:::::The way I've looked at this conundrum without receiving clarification from Bungie is simple: The General rank is the standard infantry commander of ground forces while the default Zealot rank is the equivalent of very special infantry. A Zealot will take command when it appears but is not part of the regular command structure of the Covenant (from Reach onward that is). You'll also notice that a General is never seen in the same location as a Zealot nor commanding one, only the Field Marshall is seen in that role (and is referred to as the Zealot Commander by Bungie). In much the same way, the Field Marshall is both the commander of Zealot infantry and supersedes the General rank in commanding ground forces when present. The reason the Zealot is so special is because of their status in the Covenant and their usage as the equivalent of a SPARTAN when fielded (after all, Spartans are lower than even a UNSC Captain in rank). None of this is canon and merely my take on the issue, feel free to ignore it.

== Zealots and their apperance in Halo: Reach == | |||
I Believe that the Marooned colored zealots that appear in Halo: Reach are in fact A special 'spec-ops' zealot. The reasons behind this belief is that During the first cut scene where they are encountered in the reach campaign they are seen decloaking as the drop down from above Jorge. Secondly, the fact that they are only seen preform missions of Intelligence gathering with the recovering of the Visigrad dig site information, and the retrieval of the 'package'(Cortana) from Noble six at the end of the mission "pillar of Autumn". Also the presence of the gold General class in the game that fits with the previously defined role of zealot as seen in past games. | |||
