A Brute Pack lead by a Chieftain.

"The pack will feast on you!"
— Brute Chieftain to John-117

A pack is a small tribal and military group of Jiralhanae led by a pack leader, usually a Captain or Captain Major. Each member of a pack is hand-picked by its leader.[1] Packs are organized under Master-packs.[2]

Prior to the Great Schism, Covenant infantry were grouped into lances, each led by a Minor or Major Sangheili.[3] After the Sangheili left the Covenant and the Jiralhanae assumed their former places, the packs traditional to the Jiralhanae's tribal society became the most prominent infantry unit.[4]

Types

The lowest order of packs are comprised of four or five Unggoy, occasionally with two or three Kig-Yar added, normally led by Jiralhanae Minors, Majors, Ultras and lower-ranked Captains in battle. A Unggoy Heavy will sometimes be present to set up or man a Type-52 plasma cannon or to operate a Shade turret for heavy suppression.[5][citation needed]

Higher than that are all-Jiralhanae packs, led almost exclusively by higher-ranked Captains. These are mostly comprised of Minors and lower-ranked Captains, and are usually considerably larger than a mixed-race pack.[6]

At the highest echelons of the Jiralhanae pack structure are smaller packs led by Chieftains. These are usually comprised of Bodyguards and/or Stalkers, and may include lesser races, such as Ultra Grunts.[7]
