Covenant Elite

The Covenant Elite (also known as Sangheili, the Covenant name for the race) is a fictional race in the video games Halo and Halo 2. One of the oldest and most faithful races of the Covenant Armada, the Covenant Elite is an alien ground troop that usually wields Plasma Rifles, Carbines, Beam Rifles, Fuel Rod Cannons, Needlers, or Energy Swords.

Elites are the generals of the Covenant military, the longtime guards of the Prophets and the first of the races to join the Prophets in the Covenant. They stand 8' tall, although they hunch over slightly in combat, which makes them appear closer to human size. They are physically strong and capable of coordinating their units with brilliant battle tactics. They also wear armor, with the color indicating rank, and use a shielding system similar to that of the Master Chief's MJOLNIR armor. In the actual game, an Elite without shields can survive about the same amount of damage as an average human marine.
