Behind the scenes

Based on its skull-like appearance, the War Master helmet seems to be a canonical counterpart to the Haunted helmet from Halo: Reach.

The three alternate skins for the War Master Armor all bear different famous Roman leaders and generals names, Augustan is namned after Gaius Octavianus Augustus, who was a general under Caesar and later the first emperor of the Roman Empire. Scipios were part one Romes oldest families, the Cornelia families. They had several generals and politicians in their ranks, including Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus who defeated Hannibal in the Second Punic War. The last skin is presumably namned after Tiberius one of Romes greatest generals who was adopted by Augustus, eventually becoming emperor himself. All this men were considered masters of war, or war masters in ancient Rome.
