 The particular Supreme Commander in the aforementioned text was a friend of, and yet superior to, [[Special Operations Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]]ee, and would later become the Arbiter.
-During the [[Civil War of the Covenant]], it is possible that Jiralhanae took these positions from the [[Sangheili]], but none have ever been seen, as the majority of the other posts were taken over.

 == Appearance ==
-In the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadamee wore vivid purple armor with a oddly-shaped helmet (probably for ceremonial purposes) and a slightly darker-colored cloak that draped over the armor's shoulders. If observed closely, this peculiar helmet bears a resemblance to the helmet of the Sangheili [[Combat Harness]] depicted in ''[[Halo 3]]''. Strangely, however, 'Vadamee did not wear this armor in the opening cutscene of ''[[Halo 2]]'', but instead wore the golden armor of a standard [[Zealot]]. It has been suggested that 'Vadamee resigned from the position of Supreme Commander due to his failure to safeguard [[Installation 04]], but this is apparently contradicted by his fierce claim that, "I will continue my campaign against the humans." (Indeed, whether it is even possible for a member of the Covenant military to resign from their position at will is unknown, particularly when that individual holds as lofty a rank as Supreme Commander). 'Vadamee may have chosen to wear this armor as a gesture of humility or shame toward the [[High Prophet|Hierarchs]] and the [[High Council]] in the face of his failure.
+When commanding a Fleet, Supreme Commanders were wearing gold [[armor]] signifying the Zealot range of ranks, with a purple cloak that wraps around and over the armor piece of their shoulders, and a showy helmet, probably with ceremonial purpose.<ref>''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''</ref> The Supreme Commander's unusual helmet looks somewhat similar to the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Sangheili Combat Harness]] when compared closely. However, when Thel 'Vadamee appears before the [[Covenant]] [[High Council]], he sports golden [[Zealot]] armor without a purple cloak. This may signify that the purple cloak is only for those who command fleets, or that he resigned from his position.
 == Trivia ==
-*[[Thel 'Vadamee]] is the only known Supreme Commander to date.
+*[[Thel 'Vadam]] was the only known Supreme Commander.
-* Supreme Commander ''may'' be a type of [[Zealot]], as the term "Zealot" appears to be a blanket rank covering various positions. This theory is supported by the fact that 'Vadamee wore Zealot armor while standing trial in the [[Council Chamber]],<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'' cutscene [[The Heretic (Level)|The Heretic]]</ref> though it does not explain why Supreme Commanders wear purple armor and cloaks while actually commanding their fleets.
+* Supreme Commander ''may'' be a type of [[Zealot]], as the term "Zealot" appears to be a blanket rank covering various positions, and Thel was in a Zealot armor suit when he was in the [[Council Chamber]].<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'' cutscene [[The Heretic (Level)|The Heretic]].</ref>
