On Venezia, many of these efforts are funded by cartel leaders creating and hiring out super-soldier mercenaries to a variety of groups in exchange for raw materials and access to stolen technology.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF158|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-blightlands-and-brigands|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Blightlands and Brigands|D=17|M=10|Y=2024}} They are named after a similar [[Wikipedia:Janissary|program]] undertaken by the [[Wikipedia:Ottoman Empire|Ottoman Empire]]'s military during the [[Wikipedia:Middle Ages|Middle Ages]] of [[human]]ity's history.{{Ref/Novel|Id=sonata|Halo: Venezian Sonata}}

==Roles==

Banished leaders must first enter a formal contract in order to enlist Janissaries.{{Ref/Reuse|CF158}} While Janissaries allied with the Banished are rarely given with front-line roles, some of them take those roles as the quickest way to gain access to even more augmentation procedures.{{Ref/Game|Id=Assailer|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=Assailer - Helmet Description|Quote=Human janissaries allied with the Banished rarely take on front-line roles, but it is the quickest way to gain access to further augmentation.}}
