The title was originally the greatest religious, military, and political rank of the Sangheili. After they joined the Covenant, however, the role was downplayed in importance somewhat, with the [[Sangheili Councilor|Sangheili High Councilors]] ranking higher in political matters. This would eventually change again: approximately 400 years before the Human-Covenant war, [[Fal 'Chavamee|an Arbiter]] declared he did not believe in the Great Journey and was stripped of his rank and killed. Thus the title became a brand of shame. Arbiters were sent on highly perilous and suicidal missions by the Hierarchs. On these missions, the Arbiter was expected to die and to become another great martyr of the Covenant on their path to the [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]].{{Ref/Reuse|h2arbiter}} This was seen as a way to regain, in part, their honor. Depending on the nature of his assignment an Arbiter would have either acted alone as a singular combatant, with support by [[Covenant military]] forces, or they were tasked to lead large numbers of Covenant troops.<ref name="h2journey">'''Halo 2''', campaign level, ''[[The Great Journey]]''</ref> | The title was originally the greatest religious, military, and political rank of the Sangheili.

Notable Arbiters have been appointed by the Prophets during incidents such as the Taming of the Lekgolo, the Unggoy Rebellion, the [[Human-Covenant War]], and most recently, the threat of the [[heretics]] led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]].{{Ref/Reuse|h2arbiter}}<ref name="enc138">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia | Notable Arbiters have been appointed by the Prophets during incidents such as the Taming of the Lekgolo, the Unggoy Rebellion, the [[Human-Covenant War]], and most recently, the threat of the [[heretics]] led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]].{{Ref/Reuse|h2arbiter}}<ref name="enc138">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe]]''', ''page 138''</ref> | ||
