'''Major Elite''', occasionally referred to as the '''Major Domo Elite''', '''Veteran''', or '''Half-Commander''', is a [[Covenant]] [[Sangheili]] (Elite) rank.

== Rank ==
[[Image:Red_elite.jpg|left|thumb|A Major Domo on [[Installation 04]].|200px]]
Elites bearing this rank are seasoned warriors whose rank is relatively low in the Covenant Sangheili rank structure: they are higher than a [[Minor Domo Elite]]. Also, only a Major Elite can become an [[Ossoona]], mainly due to the fact that a more seasoned warrior prefers combat, not stealth, and a Minor Elite is too inexperienced to become the Ossoona. The Ossoona is a temporary rank that is given to Elites. The job of an Ossoona is to spy on enemies but not attack them unless they are discovered.

They command groups of [[Minor Elites]] as well as other Covenant races in ground combat situations. On lower difficulties of both [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] and [[Halo 2]], Major Domo Elites are rarely seen without a Minor Elite present. However, on the higher difficulty levels ([[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]]), these Elites are more numerous than Minors, in order to increase the difficulty of the game.

They are the physical equivalent of a [[Spartans|SPARTAN-II supersoldier]], and are far more intuitive and quick-thinking than their subordinates. A single Major Elite can often hold its own against a squad of [[Marine]]s. They are also the only known rank of Elite that have been shown to become [[Ossoona]]s. To humans, they would be and are considered [[Sergeant]]s in the Covenant. The rank of a Major Domo Elite can be compared to that of [[Major Grunt|Grunt Major]]s among [[Unggoy]], [[Jackal Major]]s among [[Kig-Yar]], [[Sentinel Majors]] among [[Sentinels]], and Heretic Elite Majors among [[Heretic Elite]]s.

The Major Domo Elite can be graduated to several ranks: [[Ossoona]] (temporary), [[Stealth Elite]], [[Special Operations Elite]], [[Ultra Elite]], [[Zealot]], [[Honor Guard]], and [[Special Operations Commander]]

== Equipment ==


Enemy Major Elites (encountered throughout Halo: Combat Evolved and in Halo 2 only when playing as the [[Master Chief]]) are only found wielding [[Plasma Rifle]]s, [[Needler]]s, and sometimes [[Carbines]]. They also carry and use [[Plasma Grenades]]. However, when the player encounters them as the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] they, like all Elite allies, can be given any held weapon. An uncommon glitch concerning these Elites, found only in [[Delta Halo (Level)|Delta Halo]] on the Heroic difficulty, exists. When the last [[Phantom]] arrives, an enemy Major Elite will be dropped off wielding an [[Energy Sword]].(This is considered a glitch due to the fact that only higher ranking members of the covenant are allowed to wield the energy sword because of it's religious purpose.) 

These Elites have slightly more powerful [[Elite Personal Energy Shield|shields]] than their subordinate blue-clad Minor Domo subordinates, as fitting with their rank. In Halo 2, these shields are somewhat weaker than those of [[Honor Guard Elite]]s, [[Zealot]]s, and [[Heretic Elite]] Majors. On lower difficulties they can take a maximum of three hits on the body, or a single headshot from the [[Sniper Rifle]] or [[Beam Rifle]], and in higher difficulties, they can take up to 4 body shots.

==Combating a Major Elite==   
    
The same tactics used to kill Minor Elites can be used against Major Elites as well. However, their stronger energy shields make them more resilient. For example, in Halo: CE on Normal difficulty, it takes eight headshots from the M6D pistol to kill a Major, compared to six for a Minor. Furthermore, the sniper rifle takes two headshots on Legendary difficulty. However, the "noob combo" is just effective as it is against a Minor Elite, as the plasma pistol's charged shot instantly disables any shields regardless of strength.

