Template:Character Infobox The Jiralhanae Army Commander^[1] was a high ranking Jiralhanae Chieftain. Possessing uncanny intelligence that complimented his violent nature, he was a dangerous foe despite his relatively small stature.^[2]^[3]

Biography

This Army Commander served alongside Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee under the Prophet of Regret during the Harvest Campaign, although he, as with virtually all Jiralhanae, possess a strong dislike of the Sangheili in general and 'Moramee in particular.^[4]^[5] Compared to other Jiralhanae, the Commander was somewhat shorter than normal, but was still a quite capable master tactician. In battle, he wielded a gravity hammer and wore very resilient power armor.

During the campaign on Harvest, he grew to respect humans for their different nature and unfailing courage in the worst of situations, but he passionately disliked Ripa 'Moramee.^[1] He enjoys eating thorn beast, which he prefers to be cooked rare, as well as hearing exaggerated tales of his adventures, told by an overweight Unggoy who serves as his official scribe. In 2528, the Army Commander tore apart two Unggoy because his thorn beast was overcooked. The Unggoy were subsequently discovered as five organic chunks strewn about his quarters.

Later, in 2552, the army commander was present at Installation 05. During this time, he led some Jiralhanae murder some Sangheili Councilors.^[4]

In-game information

Leader ability - Vortex

When activated, a spiraling vortex appears, tearing everything apart in range and explodes when canceled, causing additional damage.

Trivia

The Army Commander was voiced by Marc Worden.
He is the only playable hero unit in the game who does not appear in the game's campaign, and is also the only leader character who remains unnamed.
His Limited Edition leader card is the only leader card that has an image from any game besides Halo Wars: a picture of a Brute Chopper on the Halo 3 multiplayer map Sandtrap is used for illustration.
The armor worn by a Jiralhanae chieftain in the Halo Legends episode The Babysitter is almost identical to the Army Commander's, though it is blue rather than red.
In one of the Terminals of Halo 2: Anniversary, a Jiralhanae is seen wearing the same armor as the Army Commander. It's unclear if it's the same character.
