Aristocrat: Difference between revisions

In Sangheili culture, Aristocrats are those who are skilled enough in the field to utilize an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] in pristine combat. The title of Aristocrat is to be given for personal swords of their own. Once an Aristocrat receives his Energy Sword, he is no longer eligible for marriage for ceremonial reasons, but may mate with any female they wish, married or unmarried, in order to pass his "Swordsman" genes down to the next generation and kin. This title applies to all sword-wielders, from [[Special Operations Sangheili|Special Operation Elites]] to [[Councilor]]s to even fashionable Elites amid ''[[High Charity]]''.<ref>''[[Bestiarum]]''</ref> The only mentioned Aristocrat was [[Soha 'Rolamee]]. However, as in Rolamee's case, Aristocrats are lower in status than even lesser [[San 'Shyuum|Prophets]], such as the Prophet on board the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. Aristocrats are also the only Sangheili allowed to wield energy swords as [[Sangheili Minor|Minors]]. They recieve the suffix "-ai" added to their name; this is not replaced by the "-ee" suffix if they enter military service.