== Tactics ==

Elite Majors fire in sustained bursts and evasively strafe while shooting. They are also far less prone to tactical mistakes, such as charging directly into a fight or forgetting to take cover. On higher difficulty settings, it is very dangerous to face a major Elite wielding a Needler, as the quick bursts fired by major Elites can strip shields down in a matter of seconds, not to mention the explosion of the projectiles the Needler fires.

Much like Minor Elites on higher difficulty, they will attempt to lure the player into the open. They do this far more often when they have support from significant threats such as [[Hunters]], groups of [[Drones]], or [[Jackal Sniper]]s, but almost never attempt it while alone.

== Physical Appearance ==

Major Elites wear distinct red (specifically crimson) armor, comparable to the red armor of Grunt Majors.
 Major Elites in [[Halo 3]] are clad in metallic crimson colored armor.

== Appearances ==
[[Image:MajorElite3.jpg|right|thumb|Major Elite in [[New Mombasa]]]]
=== ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' ===

Major Domo Elites were seen in almost every level in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], their first appearance being in [[The Pillar of Autumn (Level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]. They appear on every level at least once and sometimes are even scripted to appear to make the fight more difficult regardless.

=== ''[[Halo 2]]'' ===

In Halo 2, Major Elites appeared in every level where the player controlled the Master Chief except for [[High Charity (Level)|High Charity]]. In [[Metropolis]], two Elite Majors controlled the [[Scarab]] in the city-center. These Elites were unusual in that they could not be killed while still at their stations, even from a direct [[Rocket Launcher]] hit. Once they abandoned their posts, however, they were just as strong as normal Major Domo Elites.

While playing as the Arbiter, a Major Elite was gained as an ally halfway through [[Quarantine Zone (Level)|Quarantine Zone]], only if all of the player's allies had already been killed. In [[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]], one of these Elites would present the player with a [[Banshee]] to accompany [[Sergeant Johnson]]'s Scarab. Later, during the final boss battle, Majors were randomly generated to aid the player against [[Tartarus]].

==='''[[Halo 3]]'''===

There is a Major Elite leading a group of Special Operation Elites on Floodgate who talks to the Arbiter about the state of the Elite militarily forces.  

There is also randomly generated Majors on the level Covenant along with some Minor Elites they are dropped in by a pair of [[Covenant Separatist|Separatist]] Phantoms.

-===Organisation===
+== Rank ==
-Officers are a subset of the Major rank. Sangheili Officers wear more ornamental armor than other Majors, though their combat role bears no apparent distinction from the rest of their grade. Like regular Majors, Officers report to their onsite [[Sangheili Ultra|Ultra]] or, in the absence of an Ultra, directly to their [[Sangheili General|General]] or [[Shipmaster]]. Most Officers have a selection of units under their command, including Sangheili Minors, [[Unggoy]], and [[Kig-Yar]].<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe''', ''page 135'' (2011 edition)</ref>

The Ossoona is a temporary rank that is given to Elites. The job of an Ossoona is to spy on enemies but not attack them unless they are discovered.
-In [[Warzone]] simulations, [[Spartan-IV]]s train against Sangheili Covert Majors. In this simulation Covert Majors operate in very small special units. They usually lead two Sangheili Officers equipped with {{Pattern|Kelos'vaarda|storm rifle}}s. All team members are equipped with [[active camouflage]], and the Covert Major specifically wields an [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]].<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians Official Game Guide]] (Collector's Edition)''', ''page 308''</ref>
+They command groups of [[Minor Elites]] as well as other Covenant races in ground combat situations.

