The brutes are described in the VIDoc as "The barbarians of Rome." due to their, ironically, brutish behaviour.

This is also reflected both in their names, and the fact that on the Halo 3 forum, Frankie nicknamed the weekly update thread about this VIdoc "Et tu Brutus." This also relates back to Rome, as when Julius Caesar died, his last words were "And you, Brutus." Frankie simply translated it into French.

They seem to prefer to use a weapon called the [[Brute Shot]] that fires high-velocity [[grenade]]s and has a long blade on the underside of it, which they use for melee attacks in close range. They have their own version of the [[Plasma Rifle]] as well. The Brute Plasma Rifle is red (rather than blue), fires red bolts of plasma, and fires at twice the normal rate of fire. All of these advantages are offset by the Brute Plasma Rifles tendency to overheat much faster. | They seem to prefer to use a weapon called the [[Brute Shot]] that fires high-velocity [[grenade]]s and has a long blade on the underside of it, which they use for melee attacks in close range.
