'''Elite Honor Guard''' is a [[Covenant]] [[Sangheili]] (Elite) rank.
Coming from highly honored backrounds, these [[Elites]] are picked at birth to be the personal bodyguards of the [[Prophet]] Hierarchs.
==Rank==
[[Image:HonorGuard01.jpg|left|thumb|115px|Honor Guard Elite with pike.]]
They wear red helmets and under-armor with large semi-circular orange 'plates' sticking into the air. These 'plates' also have yellow and red alternating patterns, bordered by black.  This yellow/red alternating pattern is also seen on the thrones of [[High Prophets]].  It is unknown if they are the highest rank or in another rank class entirely, but some things support that they are equal in rank with the [[Ultra Elite]]. For the first: Both ranks can become [[Honor Guard Ultra]]s, and for the second: An Honor Guard is less active than a [[Zealot]], making many people to believe that they're one step lower than [[Zealot]]s, and that's equal with [[Ultra Elites]]. This is speculation, but it is believable. 
 
It seems that wherever a High Prophet is present, the Honor Guard are also. There could be as many as 300 Honor Guard Elites for each Prophet, as the [[Step of Silence]] seems designed to hold 300 Honor Guard but only one Prophet.
They are commanded by the more skilled [[Honor Guard Ultra]]s.
 
==Combat==
Up until [[The Sacred Icon (Level)]] in [[Halo 2]] these were the personal bodyguards of the [[High Prophets|Prophet Hierarch]]s. Until the [[Brute]]s took over before the [[Civil War of the Covenant]]. They fought usually with [[Plasma Swords]] and occasionally double [[Plasma Rifle]]s in pairs (they also wield ceremonial spears that match their armor, only in cutscenes). More wiry and agile than the Brute honor guards, their speed and quick reflexes with the Energy Sword
paired with their skill with double Plasma Rifles rapid fire made them formidable foes. The Elite Honor Guards are only seen in cutscenes and the levels [[Delta Halo (Level)|Delta Halo]], [[Regret (Level)|Regret]], and [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]] as enemies. It seems that once the Covenant Civil War began Honor Guards began taking back their armor as some Elite Honor Guards can be seen fighting [[Brute]]s in the level [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]].
 
After the [[Flood]] invaded [[High Charity]], it's unknown if any one of them lives by now, as they either was attacked and killed by [[Brutes]], and even if they would survive that, they should have been infected by the [[Flood]].