-The Major rank and equivalent titles still see use in the wake of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. The now-defunct [[Merg Vol's Covenant|faction]] led by [[Merg Vol]] used the traditional Major rank and armor.{{Ref/Game|Id=HSA|HSA}} [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] instead fields [[Commander (Covenant)|Commanders]], who wear a modified version of the Officer harness and helmet.{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4}} During at least [[Battle of Installation 03|one engagement]], Jul 'Mdama's Covenant have utilized the rank.{{Ref/Game|Id=HSS|HSS}}
-==Equipment==
+The Major Domo Elite can be graduated to several ranks: [[Ossoona]] (temporary), [[Stealth Elite]], [[Special Operations Elite]], [[Ultra Elite]], [[Zealot]], [[Honor Guard]], and [[Special Operations Commander]]
-Typically, the [[Sangheili harness|armor]] of a Major is a standard [[Combat harness|Sangheili combat harness]] that is nearly identical to that of a Sangheili Minor, save for its red coloration, which is comparable to the red armor of [[Unggoy Major]]s. As with other Sangheili ranks a variety of helmet and armor styles may be utilized, though all are colored a shade of red, typically scarlet or maroon. The suit is augmented with a stronger [[energy shielding]] system than that used by Minors.
-A byproduct of the Major role, Officers wear more ornamental armor, which functions with no substantial differences to Major Sangheili equipped with the standard combat harness.{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}} The officer harness features much more pronounced shoulder pauldrons and a more elaborate helmet with a backward-swept spike in the center.{{Ref/Reuse|Reach}} The design is more standardized than that of ordinary Majors, varying only in color. One color scheme is blood red with a golden tinge and brass-colored highlights;{{Ref/Reuse|Reach}} another is matte burgundy with white accents on the arms and legs, the collar, and the helmet.<ref>''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''</ref>

-These Sangeili are commonly seen in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'' (as Majors), and ''Halo: Reach'' (as Officers) on the [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulties.

+==='''[[Halo 3]]'''===
-Equipped with approximately 50% stronger energy shields than their lower-ranked counterparts, Majors are competent and forceful warriors capable of overpowering their opponents, namely UNSC Marines and ODSTs although not ''necessarily''. They are less likely to perform tactical errors when compared with the inferior Sangheili Minors; Majors seek more cover and fire their weapons with a greater accuracy and faster rate of fire, and are also more maneuverable. However, they still make some tactical mistakes, as they tend not to seek cover in many occasions, even with their shields down.
+There is a Major Elite leading a group of Special Operation Elites on Floodgate who talks to the Arbiter about the state of the Elite militarily forces.
-Like the Minors, Majors usually wield [[Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle|Plasma rifles]], occasionally [[dual wielding]] them, but can be encountered with [[Vostu-pattern carbine|Covenant carbines]], [[Type-33 needler|Needlers]], [[Gadulo-pattern needle rifle|Needle rifles]], and many other equally or more powerful weapons, depending on the game.
+There is also randomly generated Majors on the level Covenant along with some Minor Elites they are dropped in by a pair of [[Covenant Separatist|Separatist]] Phantoms.
-There is no discernible difference between the Major and Officer: both would appear to have the same gameplay properties (i.e. energy shield strength, damage).
-==Trivia==
-{{Linkbox|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of Sangheili Majors}}
-*As seen in an early trailer for ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', Sangheili Majors were capable of wielding [[Sangheili point defense gauntlet|point defense gauntlets]] during the game's development.
-*The Sangheili Officer combat harness is available as a Sangheili [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|armor permutation]] in [[multiplayer]] as a reward for buying the [[Halo: Reach Limited Edition|''Halo: Reach'' Limited]] or [[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|Legendary]] editions.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=intel&cid=25875 '''Bungie.net''': ''Halo: Reach Intel - Pre-Order'']</ref>
-*It was previously assumed that the full title was "Major Domo Sangheili", first mentioned in ''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', which makes a reference to a "Major Domo Sangheili".<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 349''</ref> On the following pages Sangheili of the military rank are simply called Majors.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 350''</ref> In the real world, "[[Wikipedia:Majordomo|majordomo]]" is a term for the head of a family staff in an aristocracy. In light of this, it is possible that Sangheili who hold the title of Major Domo are in a similar position in the Sangheili [[Aristocrat|aristocracy]]. Alternatively, it is possible that Major Domo is an alternate title for Officer, or another subclass within the Major rank.
