Each pack is led by a prominent [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftain]] that wields a ceremonial [[gravity hammer]], passed from one leader to another upon his death, to denote his status. A Jiralhanae becomes a pack chieftain by challenging the current chieftain to a mortal duel; the victor claims the title after executing the other. The chieftain rules his pack like his own little empire. An individual's rank is measured by success on ''and'' off the battlefield, unlike the Sangheili.<ref name="BES"/> Interactions among the Jiralhanae are dominated by personal status, which they display through decoration and ornate armor.<ref name="ENC143"/> | Each pack is led by a prominent [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftain]] that wields a ceremonial [[gravity hammer]], passed from one leader to another upon his death, to denote his status.
