Field Marshals command large-scale ground forces in widespread field operations, such as in full-scale planetary invasions.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Often overseeing several [[legion]]s,{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p240|Enc22|Page=240}} Field Marshals outrank [[Sangheili General|Generals]], who command particular regiments of ground forces; in some cases, a General may report directly to his Field Marshal.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Field Marshals command ultimate authority on the battlefield, reporting directly to their [[Covenant fleet|fleet]]'s [[Supreme Commander]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p240}} Despite their important command position, they are frequently present on the front lines in areas of importance and directing operations from there, rather than from fortified positions or spacecraft.
The Field Marshall rank falls under the [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]]-class, but appears to outrank regular Zealots. Besides leading large-scale ground operations, Field Marshalls are known to lead small strike teams comprised of Zealot officers for operations that require both skill and precision to take out key targets to turn the tide of the war/make a key difference. The Field Marshall is the highest combat related rank a sangheili can achive. <ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Winter Contingency]]''</ref>  
 
{{Conjecturalization}}
Some Field Marshals lead small strike teams composed of lower-ranking Zealots for operations that require both skill and precision. These operations are generally intended to search for and retrieve artifacts of value to their [[Covenant religion|religion]], or to eliminate targets to turn the tide of battles.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Winter Contingency]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 60''</ref>
The Field Marshall is theorized to be a principal, top-tier rank in the [[Covenant Army]]. Their designated role seems to pertain to command of ground forces in specific field operations, such as in widespread battles or invasions. Field Marshalls apparently outrank [[Sangheili General]]s, and may be of a higher position than normal [[Field Master]]s. Field Marshalls appear to be Sangheili equivalent of the [[Brute Army Commander]] or a [[Supreme Commander]] in the Covenant Navy. It's possible that they are responsible for all ground operations on a planet.

===Appearance===
===Appearance===
The Sangheili Field Marshal's armor design is similar to that of most other Sangheili warriors. For example, the armor resembles a combination of the Zealot's and the Sangheili General's. 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.
The Sangheili Field Marshall's armor design is similar to that of most other [[Sangheili]] warriors during the [[Fall of Reach]]. For example, the Marshall's armor is appears to be a combination of a [[Zealot]] and a [[Sangheili General|General]] 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 as the General's, although the ornamentation is blue rather than yellow. Essentially, as with all other Sangheili warriors' appearances during the Fall of Reach, the Field Marshall's armor has tones and hues of dark violets and blues.The armor is an affirmative appearance of Covenant construction. Overall, the field Marshall's battle attire is less ceremonious 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]].

*'''Description''': ''"With this sacrament of blood we journey into the Divine Beyond."''


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In ''Halo: Reach''{{'}}s Armory, the name of this rank is misspelled "Field Marshall". "Marshall" is a proper noun, typically used as a surname or as a masculine given name.<ref>[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/field+marshal '''Dictionary.com''': ''field marshal'']</ref><ref>[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Marshall '''Dictionary.com''': ''Marshall'']</ref>
*While only one Field Marshall is fought in-game during ''[[Halo: Reach]]'''s campaign, several sightings occur. The first Field Marshall is seen in [[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]] during a cutscene, and while he escapes and cannot be fought, his [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]] accomplices can be killed. The other Field Marshall encounter is at the end of the level [[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]], blocking [[Noble Six]] from the [[Onager]]. It is possible that this is the same Field Marshall encountered in the level Winter Contingency.
*While only one Field Marshal is fought in-game during ''Halo: Reach''{{'}}s campaign, several sightings occur. The first encounter is at the end of ''[[Winter Contingency]]'' where the Marshal confronts Noble Team, though he quickly retreats upon being outnumbered. The second sighting is during ''[[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 Onager|mass driver]]. Finally, during the finale of ''[[Lone Wolf]]'', a Zealot steps in front of the camera and ignites his Energy Sword as Noble Six is finally stricken down; while the Zealot's full body is obscured off-screen, it's implied this is another Field Marshal.
*On [[ONI: Sword Base]], a [[BOB]] wearing white-coloured [[Sangheili]] armor appears when Six returns to Sword Base's courtyard. It has randomly generated armor, and it is possible for it to be wearing white-colored Field Marshall armor.
*The Field Marshal is one of two enemies in ''Reach'' capable of switching weapons, along with the Zealot fought in ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''. He is equipped with a fuel rod cannon and when his shields are depleted he will switch to an energy sword.
*In ''Halo: Reach'', the Field Marshall and [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]] are the only [[Sangheili]] classes that cannot be fought in [[Firefight]].
*In ''Halo: Reach'', the Field Marshal and Zealots are the only Sangheili classes that cannot be fought in [[Firefight]].
*On Legendary and sometimes Heroic, the Field Marshall can withstand a direct Spartan Laser hit from a distance.
*The armor of a Sangheili Field Marshall is available as an [[Armor Permutations|armor permutation]] for Sangheili players that have reached the rank of Lt. Colonel in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. It is the last armor permutation an Elite character can receive.
