==Overview==
==Description==
Stalkers are commonly seen acting as spies and bodyguards for [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s, however they have a far more covert role in the [[Covenant]]. On the battlefield, they can function as spies and assassins. Jiralhanae Stalkers often use their [[active camouflage]] to flank and ambush unsuspecting hostile forces. They also use [[radar jammer]]s to confuse enemies, before charging in with [[Type-52 Mauler]]s to finish them off.<ref name="HE145">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 145''</ref>

====Postwar====
UNSC intel after the war on the Stalker corps was used by the [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]] in the production of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Stalker|Stalker]] variant.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 176''</ref> The most elite Stalkers that served within the old guard of the Covenant would eventually join the [[Banished]], and would work closely with the [[Merchants of Qikost]] to perfect the {{Pattern|Elutuzem|stalker rifle}}'s integrated sighting systems.{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=479}}

Stalkers are easily identified by their [[Stalker power armor|gray-colored armor]], which possess integrated circuitry for [[cloaking]], and as well as [[Energy shielding|personal energy shields]],{{Ref/Game|Id=ODST|ODST}} in their [[Jiralhanae power armor|power armor]] as well as their cyclops-like helmet with a bright red "eye" light. The Bloodstars' armor featured a dark red coloration to match the color of the Silent Shadow.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS18}} They often use radar jammers to confuse their enemies, and make heavy use of [[Orgudam Workshop firebomb|Orgudam Workshop Firebomb Grenade]]s. Their main weapon seems to be the {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}, though they are occasionally armed with [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker]]s or [[Type-52 Mauler|Ukala Workshop Mauler]]s.{{Ref/Game|Id=H3|H3}}
