A Field Master usually worked alone in both games. Waiting for you to kill everyone else, then they'd attack by themselves. In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], Zealot Field Masters were a fairly common sight on any difficulty, usually guarding places of importance. On average, there were probably two to three Zealots on any one level. Although, Field Masters in ''[[Halo 2]]'' were much more sneaky and only appeared on the [[Legendary]] difficulty with few exceptions.


In ''Halo 2'', during the levels [[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]] and [[Quarantine Zone (Level)|Quarantine Zone]], the player comes across a band of Elites being led by [[Rtas 'Vadumee]]. He appears to be the highest-ranking Elite there, before the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] arrives and thus probably would've held the title "Field Master".
Field Masters wear golden armor to distinguish them from other members of their rank; for example, it is impossible to tell a Zealot Field Master apart from a Zealot [[Ship Master]] based on their armor alone.
 
However, it is also true that perhaps a Zealot was present at some other location, but never featured and 'Vadumee's unit was merely a detachment of his (or perhaps 'Vadumee had a Zealot superior that was killed during the battle and thus he temporarily took over the role of Field Master).
 
The Arbiter could also be looked at as a rank that could potentially hold the title of Field Master. [[Councilor]]s, should one of them ever decide to take part in military operations, would probably also hold the title of Field Master.

==Appearance==
So far, only Zealots have been featured as Field Masters as Field Master is a Zealot rank. Although it is highly possible that an [[Ultra Elite|Ultra]] would be a Field Master when there are no Zealots.
 
In the [[Fleet of Retribution]] a [[Special Operations Elite]] or even a [[Major Elite|Major]] may have been forced to take on the role of Field Master. They have no changes in their golden armor to distinguish them from other members of their rank (for example, it is impossible to tell a Zealot Field Master apart from a Zealot [[Ship Master]] based on their armor alone). Should other ranks take on the position of Field Master, it is likely little or no changes to their armor would be made, perhaps it will never be.

Template:Covenant Rank Infobox Field Master is a very high Sangheili rank within the Covenant Army. It is one of the prestigious Zealot offices.[1] Field Masters command at least one legion of troops.[citation needed]

Rank

The Field Master is seemingly equivalent to UNSC generals and colonels. The rank also appears to be the Sangheili equivalent of the Jiralhanae chieftain.

Field Masters command entire armies of battalion strength or greater. Unlike their human analogues, Field Masters take a much more active role in combat, charging into the battle with their troops rather than giving orders from headquarters far from the conflict. They are in charge of all warriors of any race within that army, as well as all armor, air support, and matériel utilized by that army.

Field Masters wear golden armor to distinguish them from other members of their rank; for example, it is impossible to tell a Zealot Field Master apart from a Zealot Ship Master based on their armor alone.
