The '''Heretic Sangheili Minor''' was the basic [[Heretic Sangheili]] rank attainable for Sangheili serving in [[Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction]].<ref name="Arbiter">'''Halo 2''', level ''[[The Arbiter]]''</ref><ref name="Oracle">'''Halo 2''', level ''[[The Oracle]]''</ref> They were distinguished from Sangheili belonging to the [[Covenant]] by their bronze-colored armor and the fin-like protrusions attached to the back of their armor. Like their Covenant counterparts, they often led small groups of [[Heretic Unggoy]].{{Ref/Reuse|Arbiter}}{{Ref/Reuse|Oracle}}

==Overview==
The '''Heretic Elite Minor''' is the lowest [[Heretics (Faction)|Heretic]] [[Elite]] rank known.
Previously part of the [[Covenant]]'s artifact retrieval group, the Heretic Sangheili Minors were fearless warriors led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]], along with the other heretic castes. They assisted 'Refumee in fortifying the [[Threshold gas mine|their base of operations]] by adding {{Pattern|Eeo'Pimu|Shade}}s as well as providing aerial patrols with their {{Pattern|Drailaac|Banshee}}s.


Most, if not all, were killed when the Gas mine fell into the depths of [[Threshold]], after the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] cut the cables holding the mine above Threshold.{{Ref/Reuse|Arbiter}}{{Ref/Reuse|Oracle}}
==Physical and Role Description==


== Gameplay ==
'''[[Heretic (Faction)|Heretic]] Elite Minors''' are denoted among the other [[Elites]] by their brownish-gold armor. They often lead small groups of [[Heretic Grunts]].
Heretic Minors are the easiest Heretics to deal with (other than Heretic Unggoy). They are equipped with [[Vostu-pattern carbine|Covenant Carbines]], or [[Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle|Plasma Rifle]]s, and may on rare occasions wield [[Type-1 Energy Sword|energy swords]].{{Ref/Reuse|Arbiter}}{{Ref/Reuse|Oracle}}


Heretic Minors may make any of several tactical errors, such as running forward into enemy fire, or walking into an ally's line of fire. Most Minors will stand still while firing, which can give the player time to attack. They will often be found unaware of the player's approach.
They are fearless warriors that ensured that their jobs are done well. They were the main enemies in the level [[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]], but they were also present in [[The Oracle (level)|The Oracle]]. Most, if not all, were killed when the Gas mine fell into the depths of [[Threshold]], after the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] cut the cables holding the mine above Threshold.

These Elites were led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]], along with the other [[Heretics (Faction)|Heretics]] castes.

It's possible some were part of [[Sesa 'Refumee]]'s Artifact Retrieval Group, and believed in what he spoke about after the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Oracle]] informed him of the true purpose of the Halo array.


==List of appearances==
Others may have heard his words elsewhere, and came to believe as well. Whatever the case, they all fought against the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] and the [[Special Operations Elites]] sent into the mine to silence the heresy.

==Sources==
When [[Thel 'Vadam]] and a [[Phantom]] took to the skies, Minor Elites patrolling the station by way of [[Heretic Banshee]]s continued to battle against them, but were ultimately put down. After the cables were cut, none seemed to be willing to give up on their beliefs and continued to fight, despite the fact that they most likely knew they were going to die one way or another.

{{Sangheili Ranks}}
It has been assumed that all survivors from both the [[Flood]] infestation and the Elites sent to quell their group perished after the mine fell into Threshold.
 
== Combat ==
Heretic Minors are the easiest Heretics to deal with (other than [[Heretics (Faction)|Heretic]] [[Grunts]]). Mostly found wielding [[Covenant Carbine]]s, [[Sentinel Beam]]s, or [[Energy Sword]]s, Heretic Minors are relatively easy to take down. With the Carbine, they will fire one shot at a time, making them vulnerable between attacks. With the Sentinel Beam, they will fire in shorter bursts than a [[Heretic Elite Major]].
 
Heretic Minors will make several tactical errors, such as running forward into enemy fire, or walking into an ally's line of fire. Most Minors will stand still while firing, which can give the [[Arbiter (Character)|player]] time to attack the Minor. Heretic Minors are common and will often be caught off-guard. They will often be found walking away from the Arbiter, or unaware of his approach.
 
==Trivia==
*They are one of the least seen bipeds in the Halo trilogy, as they only appear on two levels; [[the Arbiter]] and the [[Oracle]] in [[Halo 2]], just like the Heretic Grunts.
*It is possible that some survived due to the multiplayer map [[Burial Mounds]] being referred to as a Heretic base.
