* ''[[Prophets]]'' As the highest caste, it is the Prophets who lead the Covenant. Their higher understanding of the Forerunner gives them great egos and religious powers over the Covenant. The fact that the Covenant are religious zealots makes it all the more easy to control them.<ref name="best"/> The only known word for them in the Covenant Language is Prophet. | * ''[[Prophets]]'' As the highest caste, it is the Prophets who lead the Covenant.

* ''[[Brutes (Jiralhanae)|Brutes]]'' are the only race that has obtained equal status to that of one of the founding “clients” of the Covenant pact, the Elites. Their strength can match and even surpass that of Elites. They have an incredible natural resilience to damage that makes up for their lack of [[Energy Shields]], and use a weapon known as the [[Brute Shot]]. They are equal to Elites in battle and rank. After the Elites were replaced for failing to protect [[High Prophet of Regret|Regret]] from the [[Master Chief]], they took over their role as personal bodyguards of the Prophets. They have a hairy, ape-like appearance. They are called [[Jiralhanae]] in the Covenant language. | * ''[[Brutes (Jiralhanae)|Brutes]]'' are the newest species to the Covenant and are the only race that has obtained equal status to that of one of the founding “clients” of the Covenant pact, the Elites.

* ''[[Elites (Sangheili)|Elites]]'' serve as the military leaders for the Covenant. While Prophets often have the last say, it is the Elites who organize military campaigns and naval engagements. Ship Masters command the mighty space fleets; Field Masters command the vast armies. Elites maintain the military structure of the Covenant and ensure the Prophets' orders, as well as their own, are carried out. Elites are a much needed species for the Covenant to function, they are the only caste who can build and command the star ships and have the military know-how to ensure successful victories and keep the lesser Covenant species in order. They are called [[Sangheili]] in the Covenant language. | * ''[[Elites (Sangheili)|Elites]]'' serve as the military leaders for the Covenant.

* ''[[Hunters (Lekgolo)|Hunters]]'' work hard in their role as Covenant muscle, and never disobey orders. Hunters are dismissive and contemptuous of their foes, and in fact, they will only associate with Elites, recognizing and respecting the similar warrior mentality. Hunters are deployed almost like heavy munitions. Due to their 12 foot height, extremely strong armor and strength, and their arm mounted [[Fuel Rod Gun]], other Covenant will often clear the area of deployment, since Hunters are unconcerned with collateral damage, they may even purposely kill the lesser castes, simply for “getting in the way”. They are called [[Lekgolo]] in the Covenant Language. | * ''[[Hunters (Lekgolo)|Hunters]]'' work hard in their role as Covenant muscle, and never disobey orders.
