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 [[Sangheili|Elites]]. The [[Prophet of Truth]] took advantage of this to ignite the [[Great Schism]] during the events of ''[[Halo 2]]''. However, it appears that at least some Jiralhanae have surrendered and are willing to serve the Sangheili after the end of the war.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page ??''</ref> | 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 [[Sangheili|Elites]].

Brutes society is dominated by 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. There is certainly a patriarchal scheme that is followed loosely, depending on the social, martial, and sexual success of the patriarch. Patricide is an unfortunate side effect of patriarchy. No females have been observed in military roles. | Brutes society is dominated by 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.
