The Arbiter here is not the same being as Thel 'Vadam, who is a deuteragonist in ''Halo 2'', but rather an amalgamation of themes and traits of other Arbiters (including Thel's armor, weaponry, and some of his speech mannerisms).<ref>http://forums.ultra-combo.com/t/the-arbiter-s-trailer/5091/214 rukizzel | The Arbiter here is not the same being as Thel 'Vadam, who is a deuteragonist in ''Halo 2'', but rather an amalgamation of themes and traits of other Arbiters (including Thel's armor, weaponry, and some of his speech mannerisms).<ref>[http://forums.ultra-combo.com/t/the-arbiter-s-trailer/5091/214 '''Killer Instinct Forums''': ''rukizzel explains who this Arbiter is'']</ref> | ||
Arbiter is a member of the Sangheili alien race, somewhat reptilian-esque creatures who tower over humans with their large height and armored flesh. As a Sangheili, he possesses scaly, dark brown skin, piercing, yellow eyes, four, mandible-like lips around his mouth, two fingers and two thumbs on each hand (similar to [[Glacius]]' race), and somewhat-small legs that are always bent at the knees. He is equipped with a custom brown, grey, and gold suit of battle armor known as the Kaidon armor with an ornate helmet and one sleeveless arm, and most often wields a customized Energy Sword known as "Prophet's Bane", a Type-51 Carbine, and a set of Plasma Grenades - traditional weaponry for the Arbiters of the Covenant. | Arbiter is a member of the Sangheili alien race, somewhat reptilian-esque creatures who tower over humans with their large height and armored flesh.
