{{Ratings}}

'''Aristocrats''' are the higher members of society, such as the nobility and upper class. In [[human]] society, Aristocrats are rare, usually possessing hereditary titles. In [[Sangheili]] culture, Aristocrats earn their high status through martial prowess.

Originally, the term Aristocrat was used to describe the young men of the ruling class in Athens, Greece, who lead their armies with their swords down. It later passed into usage as an alternate word for the "nobility" of the Middle-Ages and is today recognized as the description of a descendant of one of 7,000 families with hereditary titles in Britain and other European countries that still acknowledge hereditary titles.<ref>[http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/aristocracy Aristocracy]</ref> As a [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/knight Knight]<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''</ref> and [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lord Lord]<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]'''</ref>, [[Hood|Fleet Admiral Hood]] can be considered a human Aristocrat.
