'''Imperial Admiral''' is a Covenant [[Sangheili]] (Elite) rank. They command large fleets. This rank does appear in [[Halo 3]].The [[Sangheili]] name was R'tas Vadum.He did lead the Covenant Sepratist Fleet;it also appears in [[Ghosts of Onyx]]. Even so, the only one who ever appears is a tall Sangheili named [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]]. Not much is known about this rank.


==Overview==
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}}
==Rank==
An Imperial Admiral operates on a high ranking [[Covenant Flagship]] such as an [[Assault Carrier]], [[Covenant Supercarrier|Supercarrier]], or other very powerful capital ships within the Covenant armada. They seem to be higher ranked than a [[Zealot]]<ref>Halo: Ghosts of Onyx</ref>, as [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] promoted [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]], but this is not known for sure. It is revealed in [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] that the Imperial Admiral controls the entire fleet of the Covenant. Little else is known about the rank other than that. It has been featured in one book, so little information can be given.

*''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'' {{1st}}
Their armour is silver armor covered with the gold Forerunner glyphs of sacred mystery, Such silver-and-gold Elite armor has been seen in [[Halo 3]] and  mentioned in [[Ghosts of Onyx]] , and is superior in quality to the gold armor of a Zealot <ref>[[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]]</ref> and <ref>[[R'tas Vadum]]</ref>. Xytan travels with a large hologram of himself, and it is unknown if other Imperial Admirals do so, or if this is just something he has a habit of doing. They wear a headress for ceremonial purposes, like a Sangheili [[Councilor]]. Xytan also wears a pear of large platform boots, though it is hard to tell if all Imperial Admirals have this, as he is the only one.[[R'tas Vadum]] travels with [[The Arbiter]] .He leads the Covenant Sepratist Fleet.He was last seen heading to his Homeworld of [[Sanghelios]].He was Leading the fleet while [[The Arbiter]] and the [[Master Chief]] Where Fighting The [[Prophet of Truth]] and [[Flood]].[[R'tas Vadum]] was a Spec Ops elite in [[Halo 2]].It is not known how he escaped the Flood in [[Halo 2]].His Flagship is the [[Shadow of Intent]].
