| :Hm. I was mainly going off of [[Talk:BOB#BOBs and Ranger Commanders|this discussion]] where we were uncertain about whether BOB and Ranger Commander info should be merged. It seemed unclear if the appearance of BOBs should really taken as canonical due to their unusual spawn mechanics. Especially since the Ranger Commander rank didn't exist until Halo 5 and was first applied to the Warzone bosses. (On a side note, the white Zealot in ''Escalation'' being a BOB is also iffy since a drawing error results in it turning into a ''Halo 4'' Zealot on the following page.)

| ::In my opinion, BOBs are an Easter egg. They encompass two kinds of Elites: mostly Ranger Commanders (which have only been identified recently), and white Elites whose canonicity remains uncertain. However, as I pointed out in the BOB article, we have seen a white Zealot in ''Halo: Escalation'', and generally speaking we also know that the color coding is more complicated in the universe than in the games. So what was originally an Easter egg may have been canonized by 343. I won't make much speculation about the white BOBs, but the golden Ranger and the white Zealot are the BOBs that are canon for certain. I remember Grim said something about the color of the white Zealot, but I'll have to find the source.

| ::There is also an interesting fact that Grim mentioned recently, though we already knew it: gold-colored armor means a commanding position. So, it would be logical for a Ranger Commander to wear a golden Ranger harness. [[User:Imrane-117|Imrane-117]] ([[User talk:Imrane-117|talk]]) 20:41, 15 January 2016 (EST)

| Out of curiosity do we have confirmation that the Ranger Commander is actually a rank outside of Warzone or is it just the one title of a BOB image?

| :The title of the image in the Sangheili Waypoint article. is confirmation enough.[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith Venator</span>]] [[File:Mega Blastoise.gif|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Dank Memes</span>]]) 20:51, 15 January 2016 (EST)

| [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-clarity-grace Here's a source] concerning Sangheili armors. It's a Canon Fodder that was released after ''Escalation'' Issue 15, when several people started asking questions on this subject. If I remember correctly, Sith Venator asked a question on the Zealot but he wasn't chosen. In this Canon Fodder, there are two questions concerning Sangheili armors, here are some excerpts:
| |
| | |
| ''Zealots are a military order with their own internal structure and rankings that varied from fleet-to-fleet and even chapter-to-chapter.''
| |
| | |
| ''[...] Sangheili armor is something we plan on discussing more at length, but the short answer is that armor can be found in an incredibly wide variety of styles and colorations, some designated for specific roles and mission objectives, while others stem from more hierarchal-based origins. For example, a Ranger’s combat harness can come in multiple variations, but it worn to perform a specific function. Other harnesses – and even colors to some degree - are more ceremonial in nature. Somewhat complicating the matter is the nature of Sangheili-derived livery choices versus the tendencies preferred by the Covenant specifically.''
