===Armor===
Those serving under the Chieftain [[Tartarus]] wore an armor set composed of a forward facing helmet, a wraparound neck brace, and upper-arm braces with flat, pronged armor plates. This set was completed with a set of bandoliers wrapping around the chest and back, and leather wrappings holding pieces of metal between the toes. This configuration was also shared with the [[Jiralhanae Captain]]s who served with them, which held a red holographic flag displaying the clan insignia mounted on the back.

When the Jiralhanae became the dominant military force of the Covenant during the events of the [[Great Schism]], Majors were given blue-colored full-body [[Jiralhanae power armor]]. The armor donned by the Majors is still basic and only offers limited protection, but it still superior compared to the armor worn by [[Jiralhanae Minor]]s.<ref name="HE145">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 145''</ref>
