==Description==

Lights of Sanghelios sport the same ornate armor as the ~~rest of the~~ Honor ~~Guard~~, with the exception being that the base armor they wear is white instead of crimson red. This color is consistent with the [[Sangheili Ultra]]s of the regular Covenant army, hence their title.

Lights of Sanghelios sport the same ornate armor as the regular Sangheili Honor Guardmen, with the exception being that the base armor they wear is white instead of crimson red. This color is consistent with the [[Sangheili Ultra]]s of the regular Covenant army, hence their title.

The Lights of Sanghelios are likely more skilled than their subordinates, with many years of experience in the Covenant Honor Guard services, which is particularly impressive considering the prodigious combat abilities of any in the Honor Guard. Because of their skill in close combat and rank over the rest of the Sangheili, they were likely killed first at the start of the [[Great Schism]], similar to what happened to the [[Councilor]]s.
