Amongst the Covenant, [[John-117]], otherwise known as the Master Chief, the SPARTANs' ''de facto'' commander gained the title of The Demon from the Covenant, setting him aside from the rest of the SPARTANs. This came from his destruction of [[Installation 04]]. According to [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], this was done as an insult but also with a modicum of respect, showing that even the Covenant, while fearing and insulting their most hated enemy, also had a level of respect for him and his skills as well. Indeed, 'Vadam himself displayed a level of respect for the Master Chief after the events of ''[[Halo 2]]'': while they came close to fighting at the beginning of ''[[Halo 3]]'' and didn't like each other, Thel worked side by side with his old enemy. Thel trusted the Master Chief and vice versa by the time of the death of the [[Prophet of Truth]] to fight back to back with him against the [[Flood]]. Thel continued to refer to him as the Demon even while fighting with him, but showed more respect later, changing to calling him "Spartan" instead. Thel would later state to [[Jameson Locke]] that he had come to see the Master Chief as both his ally and his friend while working together. | Amongst the Covenant, [[John-117]], otherwise known as the Master Chief, the SPARTANs' ''de facto'' commander gained the title of The Demon from the Covenant, setting him aside from the rest of the SPARTANs.

Even after the Covenant War's conclusion, the nickname "demon" remains emblazoned on the SPARTAN operatives. [[Atriox]], leader of the [[Banished]], condescendingly referred to the members of [[Red Team]] as "little demons" after he single-handedly defeated [[Douglas-042]], forcing [[Alice-130]] and [[Jerome-092]] to retreat, though without the religious undertone.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Signal]]''</ref> | Even after the Covenant War's conclusion, the nickname "demon" remains emblazoned on the SPARTAN operatives.
