It is speculated that only one individual can hold this rank at a time, similar to the Human rank of [[Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps]]. From what is gathered from the name, holders of this rank are believed to be in command of all Special Forces troops within the Covenant, but often lead attacks themselves.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', level ''[[The Arbiter (Level)]]''</ref> This is assuming, however, that the title is meant to refer to one's authority and not one's origin (example: Julius Caesar of Rome). This trend of personal leadership may be due to Sangheili nature, mainly their sense of honor. It appears that the Special Operations Commander is clad in armor similar to standard Ultras, although not exactly identical. | ||
