Jiralhanae: Difference between revisions

The '''Jiralhanae'''<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], page 192 - "Jiralhanae: the Elite name for the Brute race".</ref>are a race of warriors and commanders in the unified conglomerate races of the [[Covenant]]. The humans have termed such warriors '''Brutes''', presumably because of their ferocity in battle. However, the first instance of the name was when Cortana said that it was the term used to refer to them on the Covenant battlenet. Thus, the Covenant who were broadcasting on the battlenet (most probably elites) also called them brutes.

The Brutes are the newest race of the [[Covenant]] and have high aspirations. They became the [[Honor Guards]] of the [[Prophets]] after the [[High Prophet of Regret]] was slain by the [[Master Chief]], resulting in the removal of the [[Elite]]s from this traditional role, and protect the Prophets fiercely. They first appeared in the [[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon level]], but the only ones seen here are dead bodies. The first level you encounter them alive is [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]].
