==Rank system==
The Heretic Sangheili have a limited rank system, consisting of:
*[[Heretic Sangheili Minor]]s
*[[Heretic Sangheili Major]]s


Heretic Elites are the [[Elite]]s of the artifact retrieval group led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]]. When [['Refumee]] discovered the truth about the [[Halo]]s, his [[Elite]]s followed him in the rebellion against the [[High Prophet]]s, knowing what the Halo's would do if they continued [[The Great Journey]]. They used the [[Gas Mine]] above [[Threshold]] as a base, and placed [[Banshee]]s and at least one [[Seraph]] starfighter as an "Air force" to defend the mine. They also set up a makeshift camp on [[Basis]], Threshold's moon.
==Equipment==
Heretic Elites do not wear helmets like their Covenant counterparts, but instead don breathing apparatus to assist in respiration on the Gas Mining facility. Heretic Elites also have four fins on the back of their armor, similar to the traditional armor seen on [[Ripa 'Moramee]]'s clan brothers in ''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]''. Sesa 'Refumee does not share these fins, but instead has a jetpack on his back nearly identical to those used by [[Sangheili Ranger|Elite Rangers]] (''Halo 2'').


This camp is a playable multiplayer map, called [[Burial Mounds]].
Heretic Elites can be found in both brown and gold armored variants, as well as the Heretic Leader's personal red-colored armor. Elite who wear gold armor are the equivalent of [[Elite Major]]s with more health and stronger shields, while those with brown armor seem similar to [[Elite Minor]]s.

Heretic Elites do not wear helmets like their Covenant counterparts, but instead don breathing apparatus to assist in respiration on the Gas Mining facility. Heretic Elites also have four ridges on the back of their armor, which presumably contain breathable oxygen. The Heretic Leader Sesa 'Refumee does not share these ridges, but instead has a Jet pack on his back that presumably also contains a store of oxygen in it.
 
Heretic Elites can be found in both Brown and Gold armored variants, as well as the Heretic Leader's personal red-colored armor. Elites who wear gold armor are the equivalent of a [[Major Domo Elite|Elite Major]]s with more health and stronger shields, while those with brown armor seem similar to [[Minor Domo Elite|Elite Minor]]s.
 
They are only seen in two levels: [[The Arbiter]] and [[Oracle]].
 
== Combat ==
[[Image:HereticEliteCarbine03.jpg|right|thumb|186px|Heretic with [[Carbine]].]]
They mostly use [[Carbine]]s, [[Sentinel Beam]]s, and also [[Energy Sword]]s, but are never seen using [[plasma grenades]]. [[Plasma Rifle]]s are only used by Heretic Banshee pilots and the Heretic leader. This is probably because the Heretics want to stand out from all other Covenant to show that they do not have anything in common with all Elites who have faith in the [[Great Journey]].  
 
The energy shields of the gold Heretics are as strong as a Major Domo's, while the energy shields of the brown ones are as strong as a Minor Domo's. Note that their shields glow purple instead of the blue that Covenant-loyal Elites use.

*In the level [[The Oracle (Level)|The Oracle]] there is an [[Elite]] using a [[Needler]], which is odd because they use [[Carbine]]s and [[Energy Sword]]s mostly, this is the only Heretic Elite seen using a Needler and note he only appears a few times, not always.

Although most lines of outside communications had been severed by 'Refumee when he came into contact with the Oracle, one Heretic Sangheili, Kola 'Baoth's brother, succeeded in sending out scattered messages that detailed newly encountered truths.[4] Most, if not all, Heretics on the gas mine perished when the newly appointed Arbiter Thel 'Vadamee assaulted the facility and plunged it down into the gas giant.[2]

Sesa 'Refumee does not share these fins, but instead has a jetpack on his back nearly identical to those used by Elite Rangers (Halo 2).
