes are one of the most primitive members of the Covenant, at least technologically. Even though they employ [[Power Armor]], and use a selection of the Covenant's weapons such as the [[Brute Plasma Rifle|Plasma Rifle]], their native technology is crude; they often use weapons propelling spike-like or explosive projectiles. These weapons are often fitted with effective metal blades for melee combat.

Though the Jiralhanae retained their pack and tribal culture, their constant internal feuds began to take a back seat as enmity with the Sangheili built up, caused by the similarity in roles between the two species. Though the Jiralhanae retained the majority of their pre-Covenant technology, they also began to incorporate aspects of Covenant technology into their own designs, including mounting a plasma cannon onto their [[Brute Prowler|Prowler]], a vehicle with a strong Jiralhanae aesthetic but with some Covenant technology. The Jiralhanae have little need to learn the languages of other species, instead relying on translation devices<ref name="Halo: Contact Harvest"/>. Their exact fate, after the disastrous defeat at [[Installation 00|the Ark]], is unknown, though it is extremely unlikely that they would surrender or retreat, or that the Sangheili would allow them to. A Sangheili Shipmaster visiting [[Kholo]] noted that at least some Jiralhanae factions had formed separate from the Covenant, waging an internecine war against each other and when the remaining [[San 'Shyuum]] retreated into hiding, they returned to their primitive nature to give the Sangheili the upper hand<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]'', "The Return"</ref>.

==Description==

[[File:Brute Pack.jpg|240px|right|thumb|A [[Pack]] of Brutes, consisting of many ranks.]]

Brutes are of simian origin and have been said to resemble large gorillas, but, in some ways, they also resemble ursine, or rhinoceros as well. They have thick, gray skin, and are covered with matted, black, tan, or brown fur-like hair and some have short, black, or brown colored beards. Their large, stocky appearance is most likely due to the gravity on their planet, which is about twice the gravity of that on [[Earth]]. As they age, the hair will change to a grayish-silver color, which is a great sign of respect for all the Brutes.

They have very sharp teeth and sometimes use them as a weapon. Standing roughly 8" feet tall, [[John-117]] barely survived a hand-to-hand battle with one, proving how physically powerful they can be. However it should be noted that John-117 and the other Spartans were suffering from the non-stop combat they had endured since the battle of Reach, with John-117 sustaining, in Doctor Halsey's words, "Burns, brain damage, fractures, and internal bleeding". The other Spartans involved in the fight had sustained various injuries from falling over two kilometers at terminal velocity onto Reach's surface. It appears that their physical strength cannot be accurately quantified.<ref>''[[Halo 2 Collector's Edition Game Manual]]''</ref>

The Brutes, with the exception of [[Tartarus]], did not use energy shielding in ''[[Halo 2]]''. In ''[[Halo 3]]'', all of them are equipped with [[Power Armor]] that emphasizes their natural strength and power. Brutes speak in deep, gravelly voices when speaking Human languages and speak their native language as a series of grunts, hisses, roars and deep communal howls during ceremonies and for communication.

In many military records, Brutes are referred to as 'Bravo Kilos', since [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] have nicknamed Brutes "Baby Kongs" or "Gorillas", a reference to King Kong.

[[File:BruteCaptain02.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Two [[Brute Captain]]s standing guard in [[Halo 2]].]]

[[File:Brute Bare.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A Brute stripped of most of his [[Power Armor (Jiralhanae)|Power Armor]]. Note that Brutes in ''[[Halo 3]]'' have shaved faces and a carefully groomed beard.]]

Brutes are physically imposing enemies to face in combat. Standing at approximately 8 feet tall, they not only tower over their [[human]] opponents, but the majority of their Covenant allies, with only [[Hunters]] standing taller. They have thick, gray skin that is extremely resilient to damage.

