*As an apparent Easter Egg, hint text in the ''Halo Wars'' demo claims, "Few people know that the Arbiter's given birth name is Shirley," referring to the phrase spoken by the Arbiter, "Surely you jest!" in the first level. This Easter Egg refers to a running gag in the Naked Gun series or from the movie Airplane and from the game Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare; "Surely you're kidding!?" "I am not, and don't call me Shirley!" and "Surely, you cant be serious!?" "I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley!" | *As an apparent Easter Egg, hint text in the ''Halo Wars'' demo claims, "Few people know that the Arbiter's given birth name is Shirley," referring to the phrase spoken by the Arbiter, "Surely you jest!" in the first level.

*At the beginning of the level [[Alpha Base (Level)|Alpha Base]], he lashes out at a Zealot, telling him "''I care not for your little life!''." Later he struck a Zealot, on [[the Apex]], who was informing him the Spirit of Fire had followed them there. These are examples of his violent and arrogant behavior that led to his imprisonment and subsequently assuming the role of the Arbiter tasked to eradicate Humankind on [[Harvest]]. | *At the beginning of the level [[Alpha Base (Level)|Alpha Base]], he lashes out at a Zealot, telling him "''I care not for your little life!''."

*How his armor returned to the Covenant for the next Arbiter is still unknown, as the Shield World's sun exploded destroying the entire construct. It is possible however that the next Arbiter simply wore a new set, thus explaining the differences between the pair, i.e. the mandible guards. Also, it was said in Halo 2 that every Arbiter from first to last was interred in the Mausoleum. This is impossible for the same reason, However it could be that since the missions given to the Arbiters are suicidal not all the bodies and armor were recover and the Prophets just created the the lie of their "graves" and armor, similar to ONI's directive to list Spartan II's as MIA even when they are known to have died, to make them legends and boost morale. | *How his armor returned to the Covenant for the next Arbiter is still unknown, as the Shield World's sun exploded destroying the entire construct.

*His mandibles seem to hang like loose flaps of skin instead of closing in or opening when speaking, giving him an evil, angry, and crazed look, even more so than the [[Prophet of Truth]]. | *His mandibles seem to hang like loose flaps of skin instead of closing in or opening when speaking, giving him an evil, angry, and crazed look, even more so than the [[Prophet of Truth]]. | ||
