The Field Master is a lower title for Covenant Zealot Elites. Field Masters command entire armies of Legion or greater.

Rank

Zealot Field Master from Halo: Combat Evolved.

The Field Master[1] is equivalent to the UNSC Marine "General". Field Masters command entire armies, battalion strength or greater. Unlike human "Generals", Field Masters take a much more active role in combat, as in charging into the battle with their troops rather than giving orders from a HQ miles away from the conflict. They are in charge of all warriors of any race within that army, as well as all armor, air support, and material utilized by that army. An example of this is Noga 'Putumee, who led forces against the humans on Installation 04.

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

Armor

The armor of a Field Master is like all Zealots - a gold or yellow color. It's possible that Ultras can attain this position, but they would wear the white Ultra armor.
