*''[[Jiralhanae|Brutes]]'' are the newest species to the Covenant and are the only race that has obtained equal status to that of one of the founding "clients" of the Covenant pact, the Elites. Their strength can match and even surpass that of Elites. They have an incredible natural resilience to damage that makes up for their lack of [[Energy Shields]] (be it noted that they later get power armor), and use a number of [[Brute Sandbox| weapons and vehicles]] based upon their pre-Covenant technology. Brutes have their own ranks going up to Brute Chieftains who usually wield [[Type-52 Automatic Plasma Cannon|Plasma Cannons]], [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|Fuel Rod Cannons]], or [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammers]]. The Brutes always work in a pack when possible. Brutes are unlike Elites in that they do not have an aversion to using human weapons, as shown in the books and Halo 2. After the Elites were replaced for failing to protect [[High Prophet of Regret|Regret]] from the [[John-117|Demon]], they took over their role as personal bodyguards of the Prophets and also now make up most of the covenant army. They have a hairy, ape-like appearance with rough, rhino-like skin. They are called '''Jiralhanae''' in the Covenant language. | *''[[Jiralhanae|Brutes]]'' are the newest species to the Covenant and are the only race that has obtained equal status to that of one of the founding "clients" of the Covenant pact, the Elites.

*''[[Sangheili|Elites]]'' served as the military leaders for the Covenant. While Prophets often had the last say, it was the Elites who organized military campaigns and naval engagements. Ship Masters commanded the mighty space fleets; [[Field Masters]] command the vast armies. Elites maintained the military structure of the Covenant, and ensured the Prophet's orders, as well as their own, were carried out. Elites were a major component of the Covenant, and were the only caste able to maintain the military hierarchy and have a voice within the High Council. As the Prophets and Brutes attempted genocide of the Elites, they have left the Covenant and allied with the UNSC. They are called '''Sangheili''' in the Covenant language. | *''[[Sangheili|Elites]]'' served as the military leaders for the Covenant.