In [[Halo 2|their first appearance]], they are covered in thick, shaggy fur that offers further protection. It covers most of the body except for the head and the shoulder blades. However, the Brutes in ''[[Halo 2]]'' are shaggier than those of ''[[Halo 3]]''. In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the Brutes have what looks like scales on their arms, but it may have been extensions to their armor, or simply their thick skin, as seen from McFarlane action figures. Brutes exhibit two coloration's: brown and gray. This is perhaps an indication of age, since lower ranking Brutes are brown and most [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Honor Guards]], and [[Tartarus]] himself, are grey. In ''[[Halo 3]]'', they are seen with shaven faces, which increase the fearful effect they have on opponents.

In ''Halo 3'' Brutes have mixed red-and-blue blood (on first glance they look completely red, but on closer inspection one would see blue spots in pools of Brute blood). At a casual glance, it appears purple. In ''Halo 2'', however, it appeared black. Brutes resemble a cross between an ape and a rhino, being taller and more muscular in the torso and limbs than a [[human]].  

Heavily muscled and possessing an animalistic brutality and strength, Brutes can rely on close combat to defeat their enemies, even more so than their [[Elite]] counterparts. However, their great strength may in fact be simply relative, due to the species' evolution on a world with twice the gravity of Delta Halo, Earth, and other planets and structures with one G. Featuring characteristics simian, ursine, and alien, their appearance fits their [[human]] given name.

Brutes have digits on each hand including opposable thumbs. As such they can make use of a variety of weapons both of Covenant and human design. Their feet have only two digits. The Halo 3 Tartarus figure has a red tongue but if this is canon is unknown. When it comes to ranged conflict Brutes show a tendency to use large, rapid firing, often powerful weapons. This may be indicative of their mentality and an extension of their brutal nature. The many spikes and serrated edges that adorn their race's weapons, vehicles and armor further exhibit this. It is interesting to note that in ''[[Halo 2]]'' Jiralhanae can be seen using human [[Shotguns]]. The Brutes also wield a handgun version of the Shotgun, the [[Mauler]], in ''Halo 3''.

Brutes are not as mentally slow as they may appear, and are often fairly cunning tacticians. As such they can pilot vehicles & ships and command both land based & fleet encounters with strategic competence, albeit lacking in artistic flair. They also have a higher vocabulary than other members of the Covenant apart from Elites and Prophets.

Brutes are known to descend into a highly aggressive berserk killing-rage when all their pack mates have been killed. Their incredible physical strength coupled with a dogged self determination to kill their target makes a berserk Brute a force to be reckoned with, powerful enough even to kill [[Hunters]] (if they slam into the Hunter enough). Also, when berserking, they will not hesitate to attack an enemy, even if the target is in a vehicle, such as a [[Ghost]]. If the target is in a [[Spectre]] or [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]], they will board it and attempt to kill (in a [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]]) or force the enemy out (such as in a [[Warthog]] or [[Spectre]]). Interestingly, they will neither attack nor hijack a low flying vehicle (such as a [[Banshee]]).

There is a substantial difference between the Brutes of ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]''. The Brutes of ''[[Halo 2]]'' had very little armor, were unclothed and unshaven. The Brutes of ''[[Halo 3]]'' were largely shaven, clothed in tight-fitting garments that reflected their rank and were adorned with [[Power Armor (Jiralhanae)|Power Armor]]. This probably had something to do with the Brutes' new-found rank after the [[Elites]]' split from the [[Covenant]].

The aesthetic and graphic differences between the two games also had a strong dichotomy between them, for the Brutes in ''[[Halo 2]]'' were less detailed and less anthropoid than they were in ''Halo 3''. This is a result of the technology available at the time the two games were made.

Given the absence of power armor at the time of ''Halo 2'', it is possible that the Brutes that were seen were members of Tartarus's pack and/or a subset of the Jiralhanae that shunned the use of extensive protection and emphasized relying on their own strength, skill, courage, and ferocity to protect them, or that all the Brutes you encountered in ''Halo 2'' are from Maccabeus/Tartarus' clan and were banned from wearing armor due to their failure at Harvest.

