The '''Brute Bodyguard''' is a [[Brutes|Brute (Jiralhanae)]] specialty rank<ref>http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsCampaignHalo3.aspx?gameid=27585757&player=Kyle%20the%20Irish</ref>. They are responsible for the protection of their packs [[Brute Chieftain|Chieftain]]. They are also responsible for the enforcement of tribal law. Whenever there is a Chieftain nearby, you will encounter Brute Bodyguards which look very similar to [[Brute Captain|Captain]]s. Bodyguard Brutes are also seen to be protecting [[High Prophet of Truth|Truth]] on the level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]].  They are likely the replacement for the [[Honor Guard]] being that [[Tartarus]] also had Honor Guard protection. Brute bodyguards seem to favor Covenant weapons such as the [[Plasma Rifle]] and [[Carbine]] rather than their own native tech. They come in two variants: A more common, silvery-blue<ref>http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsCampaignHalo3.aspx?gameid=27585757&player=Kyle%20the%20Irish</ref> (with red underarmor) variant, and a less common, silver armored (with red underarmor) variant. Whether these variants signify differences in behavior or strength is unknown as of yet.They are first seen in [[Sierra 117]].

9== Differences with the Brute Captain  ==

The [[Brute Captain]]s and the atypical Brute Bodyguard look almost ''exactly'' the same (especially in dim lighting), but there are in fact slight differences in their Power Armor color and power. The Brute Captain Regulars have a violet tinge to the armor, but the Bodyguards have a more indigo color and their underarmor and garments are light crimson. However in the heat of combat it is extremely difficult to differentiate between the two ranks. They supplant the Brute Honor Guards from [[Halo 2]].

(on the reference about the silvery-blue armored Brutes proof of them being Bodyguards, note that Sierra 117 does not have any silver armored Brute Bodyguards)
