Sangheili Warlord: Difference between revisions

{{Newcontent|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]}}

For the Sangheili serving in the Banished, the position of warlord represents the most significant departure from the old [[Covenant]]'s traditional military structure. While Sangheili warlords typically serve as field commanders and generals in combat, they are described to be similar in role to that of a [[Kaidon]], the lord of a [[Sangheili]] [[keep]]. Although a warlord does not necessarily have to be a Kaidon, the few Kaidons willing to join the Banished despite its stigma, such as [[Thav 'Sebarim]],{{Ref/Game|Id=Target02|HINF|[[High Value Target]] dossier, Thav 'Sebarim}} are considered best suited for the position due to their ruling experience. A warlord commands hundreds of [[Sangheili Mercenary|mercenaries]] and [[Sangheili Enforcer|enforcers]] in a unified, holistic manner. A warlord's main task is to ensure that his troops outperform all others in the Banished.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=429}}

Warlords can swap their weapons and draw [[Energy Swords]] and cloak. They are usually armed with [[Veporokk Workshop Ravager]]s. Warlords are often seen commanding large groups of low to high ranking [[Unggoy]], [[Kig-yar]], [[Jiralhanae]] and even other lower ranking [[Sangheili]].
