Originally, the Heretics were a Covenant artifact retrieval team attached to the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] and led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]]. They were investigating a [[Gas Mine]] on the planet [[Threshold]] when the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn]]'' crashed on [[Installation 04|Halo]]. When the [[Master Chief]] destroyed Halo, the team was spared from death. | Originally, the Heretics were a Covenant artifact retrieval team attached to the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] and led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]].

Having abandoned the inclusive culture and ideals of the Covenant entirely, [[Sesa 'Refumee]] decided to carry a new banner for his troops: the beige and gold colors of the original [[Sangheili]] homeworld. The Elites and [[Grunts]] donned new armor of these colors as well as outfittings to help them survive in the Hydrogen atmosphere of the [[Threshold]] [[Gas Mine]]. The armor, although protective, appears to be much more ornate and ceremonial than the Covenant standard issue armor, although the armor also may be re-painted and stripped down from the original Covenant armor. It appears, however, that the armor resembles greatly that worn by the Sangheili clan in [[Halo Wars: Genesis]]. It is plausible that the "Heretic armor" is in fact a clan-based armor that the Elites use outside of the Covenant military structure. | Having abandoned the inclusive culture and ideals of the Covenant entirely, [[Sesa 'Refumee]] decided to carry a new banner for his troops: the beige and gold colors of the original [[Sangheili]] homeworld.

There are 1-2 Heretic Banshees on the last level of ''Halo 2'', [[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]].

Heretic [[Grunts]] wield [[Needlers]], [[Fuel Rod Cannon]]s, and they can also man [[Plasma Cannon]]s. They have never been seen using [[Plasma Pistol]]s, the weapon more commonly used by their regular, non-Heretic counterparts, although a fair amount of Plasma Pistols are scattered throughout their base of operations. The most common weapon used by them is the [[Needler]]. They are also not as suicidally stupid as their [[Covenant]] counterparts, and they never panic or run away (despite that, they still could say ''He dead? Me run!'', when Heretic Elite is killed). They are also noticeably tougher and harder to melee due to their reduced armored re-breathers. Their masks do not cover their entire mouths as those of Covenant [[Grunts]] do. | Heretic [[Grunts]] wield [[Needlers]], [[Fuel Rod Cannon]]s, and they can also man [[Plasma Cannon]]s.

[[Heretic Elites]] seem to use either [[Covenant Carbine]]s or [[Sentinel Beam]]s and occasionally the [[Energy Sword]]. This probably means they use reloadable weapons instead of making multiple weapons. Apart from the [[Heretic Leader]] himself, they never use the [[Plasma Rifle]]s wielded more often by their regular counterparts, although if you board a Banshee piloted by one, the pilot will be wielding one. Heretic Elites have three ranks. Brown Elites are the equivalent of a loyalist [[Minor Domo]] and the gold is the equivalent of a [[Loyalist]] [[Major Domo]]. The red armor is only worn by the Heretic leader. | |||
