The [[Silent Shadow]] was a division of special operations Sangheili within the Covenant's Special Operations branch. It was made up of several individual squads. Each squad led by it's own 1st Blade officer. These Sangheili are nearly always recognizable through their use of a unique and advanced combat harness that often incorporated experimental technology and weaponry.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/brute-force '''Halo Waypoint''' ''- Community Update: Brute Force'']</ref> The Silent Shadow undertook numerous missions during the Covenant War, including assassinations and extractions. During [[Mission to an unidentified moon|UNSC-Covenant struggle on unidentified moon]] one of the Silent Shadow squads slew two [[SPARTAN-III]] [[Headhunter]] teams.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters pages 188-192''</ref> After the Covenant's betrayal of the Sangheili and the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]], the squad led by 1st Blade officer [[Resa 'Azavayl]] became dedicated to eliminating all [[Jiralhanae]], as well as any forces under their control, that they encountered. Their most recent target was ex-Covenant military leader [[Atriox]], now commander of the [[Banished]] and one of most prominent enemies of the Covenant.<ref name="tfs">'''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]''', ''[[Hunting Party]]''</ref> | |||
