The Arbiter isn't higher in rank than the [[Councillor]]s. Who ever changed that is wrong, the rank of Arbiter is only a temporary state. Elites would need leaders that didn't die quite so often as the Arbiters do. Besides, the fact that the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]]s gave it to the disgraced [[Zealot]] would mean it's more of a punishments than a honor. --[[User:Donut THX 1138|Shch 'Nodotee]] 19:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC) | The Arbiter isn't higher in rank than the [[Councillor]]s.

::Well... It is a punishment. The Arbiter is a suicidal hit man. He is meant to complete any task he is givin, with no respect to survival. "these are my elites, thier lives matter to me, yours does not." And he isn't above the councilors, he is bellow the Grunts in the military stand. What the Arbiter is, is a nobal man of sorts, he is seen as a demi god because he is willing to fight to his death,and in the elites' eyes this is a very honorable way to die. So in the Covenant religion, the Arbiter is an honorable position, but in the covenant military, he is cannon fodder.--[[User:Lt.O'Brien|Lt.O'Brien]] 04:29, 1 April 2007 (UTC) | ::Well...

:Bungie never hinted it. We were just left to think it was him. But the Supreme Commander used the [[Seeker of Truth]] as his flagship, not the [[Ascendant Justice]].

I don't like the prospect of the Arbiter. When Ripa 'Moramee died, his body got thrown into an abyss. So how did it get recovered for Thel 'Vadamee to use in H2 and H3?

One of two things occurred. Either, in game, the Prophets created or already have additional armor for such instances. Or, out of game, Ensemble screwed up. More likely is the in game one. Also, no one seems to point out the apparent height and other such dimension differences between the Rippa and Thel.

I think it's a mix of both: Ensemble goofed (they didn't care to follow ''every'' ounce of canon), and so Bungie will cover by stating what you said --[[ | I think it's a mix of both: Ensemble goofed (they didn't care to follow ''every'' ounce of canon), and so Bungie will cover by stating what you said --[[halowikia:User:Lordofmonsterisland|Lord of SPARTANs]]<sub>[[wikia:User:Lordofmonsterisland|<font color="green">LOMI HQ</font>]]</sub><sup>[[User talk:Lordofmonsterisland|<font color=#33FFFF>I here your cries</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Lordofmonsterisland|<font color=#CC3333>May your works be honorable</font>]]</sub><br />21:51, 3 May 2009 (UTC) | ||
