Whenever there is a Chieftain nearby, you will encounter Brute Bodyguards, which look very similar to [[Brute Captain|Captains]]. Brute Chieftains are typically accompanied by 2 to 4 Brute Bodyguards. Bodyguard Brutes are also seen protecting the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] on the level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]. | ||
They are likely the replacement for the [[Honor Guard]] being that [[Tartarus]] also had Honor Guard protection. Brute bodyguards seem to favor Covenant weapons such as the [[Plasma Rifle]] and [[Carbine]] rather than their own native technology, but they have been seen wielding the powerful and deadly [[Brute Shot]] and the [[Mauler]]. They come in two variants: a more common, silver-blue<ref>http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsCampaignHalo3.aspx?gameid=27585757&player=Kyle%20the%20Irish</ref> (with red under-armor) variant, and a less common, silver armored (with red under-armor) variant.

Brute Bodyguards are usually seen wielding [[Brute Spiker]]s, [[Plasma Rifle]]s, [[Covenant Carbine]]s, [[Maulers]], and occasionally [[Brute Shots]]. Despite its resemblance to a Brute Captain's armor, a Brute Bodyguard's light, pale blue [[Power Armor]] is actually only around the same strength as a [[Brute Major|Major Brute's]]. On Heroic and Legendary, it only takes 1 [[Particle Beam Rifle]] or [[Sniper Rifle]] shot to destroy their Power Armor, while 2 shots are required to destroy the Power Armor of a [[Brute Captain]] of any rank. On [[Heroic]] difficulty, it takes roughly 29 assault rifle bullets to kill a Brute Bodyguard; 10 shots to drop their shield, and an additional 19 shots to kill them. | Brute Bodyguards are usually seen wielding [[Brute Spiker]]s, [[Plasma Rifle]]s, [[Covenant Carbine]]s, [[Maulers]], and occasionally [[Brute Shots]].

Brute Bodyguards almost always carry one piece of Equipment; a [[Power Drainer]], [[Bubble Shield]], or [[Regenerator]]. They seem to overwhelmingly favor the Regenerator, often using it to support their Chieftain by helping to rapidly recharge his shields. | Brute Bodyguards almost always carry one piece of Equipment; a [[Power Drainer]], [[Bubble Shield]], or [[Regenerator]].

*In the E3 trailer of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', a Brute Bodyguard is seen holding a [[Fuel Rod Gun]]. This [[Brute]] could also be a Captain, due to the similarities in armor, though. | *In the E3 trailer of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', a Brute Bodyguard is seen holding a [[Fuel Rod Gun]].
