Editing Atriox's Chosen

Although not granted a formal level of authority, the Chosen act as enforcers of Atriox's will within the Banished, and permeate the organisation's structure at every level.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} They work as agents in charge of keeping uncooperative [[pack]]s in line and ensuring their loyalty to Atriox's will. They additionally work to direct the forces they are attached to, and their presence on the battlefield invokes a sense of awe and fear in those they encounter—particularly the lesser-ranked Jiralhanae within the Banished. The [[Sangheili]] mercenaries serving within the Banished, such as those under [[Shipmaster]] [[Let 'Volir]]'s command, have an active hostility to the Chosen.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}  

In contrast to the formal title of [[Jiralhanae Chosen Warrior|Chosen Warrior]], which is granted to common [[Jiralhanae Warrior]]s,{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=425}} Atriox's Chosen are primarily drawn from the ranks of the Jiralhanae, with no active examples of any Chosen selected from any of the other constituent species within the Banished. Whether this status is inherently exclusive to the Jiralhanae is unknown.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFood|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-food-for-thought|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Food for Thought|D=07|M=10|Y=2022|Quote=The current members who hold the title of “Atriox’s Chosen” seem to be primarily from the Jiralhanae ranks, but it is currently unknown whether that is a widely exclusive appointment.}} The warriors selected to be inducted into the Chosen consist of those who demonstrate complete loyalty to Atriox, and great skill in battle,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} usually consisting of higher-ranked and more experienced Chieftains.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}

==Equipment==

Atriox's Chosen are outfitted with full-body armour and [[energy shielding]]. They are typically seen utilising [[Jovokada Workshop brute shot]]s in combat.{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}}{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}

==In-game informmation==

* In the ''[[Halo Wars 2 Open Beta]]'' and ''[[Halo Wars 2 - Blitz Beta|Blitz Beta]]'', [[Jiralhanae Warlord]]s used the same armour model as Atriox's Chosen.{{Ref/Game|Halo Wars 2 Open Beta|[[:File:HW2B Banished Warlord.png|Brute Warlord 3D model]]}} Several Brutes were also shown in Blitz to wear Atriox's Chosen [[Jiralhanae power armor|power armor]], but were armed with [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]]s, as opposed to the Brute Shot shown in the final game.

* The order of Atriox's Chosen was seemingly referenced in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''{{'}}s [[Forge]], in which shielded variants of Jiralhanae are distinguished from their unshielded counterparts by being labelled as "Chosen"; for example, shielded Jiralhanae Captains are called "Brute Captain, Chosen". Subsequently, the unshielded variant of the [[Jiralhanae Chosen Warrior]]—which never appears in campaign—is erroneously called "Brute Warrior" to match its shielded variant being called "Brute Warrior, Chosen". Instead, the blue and purple variants of the [[Jiralhanae Warrior]]s are called "Brute Minor" and "Brute Commando", respectively. The Forge menu also erroneously calls [[Jiralhanae Warlord|Jiralhanae Warlord Chieftains]] as "Brute Chieftain, Chosen".
