| | |
| The rank '''Supreme Commander''' is one of the highest [[Covenant]] [[Sangheili]] ranks. They command large [[Covenant Fleet|fleets]] and armadas. It is unknown if a Supreme Commander is higher or lower in rank compared to an [[Imperial Admiral]].
| |
| | |
| For most of the Covenant's history, this rank was held by the Elite race until the [[Great Schism]], when the [[Brutes]] got some of the higher ranks.
| |
| | |
| == Description ==
| |
| Supreme Commander is the rank which commands large Covenant fleets, such as the ''[[Fleet of Particular Justice]]'' formerly led by [[Thel 'Vadam]] before his failure change of rank to [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiter]]. Lesser fleets may be commanded by [[Fleet Master]]s, a lower rank than the Supreme Commander.
| |
| | |
| The particular Supreme Commander in the aforementioned text was a friend of, and yet superior to, [[Special Operations Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadum|Rtas 'Vadumee]] and would later become the Arbiter.
| |
| | |
| During the [[Civil War of the Covenant]], it is possible that [[Brutes]] took these positions from the [[Elites]], but none has ever been seen, as the majority of the other posts were taken over. However, some Elite Supreme Commanders may have escaped to fight the Brutes.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', level [[Uprising (Level)|Uprising]], Ending cut scene</ref>
| |
| | |
| == Appearance ==
| |
| When commanding a Fleet, Supreme Commanders were wearing purple [[armor|armour]] with a cloak that wraps around and over the armor piece of their shoulders, and a showy helmet, probably with ceremonial purpose.<ref>''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''</ref> The Supreme Commander's unusual helmet looks somewhat similar to the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Elite]] [[Sangheili Combat Harness|Combat Helmet]] when compared closely. However, when Thel 'Vadamee appears before the [[Covenant]] [[High Council]], he sports golden [[Zealot]] armor instead of purple, suggesting that the golden colour is more ceremonial than the purple.
| |
| | |
| == Trivia ==
| |
| *[[Thel 'Vadam]] is the only known Supreme Commander.
| |
| * Supreme Commander ''may'' be a type of [[Zealot]], as the term "Zealot" appears to be a blanket rank covering various positions, and Thel was in a Zealot armor suit when he was in council.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'' cutscene [[The Heretic (Level)|The Heretic]].</ref>