It is also possible that the Brutes of ''Halo 2'' were second in rank to the [[Elites]] and the [[Prophets]]. Following [[Great Schism|The Great Schism]], the Brutes became the Prophets' main protection, and it became a necessity to outfit them with more advanced equipment.  

In ''Halo: Contact Harvest'', it is stated that before Jiralhanae reach full maturity, they naturally release pheromones. Other Jiralhanae can smell these pheromones and tell how others are feeling by the scent. When they do reach maturity, they learn to control the releases of their pheromones and most likely stop them all together.

Brutes are extremely zealous creatures, known for their willingness to cling to ancient, bloody traditions and are deep believers in the promise of the [[Great Journey]] and in the [[Forerunners]]. Their home world is war torn, and Brutes are known for their particular joy in vicious activity, complimented by regimented discipline.

They prefer using weapons from their [[Doisac|homeworld]], rather than the Covenant standard-issue [[plasma]]-based firearms. Brute weapons are notable for being extremely dangerous, somewhat primitive and brutal, and always featuring a blade attachment such as the [[Spiker]], [[Mauler]], [[Brute Shot]], and the [[Gravity Hammer]]. These weapons show their barbaric nature, for example, the fact that all of the weapons are named after ways of injury or causing bodily harm to another being. Although they do have their own type of [[Brute Plasma Rifle|Plasma Rifle]], it is only found in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' (the rifle is red, but fires twice as fast as its blue counterpart, also causing it to overheat twice as fast). This type of Plasma Rifle was removed in ''Halo 3'', being replaced by the Spiker.

In general, Brutes have a pronounced dislike of the [[Sangheili]], due to the fact that they believe that they are better protectors of the Prophets than the [[Elites]]. The [[Prophet of Truth]] took advantage of this to ignite the [[Great Schism]] during the events of ''[[Halo 2]]''.

[[File:Brute Army Commander.jpg|thumb|300px|A [[Brute Army Commander]] yelling at his opponent.]]

===Society===

Brutes have a fierce pack culture and lineage, a close knit affair that ties each member to another, and forces them into varying states of rage known as "berserking", and desperate mourning for their fallen pack mates should one die in the midst of battle. What a pack member kills may be the food of the pack. Each pack is led by a prominent [[Brute Chieftain]] that wields a ceremonial [[Gravity Hammer]], passed from one leader to another upon his death, to denote his status. A Brute becomes a pack [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain]] by challenging the current [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain]] to a Mortal duel; the victor claims the title after executing the other. The chieftain rules his pack like his own little empire. Their warrior culture is extremely patriarchal, with rank measured by success on ''and'' off the battlefield, unlike the Sangheili.<ref name="Halo 3 Bestiarum"/>

It is unlikely, given their combative and aggressive nature, that the Jiralhanae have a single cohesive government. Instead, Jiralhanae society can be viewed as an extension to the simply pack structure, but with a number of different levels:

*'''[[Alpha Tribe]]s''' - seem to be the political body of the Jiralhanae, and are comprised of smaller [[Master Packs]]. Lead by Alpha Jiralhanae.

*'''[[Master-Pack|Master Packs]]''' - more military oriented groups, Master-Packs are comprised of many smaller [[packs]]. Prior to contact with the Covenant, rival Master Packs reduced Jiralhanae society to a preindustrial level through warfare.

*'''[[Pack]]s''' - range in size and importance, with less important packs made up largely of [[Unggoy]] or [[Kig-Yar]] forces and led by a low-ranked Jiralhanae, and more important packs led by [[War Chieftain]]s and comprised of more experienced veteran Jiralhanae bodyguards.

===Naming===

Most known Jiralhanae have Latin-sounding names, such as [[Tartarus]] and [[Bracktanus]]. In ''[[Contact Harvest]]'', it is revealed that the "-us" at the end of their name is an honor denoting maturity or experience in battle (similar to the "-ee" suffix on Elite's names.) However, it is possible that different naming conventions are used among different tribes, as evidenced by the names of [[Gargantum]] and [[Parabum]].

