Elites consider most other species of the [[Covenant]] to be inferior and weak to them in martial skills and leadership qualities (though with the possible exception of the Prophets before the [[Great Schism]]). They were the most refined warriors the Covenant had, and though they are not as abundant as the other species, they were very intelligent, the most dependable, and had the highest sense of honor in the battlefield, often going as far as showing respect to enemies, as shown by Fleet Master Voro Nar 'Mantakree towards [[Kurt Ambrose]]. Because of this, the Prophets have chosen the Elites, and no others, to be on the [[High Council]] with them; to help them rule and maintain order in the Covenant. Prior to becoming part of the Covenant, the Elites were masters with weapons such as spears, but they are even more skilled with the Covenant Energy Sword. They are trained for combat at a very young age. | Elites consider most other species of the [[Covenant]] to be inferior and weak to them in martial skills and leadership qualities (though with the possible exception of the Prophets before the [[Great Schism]]).

During the events of ''[[Halo 2]]'', the political shift caused by both the [[Prophet of Truth]] and the [[Brute Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]], started a slippery slope that ended in the [[Great Schism|dissolution]] of the Covenant between the Elites and the Prophets. Originally, Brutes were viewed as savage and extremely goal-oriented, which the Elites viewed as a severe threat should the Brutes ever begin to desire political power. This fear became reality when the [[Honor Guards]] of the Prophets, originally an all-Elite class, was [[Changing of the Guard|transformed]] into a duty of the [[Brute Honor Guard|Brutes]]. This was in part caused by the death of the [[Prophet of Regret]], despite his protection from his [[Elite Honor Guards]]. Soon Brutes found themselves in new positions of power, such as Field Masters, Ship Masters, and veritable replacements for the Elites. This caused the Great Schism, and the start of the Covenant Civil War. | During the events of ''[[Halo 2]]'', the political shift caused by both the [[Prophet of Truth]] and the [[Brute Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]], started a slippery slope that ended in the [[Great Schism|dissolution]] of the Covenant between the Elites and the Prophets.
