Their home world is war-torn, and Brutes are known for their particular joy in vicious activities, complimented by regimented discipline. | ||
As part of the Covenant, Brutes were required as a prerequisite to convert to the Prophets' religion of worshiping the [[Forerunner]]s. Previously, their culture revolved around the worship of totems and idols, but they made swift converts.<ref name="Halo 3 Bestiarum"/> The Brutes are now the most fanatical adherents to the Prophet's faith, although they seem to hold little concept of sanctity, evidenced by Tartarus' handling of the [[343 Guilty Spark|"Oracle"]]. | As part of the Covenant, Brutes were required as a prerequisite to convert to the Prophets' religion of worshiping the [[Forerunner]]s.

They prefer using weapons from their [[Doisac|homeworld]], rather than the Covenant standard-issue [[plasma]]-based firearms. Brute weapons are notable for being extremely dangerous, somewhat primitive and brutal, and always featuring a blade attachment such as the [[Spiker]], [[Mauler]], [[Brute Shot]], and the [[Gravity Hammer]]. These weapons show their barbaric nature, for example, the fact that all of the weapons are named after ways of injury or causing bodily harm to another being. Although they do have their own type of [[Brute Plasma Rifle|Plasma Rifle]], it is only found in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' (the rifle is red, but fires twice as fast as its blue counterpart, also causing it to overheat twice as fast). This type of Plasma Rifle was removed in ''Halo 3'', being replaced by the Spiker. | They prefer using weapons from their [[Doisac|homeworld]], rather than the Covenant standard-issue [[plasma]]-based firearms.

In general, Brutes have a pronounced dislike of the [[Sangheili]], due to the fact that they believe that they are better protectors of the Prophets than the [[Sangheili|Elites]]. The [[Prophet of Truth]] took advantage of this to ignite the [[Great Schism]] during the events of ''[[Halo 2]]''. However, it appears that at least some Jiralhanae are willing to serve the Sangheili after the end of the war. | In general, Brutes have a pronounced dislike of the [[Sangheili]], due to the fact that they believe that they are better protectors of the Prophets than the [[Sangheili|Elites]].
