'''Oracle Master''' is a [[Covenant]] [[Sangheili]] title. It is not given to members of the Covenant military and thus is currently among the only known "[[civilian]]" titles for Sangheili.
 
==Description==
Oracle Master is an office of duty amidst the Covenant [[High Council]]; customarily, a Sangheili particularly knowledgeable in religious and political affairs is made the personal adviser of a [[High Prophet|Hierarch]] or a high-ranking military official. Oracle Masters also serve aboard ships,<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'''</ref> serving as data gatherers, advisors/mentors, and religious leaders.
 
It is known that an Oracle Master served as adviser to high ranked officials including the [[Prophet of Regret]], [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]], and aboard other vessels in the Sangheili fleet.<ref>Reverence-class ''[[Incorruptible]]''</ref>
 
The only known Oracle Master, [[Parala 'Ahrmonro]], is described as old, but fiercely intelligent. Beyond that, little else is known about the rank, or the Elite who holds it.
