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>

===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 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]].

==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 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.
*While only one Field Marshal is fought in-game during ''Halo: Reach'''s campaign, several sightings occur. The first Field Marshal is seen during a cutscene in ''[[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]]'', though he escapes. 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 last 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]]. It is likely that these are all the same individual.
*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.
*On the level ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]'', a [[BOB]] wearing white-colored Sangheili armor appears when SPARTAN-B312 returns to [[Sword Base]]'s courtyard. It has randomly generated armor, and it is possible for it to be wearing white-colored Field Marshal armor.
*In ''Halo: Reach'', the Field Marshal and 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]].
*The armor of a Sangheili Field Marshal is available as an [[Armor Permutations (Halo: Reach)|armor permutation]] for Sangheili players who have reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in ''Halo: Reach''. It is the last armor permutation an Elite character can receive.
*It is unkown if the field marshals encountered during the game are all the same elite as the only timea this rank appears is in Winter contingency, New Alexandria and finally in the pillar of autumn. It possibly could be.
