| The '''Brute Bodyguard''' is a [[Brutes|Brute (Jiralhanae)]] specialty [[rank]].<ref>http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsCampaignHalo3.aspx?gameid=27585757&player=Kyle%20the%20Irish</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Description==
| |
| Bodyguards are responsible for the protection of their pack's [[Brute Chieftain|Chieftain]] as well as for the enforcement of tribal law. Whenever there is a Chieftain nearby, you will encounter Brute Bodyguards, which look very similar to [[Brute Captain|Captain]]s. Bodyguard Brutes are also seen protecting [[High Prophet of Truth|Truth]] on the level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]].
| |
| | |
| They are likely the replacement for the [[Honor Guard]] being that [[Tartarus]] also had Honor Guard protection. Brute bodyguards seem to favor Covenant weapons such as the [[Plasma Rifle]] and [[Carbine]] rather than their own native technology, but they have been seen wielding the powerful and deadly [[Brute Shot]] and the [[Mauler]]. They come in two variants: A more common, silvery-blue<ref>http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsCampaignHalo3.aspx?gameid=27585757&player=Kyle%20the%20Irish</ref> (with red under-armor) variant, and a less common, silver armored (with red under-armor) variant. Whether these variants signify differences in behavior or strength is unknown as of yet. They are first seen in [[Sierra 117]].

| == Combat ==
| |
| Brute Bodyguards are usually seen wielding [[Plasma Rifle]]s, [[Brute Spiker]]s, [[Covenant Carbine]]s, and occasionally [[Brute Shots]]. Brute Bodyguards light, pale blue [[Power Armor]] is about the same strength as a [[Brute Major|Major Brute's]].
| |
| | |
| Brute Bodyguards can quickly dispatch the [[Master Chief|player]]'s shield with Plasma Rifles, and Maulers if shields are low. Their Power Armor is highly susceptible to plasma-based weaponry, with the Plasma Rifle and the Plasma Pistol's overcharge shot greatly exemplifying this. As with other Power Armor, once disabled, its shielding will not recharge. With their helmets removed, any headshot will the quickly eliminate the Bodyguard.
| |
| | |
| == Notes ==
| |
| The [[Brute Captain Ultra]]s and the typical Brute Bodyguard, look almost ''exactly'' the same (especially in dim lighting), but there are in fact slight differences in their [[Power Armor]] color and power. The [[Brute Captain]] Regulars have a violet tinge to the armor, but the Bodyguards have a more indigo color and their under-armor and garments are light crimson; however, in the heat of combat it's extremely difficult to differentiate between the two ranks. They replace the [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Brute Honor Guards]], from ''[[Halo 2]]''.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Bodyguard Brutes in ''Halo 3'' may all be the rank of Captain, so other Bodyguard ranks, such as minor or major, could exist.
| |
| *They appear to be common in Halo 3: ODST.
