== | ==Overview== | ||
Bodyguards are responsible for the protection of their pack's [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] as well as for the enforcement of tribal law and/or military law. Whenever there is a Chieftain nearby, one can expect to encounter Jiralhanae Bodyguards, which look very similar to [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captains]].<ref name="HE145">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 145''</ref> During the [[Great Schism]], some Jiralhanae Bodyguards served as the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]]'s personal protectors | ===Roles and responsibilities=== | ||

During the [[Great Schism]], some Jiralhanae Bodyguards served as the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]]'s personal protectors,<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]''</ref> presumably replacing [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Jiralhanae Honor Guardsmen]] whom most were killed by [[John-117]] while attempting to repel the Spartan from ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' during the [[Scramble onboard Forerunner Dreadnought]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=HU|HU|Issue=[[Halo: Uprising Issue 3|#3]]}} | |||

They wear [[Jiralhanae power armor]] that is similar in appearance to the [[Jiralhanae Captain]]s, but it is colored a pale blue.{{Ref/Reuse|HE145}} Their armor comes in two variants: a more common, silver-blue (with red under-armor) variant, and a less common, silver armored (with red under-armor) variant. Jiralhanae Bodyguards seem to favor Covenant weapons such as the [[Type-25 plasma rifle]] and [[Type-51 carbine]] rather than their own native technology, but they have been seen wielding the powerful and deadly [[Type-25 Brute shot]] and the [[Type-52 mauler]]. | They wear [[Jiralhanae power armor]] that is similar in appearance to the [[Jiralhanae Captain]]s, but it is colored a pale blue.{{Ref/Reuse|HE145}} Their armor comes in two variants: a more common, silver-blue (with red under-armor) variant, and a less common, silver armored (with red under-armor) variant.{{fact}} The left shoulder pad of the armor is almost identical to the one worn by Tartarus, albeit smaller.

Bodyguards are equipped with a [[bubble shield]] for additional protection and [[regenerator]]s to heal themselves in combat, on the battlefield. Jiralhanae Bodyguards utilize [[power drain]]s to interfere with all electronic equipment and the energy shields that belong to hostile forces. | Bodyguards are equipped with a [[bubble shield]] for additional protection and [[regenerator]]s to heal themselves in combat, on the battlefield.

*An action figure was modeled after a Jiralhanae Bodyguard by [[McFarlane Toys]], the creators and manufacturers of the popular ''Halo'' action figures. It was released alongside the other figures in the sixth series. It comes with a spike grenade and a Brute Shot.<ref>[http://www.spawn.com/toys/series.aspx?series=459 '''Spawn''': ''HALO Points'']</ref> | *An action figure was modeled after a Jiralhanae Bodyguard by [[McFarlane Toys]], the creators and manufacturers of the popular ''Halo'' action figures.

*The regular Jiralhanae Captains and the typical Jiralhanae Bodyguard, look almost ''exactly'' the same (especially in dim lighting), but there are in fact slight differences in their power armor color and power. The Captain regulars have a violet tinge to the armor, but the Bodyguards have a more indigo color and their under-armor and garments are light crimson; however, in the heat of combat it's extremely difficult to differentiate between the two ranks. They replace the [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Jiralhanae Honor Guardsmen]] from ''[[Halo 2]]''. | *The regular Jiralhanae Captains and the typical Jiralhanae Bodyguard, look almost ''exactly'' the same (especially in dim lighting), but there are in fact slight differences in their power armor color and power.
