| '''Brute Honor Guard''' is a [[Covenant]] [[Jiralhanae]] (Brute) rank.
| |
| ==Introduction==
| |
| The Brute Honor Guards took the place of the [[Elite]]s as the [[Honor Guard|protectors]] of the [[High Prophets]] after the [[Regret (Level)|murder of the]] [[High Prophet of Regret]]. This "[[Changing of the Guard]]" was the beginning of the [[Civil War of the Covenant]], as the Elites were incensed that their role of protecting the Prophets, which they had faithfully executed for millenia, had been now delegated by these new upstarts and genetic rivals.
| |
| | |
| They are found on the levels: [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]], [[High Charity (Level)|High Charity]], and [[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]], and make their first appearances during the starting cutscene of the level Sacred Icon where they take the [[Honor Guard Pike]]s and [[armor]] of the [[Elite Honor Guard]]s. They are also the first Brute rank to be encountered alive by the player at the start of Gravemind.

| ==Combat==

| |
| Brute Honor Guards fight with their own weapons, the [[Brute Plasma Rifle]] and the [[Brute Shot]] and sometimes the [[Covenant Carbine]]. They always work in pairs of 2-3 Brutes and will go berserk when all but one are killed. Unlike their Elite counterparts, Brute Honor Guards cannot receive [[headshots]] due to the fact that they both wear the same Honor Guard helmet. However, if you fire at their head with a Covenant Carbine, [[M6C Magnum]] , or [[Battle Rifle]] you can see their 'normal helmet' fall off. The best way to kill these Brutes is to [[dual-wield]] (Brute) [[Plasma Rifle]]s or to fire a full clip of a [[Needler]], use the M6C Magnum, or the Brute Shot. Or simply stick them with a [[Plasma Grenade]], as they are some what slow. [[Fuel Rod Cannon]]s, and Brute Shots are effective, but are not as effective as any of the other weapons mentioned before.

| | |
| ==Physiology==
| |
| Brute Honor Guards wear the same armor as the Elite Honor Guards but with slightly different 'plates'. These 'plates' have a yellow and red alternating pattern, bordered by black. This yellow/red alternating pattern is also seen on the thrones of High Prophets. The helmet has been upgraded and made larger because Brutes have bigger heads than Elites and also have a yellow/red alternating pattern. They also have a red flag mounted on their shoulder.

| == Honor Guard Captain ==
| |
| | |
| There is much speculation on the Honor Guard Captain and even though it hasn’t been officially confirmed that the Honor Guard Captain even exists it is highly likely.
| |
| : Firstly in the cut scene at the beginning of the level [[Sacred Icon (Level) |Sacred Icon]] a Honor Guard Elite is seen handing over his helmet to a Brute. This brute is presumably in line to become an honor guard captain.
| |
| : Secondly seeing that the elite honor guard cast were replaced with the brutes it should be a safe bet to say that there are honour guard captains to control small groups of lesser honor guards in the same way the honour guard ultras command smaller units of [[Elite Honor Guard]]
| |
| | |
| And although the Honor Guard captain hasn’t been seen you would think that they were white armor to match their [[Honor Guard Ultra|counter parts]]
| |
| | |
| It should be noted that this entire section is speculation although it’s based on the facts mentioned above and is possible that they will be seen in a future game or novel.
