As far as I know, the name Zealot is only mentioned in the game once, in the Halo 2 Level Uprising. If there are more occurrances can someone please let me know? I just wanted to mention that Zealot should not be the honorific title used to describe this class of elite. Ship Master/Fleet Master/Field Master should be the official name, while Zealot is more like a description of an attitude. Halo the Cole Protocol and Page 126 of the Halo Encyclopedia describe that not just the Gold coloured elites are referred to as Zealots. The Cole Protocol describes a group of Spec Ops Elites that are referred to as zealots, and the Halo Encyclopedia refers to Honour Guards, Spec Ops Elites and Stealth Elites as zealots. To quote the Halo Encyclopedia a Zealot is: | As far as I know, the name Zealot is only mentioned in the game once, in the Halo 2 Level Uprising.

"Less of a rank than a philosophy, Zealots are by far the most ruthless fundamentalists within the Covenant military. Though most Elite males are trained to kill as soon as they can properly hold a weapon, future zealots seem to be born with the desire to kill." | |||
You can tell me I'm wrong, but I feel that according to the sources from both the Halo Encyclopedia and the Cole Protocol, that the term zealot should no longer refer to Gold Elites specifically, but to all fundamentalist elites within the military, specifically those willing to forgo traditional honoured battlefield roles such as Honour Guardsmen, Spec Ops Elites and Stealth Elites. | You can tell me I'm wrong, but I feel that according to the sources from both the Halo Encyclopedia and the Cole Protocol, that the term zealot should no longer refer to Gold Elites specifically, but to all fundamentalist elites within the military, specifically those willing to forgo traditional honoured battlefield roles such as Honour Guardsmen, Spec Ops Elites and Stealth Elites. | ||
