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. | 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]].

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 command groups of [[Minor Elites]] as well as other Covenant races in ground combat situations.

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. | They are the physical equivalent of a [[Spartans|SPARTAN-II supersoldier]], and are far more intuitive and quick-thinking than their subordinates.

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. | These Elites have slightly more powerful [[Elite Personal Energy Shield|shields]] than their subordinate blue-clad Minor Domo subordinates, as fitting with their rank.
