For example, the armor | The Sangheili Field Marshal's armor design is similar to that of most other Sangheili warriors. For example, the armor appears to be a combination of the Zealot's and the Sangheili General's in terms of aesthetics and overall design. The helmet is nearly identical to the Zealot helmet, save for two spike-like protrusions at the top of the helmet. The core body piece of the armor is identical to the Zealot armor. The shoulder pauldrons are almost identical in structure and shape to the General's, although the ornamentation is blue rather than yellow. The Field Marshal's armor has tones and hues of dark violets and blues. Overall, the Field Marshal's battle attire is less ceremonial and designed for optimum efficiency in battle, while still emulating the traditionally sleek battle armor worn by the Sangheili throughout the [[History of the Covenant|Ages]]. | ||

*While only one Field Marshal is fought in-game during ''Halo: Reach'' | *While only one Field Marshal is fought in-game during ''Halo: Reach'''s campaign, several sightings occur.

Another Field Marshall is seen in the level ''[[New Alexandria (level)|New Alexandria]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s final cutscene, killing [[Catherine-B320]] from a Phantom. The only in-game Field Marshal encounter is at the end of the level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]'', trying to prevent [[SPARTAN-B312]] from manning the [[Mark 2488 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|Onager]]. The last Field Marshal is partly offscreen during ''[[Lone Wolf]]'', igniting its energy sword.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNLsMXNLdsc '''YouTube:''' ''Halo Reach - Noble Sixes Real Face'']</ref> It is likely that most of these are the same individual. | ||
