As some of the most fearsome infantry in the Banished forces,{{Ref/Reuse|PLH}} Warlords are powerful and skilled Jiralhanae veterans with extraordinary strategic acumen that have been systematically tested in the rigors of combat over many years.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p427}} Jiralhanae are promoted to Warlords for their raw strength, savage lust for battle, and the complete absence of mercy to serve as loyal agents positioned to intercede on the Banished leaders' behalf to bring recalcitrant packs to heal and direct critical faction operations.{{Ref/Reuse|PLH}} While some Warlords are chieftains of their own [[clan]]s—such as those led by Decimus' command during the [[Second Ark Conflict]]—other Warlords are captains,{{Ref/Twitter|Name=Tom Wholley|Tag=TomWholley28|Code=1480277931918184450|Quote=Brute Warlord ◽️ There are many different kinds of banished brutes in Zeta Halo.}} which is a formal rank within the Banished military; regardless, Warlords are chosen to lead a clan uniquely formulated within the Banished, which is in contrast to traditional fully-formed clans that join the Banished military.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p427}}

Leading a clan or a [[legion]], Warlords operate directly under the command of a [[War Chief]] or even [[Warmaster]] [[Atriox]] himself. As such, the commitment of a clan is first to Atriox, even above the loyalty they must have for their own battle brothers.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p427}} While the Jiralhanae who make up [[Atriox's Chosen]] share their leader's cunningness, Decimus encouraged more base traits in his warriors, chief among which is an unquenchable thirst for blood.{{Ref/Reuse|PLH}}

 

Answerable only to Atriox and the War Chiefs, warlords are no doubt feared by many lower-ranking Jiralhanae and hated by Banished [[Sangheili]] warriors, such as [[Let 'Volir]]’s [[Enduring Conviction|troops]], though none can deny the warlords' loyalty or violent proficiency in culling the Banished ranks of weaker links.{{Ref/Reuse|atw}}{{Ref/Game|Id=PLH|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=[[Phoenix Logs#Banished Units|Warlord]]}}

A number of Warlord Chieftains led by [[Decimus]] were deployed during the [[Second Ark Conflict]], including [[Pavium]], one of two leaders of the [[Clan of the Long Shields]] alongside [[Voridus]].{{Ref/Game|Id=HW2|HW2|gameplay}} [[Escharum]]'s forces in the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] were led by numerous Warlords, including both Chieftains and Captains. Chieftain [[Tremonius]] was notably a Warlord who led a massive Banished force at the [[Battle of the Mortal Reverie|Battle of the ''Mortal Reverie'']].{{Ref/Game|Id=iyh|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Outpost Intel 3|Banished Audio log|Detail=Outpost Intel #15 - In Your Honor}} Another Warlord, [[Horatius]], was appointed as an "honor guard" for the [[Harbinger]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFHVT|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-high-value-histories|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - High Value Histories|D=08|M=09|Y=2022}}

Warlords are usually equipped with energy shields to supplement their already-heavy armor and hides.{{Ref/Reuse|PLH}} Warlords also have the privilege of tailoring their armor and equipment according to their own preference, but those recently appointed to this role often employed a [[Ultra-class armor|silver armor]]; its design actually predates both Banished and Covenant, and was worn by the most renowned pack leaders during the dark times of the [[First Immolation]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p427}} Most notably, Pavium features his own unique [[Chieftain power armor|Warlord Chieftain power armor]] gifted by Decimus.{{Ref/Site|Id=back|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/back-mentality|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Back Mentality|D=22|M=8|Y=2021}}

Jiralhanae Warlord Chieftains under Decimus' command within the core group of the Banished were typically armed with [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|PLH}} Those gravity hammers may rather be a warlord's [[Gravity hammer (fiction)#Variants|personally-fashioned unique gravity hammers]], which are wielded by many prideful Jiralhanae chieftains who have forgotten which their work should be enriching, and have wound up on the receiving end of these gravity hammers.{{Ref/Reuse|PLH}} These modified gravity hammers emit a massive shockwave which damages and stuns all nearby ground units.{{Ref/Reuse|PLH}} Jiralhanae Warlord Captains under [[Escharum]] are armed with [[Forerunner]] [[heatwave]]s, while their chieftain counterparts are armed with gravity hammers or [[Grenflekt Workshop Scrap Cannon]]s. Both variants carry [[spike grenade]]s.{{Ref/Game|HI|gameplay}}
