The Chieftain of the Jiralhanae, [[Tartarus]] was [[Battle for the Control Room (Installation 05)|killed]] by [[Thel 'Vadam]], his [[Sangheili]] [[Fleet of Retribution|allies]], and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] on [[Installation 05]]. He wielded a powerful ancient and unique [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]], the [[Fist of Rukt]].{{Ref/Level|Id=TGJ|Game=Halo 2|Level=The Great Journey}} Preceding him was his uncle Maccabeus, the previous wielder of the Fist of Rukt. Maccabeus's death was at his young nephew's hands, as is the tradition within the Jiralhanae culture: a fight to the death over the Chieftain position within the pack. The same can likely be said for most Jiralhanae Chieftains unless the previous Chieftain fell in battle; however contestants may have had to fight to the death for the position if this was the case. This was known to have happened on at least one occasion during the [[Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss|Jiralhanae occupation]] of the colony [[Beta Gabriel]]. | The Chieftain of the Jiralhanae, [[Tartarus]] was [[Battle for the Control Room (Installation 05)|killed]] by [[Thel 'Vadam]], his [[Sangheili]] [[Fleet of Retribution|allies]], and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] on [[Installation 05]].

Due to animosity stoked by the [[Great Schism]], the Jiralhanae and [[Sangheili]] typically did not work together after the war, at least not as equals.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Envoy3|Halo: Envoy|Chapter=1 "The Covenant had failed, obliterated under the weight of many lies; as a result, the Sangheili did not make common cause with Jiralhanae anymore, at least not as equals.

A Jiralhanae Chieftain's shields are stronger than those of a standard Jiralhanae, but, oddly, are slightly weaker than a [[Jiralhanae Captain]]'s. Unlike the power armor worn by Jiralhanae of lesser ranks, a Chieftain's armor does not fall apart once the shields are disabled. Additionally, their heavy helmets protect them from [[headshot]]s, and it requires a handful of shots to the head from a precision weapon to knock off their helmet and leave them vulnerable to a fatal headshot. On any difficulty it only takes one [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|beam rifle]] or [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]] shot to disable their shields, while Jiralhanae Captains require two shots on Heroic or Legendary to bring their shields down. On Heroic, a Chieftain's shield can be brought down with twelve [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|assault rifle]] bullets or eight [[Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle|plasma rifle]] bolts. However, even unshielded, a Jiralhanae Chieftain has extremely high durability and can survive incredibly high amounts of damage; on Heroic, it takes forty-three assault rifle bullets, five particle beam rifle shots, or five direct hits from a [[Type-25 Brute shot|Brute shot]] to kill an unshielded Chieftain, whereas any other Jiralhanae rank dies after only one beam rifle shot or one to two Brute shot grenades once their shields are disabled. This makes the durability of Chieftains much closer to that of the Jiralhanae of ''Halo 2'' than any other Jiralhanae unit in ''Halo 3''. Additionally, their power armor grants Chieftains exceptionally high resistance to energy weaponry; even unshielded, a Jiralhanae Chieftain can withstand more than two hundred plasma rifle bolts before falling, while most standard Jiralhanae die after only a little over a dozen plasma rifle bolts once their shields are gone. Their [[Jiralhanae power armor|power armor]] cannot be stuck by [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenade]]s, [[Type-2 spike grenade|spike grenade]]s, or [[Type-33 needler|needler]] [[Blamite|projectiles]]. However, their armor can be stuck by [[Orgudam Workshop firebomb|firebombs]] and unarmored parts like the Chieftains' weapons, hands, and feet can be stuck by spike and plasma grenades. | A Jiralhanae Chieftain's shields are stronger than those of a standard Jiralhanae, but, oddly, are slightly weaker than a [[Jiralhanae Captain]]'s.

The Jiralhanae Chieftain's primary armament is the [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]], although they are also known to use {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}s, {{Pattern|Kopasa'mada|plasma launcher}}s, and {{Pattern|Pek|plasma cannon}}s. Jiralhanae Chieftains are the only enemy, aside from the occasional [[Flood]] and [[Sangheili General]], who use these weapons. On all level modes, they carry and almost always use the [[invincibility]] power-up. It is also possible for them to carry a [[regenerator]], [[flare]], or [[power drain]]. | The Jiralhanae Chieftain's primary armament is the [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]], although they are also known to use {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}s, {{Pattern|Kopasa'mada|plasma launcher}}s, and {{Pattern|Pek|plasma cannon}}s.
