The title of '''Arbiter''' is the highest possible honor bestowed upon a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Sangheili]] by the [[Hierarchs]] during a time of need. It is the greatest religious rank of the Sangheili, although [[councilor]] rank higher in political matters. The Arbiter acts as a sort of field general, going on missions for the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophets]] and during incidents such as the Taming of the Lekgolo, the Unggoy Rebellion, [[Human-Covenant War]], and most recently, the threat of the [[heretics]] led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]]. | The title of '''Arbiter''' is the highest possible honor bestowed upon a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Sangheili]] by the [[Hierarchs]] during a time of need.
