|The Councilor was one of the highest positions attainable by a Sangheili. As members of the [[High Council|Covenant High Council]], they shared governance with the Lesser Prophets and answered directly to the [[Hierarchs]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[The Heretic]]''</ref> After the [[Changing of the Guard]], the Councilors were taken to Installation 05, where most were murdered by the Jiralhanae. Yet a number were saved by fellow Sangheili during the early stages of the [[Great Schism]], some of whom assisted in the fight against Tartarus. | |||

|The title of Arbiter was originally granted to the commander of the Sangheili military, and was considered a great privilege.<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[The Duel]]''</ref> However the conflict caused by [[Fal 'Chavamee]] in his refusal of the [[Covenant religion]], had led the Prophets to significantly repurpose the role. In times of an extraordinary crisis, it would be reserved for the most disgraced Sangheili and offered as a means to regain their honour through suicidal missions of great importance to the Covenant.<ref>'''Halo 2''', ''[[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]]''</ref> The armour of the Arbiter is an ancient version of the modern Sangheili combat harness, featuring primitive active camouflage which can only last for a variably short period of time. | |||

|The Ascetics are a special group of Sangheili devoted to ensuring stability and purity within their society. The Ascetic armour has been made to inflict psychological fear through the use of special elements in the design, such as the two spokes protruding from the helmet and bright, glowing orange lenses. | |||

The Supreme Commander appears to be the Covenant equivalent of the human "Commander-in-Chief". The only known Supreme Commander was Thel 'Vadamee, who commanded three fleets during the [[Fall of Reach]], while serving as fleetmaster of his own [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], which he took to [[Installation 04]]. | The Supreme Commander appears to be the Covenant equivalent of the human "Commander-in-Chief".

Ossoona, a term that translates as "Eye of the Prophets", are Sangheili who are used as special-purpose espionage agents. They are not properly equipped for heavy combat, as they are intended for information gathering on enemy weapons and military data.<ref name="Halo:The Flood p.28">'''Halo: The Flood''', ''Page 28''</ref> One of the major items of information the Ossoona were tasked with discovering was the location of Earth.<ref name="Halo:The Flood p.28"/> It is a temporary rank only granted to those who have attained at least the rank of Major, the reason being that a Minor's lack of experience could cause them to be very easily compromised or that they may abandon the mission outright in pursuit of personal glory. It is not given to Sangheili of higher rank because they are considered too valuable and would rather engage in combat.{{citation needed}} The only known Ossoona was [[Isna 'Nosolee]].<ref name="Halo:The Flood p.28"/> | Ossoona, a term that translates as "Eye of the Prophets", are Sangheili who are used as special-purpose espionage agents.

Heretic Minors were the file leaders of the heretic Unggoy. They wore brown heretic armor and wielded Covenant carbines and, occasionally, Sentinel Beams. They had superb accuracy, far superior to normal Sangheili Minors. Many were skilled Banshee pilots who flew in pairs, supplementing their effectiveness. | Heretic Minors were the file leaders of the heretic Unggoy.
