A '''Steward''' was a title in the [[Covenant]]. Stewards served as servants, advisors and even bodyguards, if the situation required it, to high-ranking individuals, such as a [[Sangheili]] [[fleetmaster]]s or [[San'Shyuum]] [[High Lord]]s or [[Hierarch]]s.

==San'Shyuum==
Stewards were employed by the [[Reformist]] San'Shyuum as early as the [[War of Wills]]. Even though Stewards were generally tasked with protecting the San'Shyuum they were assigned to, their superiors were usually better armed than them.<ref name="bc5">'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''page 5''</ref> The Reformist Stewards originated from a lower-caste brood that was forever obligated to serve as a subordinate.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 7''</ref> These early Stewards were equipped with [[antigravity belt]]s and armed with [[pulse rifle]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|bc5}} The Stewards donned long, purple robes.<ref name="h2aterminal1">'''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''', ''[[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 1]]''</ref> 

The [[Mken 'Scre'ah'ben|High Lord of Sacred Relics]] worked with a Steward during the [[Battle of Anvarl|skirmish]] at [[Anvarl]] in [[860 BCE]], until the Steward was killed during a [[Sangheili]] ambush on the San'Shyuum command station.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 12-13''</ref> A Steward later served aboard ''[[Vengeful Vitality]]'' during the mission to [[Janjur Qom]].<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 79''</ref>

The title of Steward continued to be used throughout [[History of the Covenant|Covenant history]]. Following the [[Battle of Meridian]] in [[2551]], the [[Prophet of Regret]] met with two San'Shyuum Stewards who revealed the existence of the [[Installation 00|final home of the Forerunners]], as well the [[Earth|location]] of a [[Portal at Voi|portal that led to it]].{{Ref/Reuse|h2aterminal1}}

==Sangheili==
The title of Steward was also used among the [[Sangheili]] to refer to high-ranked individuals' junior aides. In the [[Ages of Reclamation|9th Age of Reclamation]], a young [[Sangheili Major|Major]] named [[Tam 'Lakosee]] served as a Steward to [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]], [[Fleetmaster]] of the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]].<ref name="ss9">''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', Chapter 9</ref>
