Editing Captain (Covenant)

Jiralhanae Captains are seasoned veteran [[Jiralhanae]], and are more heavily armed and armored than standard Jiralhanae infantry.<ref name="HE144"/> They are smarter and significantly tougher than their lesser brethren.{{Citation needed}} Jiralhanae captains in the [[Banished]] operate with a higher level of autonomy than their Covenant counterparts. They often lead large numbers of troops and perform specific missions that smaller [[Jiralhanae Warrior|warrior]]-led groups would not be entrusted with. Like in a typical Jiralhanae clan, Banished Jiralhanae captains serve directly under a chieftain. Many ambitious captains keep their eyes on the chieftain's position and are always looking for opportunities to overthrow their leaders. The very best Jiralhanae captains in the Banished are elevated to the position of [[Jiralhanae Warlord|Warlord]]. Chosen captains will typically command the Elite of a given clan or Legion.{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=426}}

Like most [[Jiralhanae armor]]s prior to the [[Great Schism]], Captains wore standard partial body armor rather than a full-body armor, although based on different skeins; Rh'tol Captains were identified by a small [[holography|holographic]] red flag attached to their harnesses extending from their back, while Vheiloth Captains wore rather a gold helmet and more resilent armor than their Rh'tol counterparts.<ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 25''</ref>{{Ref/Game|Id=H2|H2}} During the Schism after the Jiralhanae were given elevated status in the [[Covenant military]], they were issued with iridescent [[leader power armor]], equipped with energy shields.{{Ref/Reuse|H3}} Jiralhanae Captains serving within the [[Banished]] are equipped with a red energy field, along with a helmet and full body armor with a [[jump pack]] that helps them maneuver around the battlefield{{Ref/Game|Id=HINF|Hi}} or perform melee attacks, and they are armed with [[Veporokk Workshop Ravager|Ravager]]s (those donning helmets reminiscent to that of brute captains serving the Covenant) or [[MLRS-2 Hydra|Hydra]]s (those donning fanned out helmets with bladed face lines and equipped with energy shielding)

{{Quote|The Captains themselves exhibit individual peculiarities and attitudes, though none could be said to be personable.|[[Jeff Easterling]] on Mgalekgolo Captains.<ref name="LML">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/leggo-my-lekgolo '''Halo Waypoint''' ''Canon Fodder - Leggo my Lekgolo'']</ref>}}

Within the Banished, [[Mgalekgolo]] Captains are "officers" deployed by [[Colony]] to locations which require more direct involvement and supervision. Captains make sure Lekgolo colonies and gestalts operate at full efficiency during battles. Each Captain is linked directly to Colony and its distant bond-brother over a specially modified battlenet relay, often going into battle without its bond-brother.{{Ref/Reuse|LML}} Unlike other Mgalekgolo, Captains are equipped with [[energy shielding]], making them perhaps the strongest known Mgalekgolo warriors.<ref name="HW2">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref>