==Home World==

[[Doisac]] is the name of the Jiralhanae home world. It possesses three satellites: [[Warial]], [[Solrapt]], and [[Teash]], and is the fourth planet of the Oth Sonin system. The gravity on the planet is approximately 2.1G <ref name="Halo 3 Bestiarum"/> while the atmosphere is 1.3 ATM. Surface temperature is between -15'C to 52'C. The estimated population of the planet is approximately 12.5 billion. Its habitat is described as being dominated by magma and magnetism.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', Essentials Disk 1</ref>

==Rank Structure==

The Brute species is arranged in a pack society, based on a hierarchy determined by viciousness and number of war kills. A “pack master” leads brute packs. A [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftain]] will frequently be addressed as such while issuing orders during combat. In ''Halo 2'', the ranks were mostly determined by red flags on their backs, the amount of armor they wore and the color of their fur (sometimes even their weapons). Like the [[Sangheili|Elites]], ranks in ''Halo 3'' are differentiated by armor color. Furthermore, the higher the rank, the more advanced and resilient the armor becomes.

|Brute Ultras are now armed with violet Armor, they are comprised of the best of the regular infantrymen, showing tact, cunning skill and strength. Identification: Purple-Blue/Indigo armor.

|}

Also in ''Halo 2'', Brute Minors are seen with little to no armor, the only armor being a helmet-like head plate which, ironically, gives no protection from headshots from even the weaker weapons such as the Plasma Pistol and Magnum. It is known they do not switch weapons at any time.

'''[[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae]]''' - The Leader of the entire Jiralhanae race. Both [[Maccabeus]] and [[Tartarus]] were of this rank. Since Tartarus was killed in the [[Battle of Installation 05]], the current Chieftain is unknown, if there is one at all.

'''[[Ship Master|Brute Ship Master]]/Alpha Jiralhanae''' - Commanders of ships. They may be equivalent to Captains or Chieftains of the Jiralhanae.

'''[[Jiralhanae Army Commander]]''' - Only in [[Halo Wars]], probably same rank or near same rank as Chieftain of the Jiralhanae. May be a specific rank created for war and conflict, such as the [[Human-Covenant war]].

==Gameplay==

{{Main|Jiralhanae/Gameplay}}

Unlike Elites, who are masterfully skilled tacticians, the Brute combat mentality relies on overwhelming force, sheer strength, and incredibly strong firepower, hence the name "Brute". They are easily enraged, and when provoked, will drop their weapon and charge their opponent.  

*During concept stages for [[Halo 3]], the Brutes were planned to use deployable metal shields, rather than the energy shields used by Elites. This idea was eventually cut from the final game, although it would inspire the Brutes ducking animation.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Animation_BillOBrien</ref>

*Before ''[[Halo 3]]'' was released, Brutes had lime green blood instead of the dark purple/red blood they have in the final game.

*In ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' the power armor of the Brutes completely lights up instead of small sparks marking where gun fire hits their armor like in ''[[Halo 3]]''. This makes them similar to [[Elite]] and [[Spartan-II]] Energy Shields.

*In ''Contact Harvest'', it is said that the honorable way to finish off one's relative when battling to the death for leadership rights to become the next Chieftain is to use their ceremonial dagger to slice their opponent's throat.

*According to ''First Strike'', Brutes were first encountered by SPARTAN-II personnel aboard the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' in 2552. However, ''Contact Harvest'', ''[[Halo Wars]]'', and multiple stories in ''Halo Evolutions'' clearly indicate that Brutes were encountered by humanity in general much earlier, while ''[[The Package]]'' reveals that they had been encountered by SPARTAN-IIs as early as [[2535]].

*The Brutes are referred to as "Bravo kilos" by Marines, being phonetic code for "Baby Kongs", a joke about the species' gorilla-like appearance.

*The word "Jiralhanae" is a Korean word, roughly meaning "stupid aggressive lunatic", which describes the Brutes' aggressive personality.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Covenant_%28Halo%29&diff=next&oldid=45665662</ref>
