Up until the changing of the guard, seen before the level [[The Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]] in [[Halo 2]], these Elites were the personal bodyguards of the [[High Prophets|Prophet Hierarch]]s. They were replaced when the [[Brute]]s took over, just before the [[Civil War of the Covenant]]. Honor Guard Elites' armor could take as much damage as that of an [[Major Domo Elite|Elite Major]]. They fought usually with [[Energy Swords]] and occasionally have [[Plasma Rifles]], double [[Plasma Rifle]]s and [[Carbines]]. They also wield the ceremonial [[Honor Guard Pike]] that match their armor (only in cutscenes).

It seems that once the Covenant Civil War began Guards took back their armor as some Elite Honor Guards can be seen fighting [[Brute]]s in the level Gravemind. It is either that or some of the elites refused and went into hiding until the civil war began. It is also mentioned in ghosts of onyx that the ship masters have guards and these could be honor guards those this is EXTREMELY unlikley but is still possible. | ||
Since the [[Flood]] have taken over [[High Charity]], it is currently unknown if any Honor Guard lives anymore.
