Elites consider most of the other species of the [[Covenant]] to be inferior to them in martial skills and leadership qualities (though with the possible exception of the Prophets before the [[Great Schism]]). They were the most refined warriors the [[Covenant]] had, and though they are not as abundant as the other species, they are the considerably intelligent, the most dependable, and have the highest sense of honor in the battlefield. Because of this, the [[Prophet]]s have chosen the Elites, and no others, to be on the [[High Council]] with them; to help them rule and maintain order in the [[Covenant]]. Prior to becoming part of the [[Covenant]], the Elites were masters with weapons such as spears, but they are even more skilled with the [[Covenant]] [[Energy Sword]]. | |||
During the events of [[Halo 2]], the political shift caused by both the [[Prophet of Truth]] and the [[Brute Chieftain]], [[Tartarus]], started a slippery slope that ended in the [[Great Schism|dissolution]] of the [[Covenant]] between the Elites and the [[Prophets]]. Originally, [[Brute]]s were viewed as savage and extremely goal-oriented, which the Elites viewed as a severe threat should the [[Brute]]s ever begin to desire political power. This fear became reality when the [[Honor Guards]] of the [[Prophets]], originally an all-Elite class, was [[Changing of the Guard|transformed]] into a duty of the [[Brute Honor Guard|Brutes]]. This was in part caused by the death of the [[Prophet of Regret]], despite his protection from his [[Elite Honor Guards]]. Soon [[Brute]]s found themselves in new positions of power only dreamed of before, as Field Masters, Ship Masters, and veritable replacements for the Elites. This caused the [[Great Schism]], the start of the [[Covenant Civil War]]. | During the events of [[Halo 2]], the political shift caused by both the [[Prophet of Truth]] and the [[Brute Chieftain]], [[Tartarus]], started a slippery slope that ended in the [[Great Schism|dissolution]] of the [[Covenant]] between the Elites and the [[Prophets]].
