==Overview==
'''Imperial Admiral''' is a [[Covenant]] [[Sangheili]] (Elite) rank.
The full extent of the role and responsibilities of the Imperial Admiral title are unclear, save for it being the highest point of authority within the military mechanisms of the Covenant. Its only known title-holder was [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]], an Imperial Admiral in the final years of the [[Covenant]] who held considerable sway throughout the empire for his natural talent and insight. At the height of his influence and popularity, Wattinree was exiled from [[High Charity]] to command the far-flung [[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]] - an armada of warships charged with oversight of the most far-flung reaches of the empire. This was done due to Xytan's authority threatening to outstrip that of the [[Hierarch]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} This is likely an example of a Covenant [[High Fleet]] exile, in which a powerful and charismatic Sangheili officer would be exiled to the far-flung reaches of the empire as a cap on their power and bestowed numerous ceremonial titles and names - but ultimately provided little legacy.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=238-239}}


Imperial Admiral Wattinree was one of the foremost voices of the [[Covenant separatists|separatist]] movement at the start of the [[Great Schism]], and assembled a force of around two hundred ships in orbit of [[Saepon'kal]] with the intent of leading a massive counterstrike on the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Alpha Tribe]]s, with the intent of then leading his force to exterminate the [[Flood outbreak|outbreak]] of [[Flood]] on [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]] before ultimately continuing with the [[Human-Covenant War|genocide]] of [[human]]ity as per the original vision of the Covenant. Ultimately, this force was stopped by a [[NOVA bomb]] planted aboard Xytan's supercarrier ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]''.{{Ref/Novel|GoO|Chapter=27}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
==Summary==
The Imperial Admiral<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 239</ref> is within the Elite ranks, and is extremely high in the Covenant. This rank is given to Elites to control large fleets and armadas. It could be compared to a [[UNSC Navy]] [[Fleet Admiral]]. Very few ever attain this rank. Usually an Imperial Admiral operates on a high ranking ship ([[Covenant Flagship]]) such as an [[Assault Carrier]], [[Covenant Supercarrier|Supercarrier]], or other powerful capital ships within the Covenant armada.


==List of appearances==
In the known Covenant ranking heirarchy for the Elites, they are below only [[Councilor]]s and [[Arbiter]]s.

==Trivia==
*Since they are quite similar, it has been discussed that Imperial Admiral and [[Supreme Commander]] are the same rank, just with a different name. However, this has been proven right.First of the reason why is becuse of how the creative artist of the graphic novel were being creative.This is first seen with the flood.Unlike the sick tanish greyish color they are seen in the graphic novel as mostly a jumble of purple and green.Also,the elites in the [[New Mombassa]] plot were pink skinned with the odd pink energy sword.Even the plasma bolts are slightly different in the story line Last Voyage of The Infinite Succor and New Mobassa are diiferent.One having pink plasma balls opposed to the purple seen in-game.The plasma rifles in  the New-Mombassa story plot fire green plasma bolts in beam formation opposed to the games blue repeater style bolts.Also on page 239 in Halo Ghost of Onyx it said "The FORMER supreme commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice." That word "FORMER"(the word "Former" can also sometimes have the same exact definition of the word "Previous") is technically infering that supreme commander and imperial admiral are the same.In other words it could be saying.The previous imperial admiral had never returned from the glorious mission the prophets had sent hime on.
