Rank
It is the highest rank attainable for an Elite of the Covenant, military or politically. They are members of the High Council, along with the Lesser Prophets. They share power directly under the High Prophets.
Councilors have been described as "aristocratic" by lesser races. Only one Councilor's name has ever been stated, that of Soha 'Rolamee. The structure of his name indicates that he has participated in the military. In fact, it is likely that every Councillor Elite is required to participate in the Covenant military.

Appearance
Physical
The Councilors wear large, distinct and oddly shaped crowns as ceremonial helmets. These helmets are silver mostly and also have streaks of dark gray and olive. Their crowns are reminiscent of the queen alien's head from the ALIENS series. For armor they wear white plates like Ultras.
Halo 2
The Councillors are exclusive to Halo 2, and are never seen in Halo: Combat Evolved. Their infrequence in numbers leads to their appearance being only four times throughout the entire campaign.
During the Civil War of the Covenant, many of these Elites were taken to the surface of Installation 05 (Delta Halo), where they were massacred by the traitorous Brutes. Several were imprisoned, however, and they were set free by the Arbiter and assisted him in killing Tartarus.
- Step of Silence, High Charity - Many can be seen at the judgement of the Guardian of the Luminous Key before he attains rank of Arbiter
- Gravemind - One can be seen at the Masoleum of the Arbiter, wielding an Energy Sword
- The Great Journey - The Arbiter, while invading the Control Room, passed through the bastion of the Brutes, coming across a forcefield prison. He unlocked the cages, bringing forth two Councillors and two Hunters. One Councillor was armed with an Energy Sword, another with a single Plasma Rifle. In the climatic battle that defeated Tartarus, numerous Councillors fought with their swords against the Brute Chieftain, only to fall to the Fist of Rukt.
