There are three Leader types for the UNSC and three for the Covenant. They can be chosen from the Leader Selection Menu for yourself or for A.I. opponents by selecting a slot on the Alpha or Bravo Team. Also a random team Leader or both random can be selected.

The three for the UNSC are Captain Cutter, Sgt.Forge, and Profesor Andres. The three for the covanant are the Arbiter, the Brute Chieftan, and the Phrophet.
