As members of the San'Shyuum nobility, High Lords were expected to use [[anti-gravity chair]]s for transportation and comfort. Those born to lower-caste broods were destined to serve as subordinates to High Lords. For example, [[steward]]s were selected from the lower-caste to accompany High Lords on the battlefield to serve as a personal military advisor and bodyguard, despite the fact that High Lords were better armed than stewards.{{Ref/Reuse|prologue}} Those titled High Lord could also hold additional titles such as [[Hierarch]] in the Reformists.
Between [[860 BCE]] and [[851 BCE]], [[Mken 'Scre'ah'ben]] was the High Lord of Sacred Relics.<ref name="bc18"/> It was likely [[Qurlom]] was a High Lord, as he resided in the Compartments of Comfort.<ref name="bc50"/>
 
Under the Covenant, additional titles such as [[Minister (title)|minister]] held more authority than one who was only a High Lord.<ref name="bc1">''Halo: Broken Circle'', Chapter 1</ref>
 
[[Mken 'Scre'ah'ben]] was the High Lord of Sacred Relics.{{Ref/Reuse|prologue}} [[Hierarch]] [[Qurlom]] was also a High Lord. Within [[High Charity]], all High Lords resided in the Compartments of Comfort.{{Ref/Reuse|bc2}}
