The | The Councilors are masters of warfare, as befitting with their extraordinarily high rank. They normally bear a single terrible [[Energy Sword]], which they used with great effect on the campaign level ''[[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]]'' to destroy [[Brute]]s. They also infrequently are armed with single-wielded or dual-wielded [[Plasma Rifle]]s. | ||
However, they are in fact adepts with any weapon, [[United Nations Space Command]] or Covenant. They also grudgingly accept [[Brute]] weapons, although they deprecate their firearms then in disdain, probably defiling "Heretic" technology. | However, they are in fact adepts with any weapon, [[United Nations Space Command]] or Covenant.

The | The Councilors 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]].

He unlocked the cages, bringing forth two Councilors and two [[Hunter]]s. One Councilor was armed with an Energy Sword, another with a single Plasma Rifle. In the climatic battle that defeated [[Tartarus]], numerous Councilors fought with their swords against the [[Brute Chieftain]], only to fall in vain to the [[Fist of Rukt]]. | ||
