| A '''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 of the Covenant|protectors]] of the [[Hierarchs]] after the murder of the [[High Prophet of Regret]]. This "[[Changing of the Guard]]" was the beginning of the [[Civil War of the Covenant]] or [[Great Schism]], as the Elites were incensed that their role of protecting the [[Prophets]], which they had faithfully executed for millennium, 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 cut-scene 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 the Gravemind level.

| ==Combat==

| |
| Brute Honour Guards, fight with their own weapons, which include the [[Brute Plasma Rifle]], the [[Brute Shot]] and sometimes the [[Covenant Carbine]]. They can also use the [[Shotgun]]. They always work in pairs/packs of two-three Brutes and will go berserk when all but one are killed. Like their Elite counterparts, Brute Honor Guards cannot receive [[headshots]] due to the fact that they wear the Honor Guard helmet. The best way to kill these Brutes is to [[dual-wield]] [[Plasma Rifle]]s, barrage them with [[Needler]] fire, use the Carbine or the [[Beam Rifle]], or simply kill them with a [[Plasma Grenade]], as they are somewhat slow. [[Fuel Rod Cannon]]s and Brute Shots are also effective.

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

| | |
| ==Appearances==
| |
| The Brute Honor Guards were first encountered in the levels Gravemind, High Charity and The Great Journey in ''[[Halo 2]]'', guarding the [[High Prophet of Truth]] and the [[High Prophet of Mercy]], although they were first seen in the opening cut-scene of the level [[Sacred Icon]]. They also briefly appear in ''[[Halo: Uprising]]'', again guarding the High Prophet of Truth onboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]]. However, it should be noted that the Brute Honor Guard does not appear in ''[[Halo 3]]''; they appear to have been turned into the [[Brute Bodyguard]], though this is only speculation.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Brute Honor Guards in ''Halo 2'' look the closest to their ''Halo 3'' companions, because they are actually wearing armor, although the armor appears different.
| |
| *They only appear in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo: Uprising''.
