'''Supreme Commander''' is a title used in the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]]. The title has only been known to be issued to [[Sangheili]] commanding large [[Covenant fleet|fleets]] and armadas. Despite the high status of the title's name, a Supreme Commander is likely lower in rank than [[Imperial Admiral]], which appears to be the overall head of the navy. | |||
For most of the Covenant's history, this rank was held by the Sangheili race until the [[Great Schism]], when the [[Jiralhanae]] assumed most of the Covenant's higher ranks. | For most of the Covenant's history, this rank was held by the Sangheili race until the [[Great Schism]], when the [[Jiralhanae]] assumed most of the Covenant's higher ranks. | ||

When commanding a fleet, Supreme Commanders sometimes wear purple armor featuring an ornate helmet; at least one Supreme Commander, [[Thel 'Vadamee]], chose to wear a purple-colored cloak as part of his ensemble. It is likely that this non-standard armor serves a ceremonial purpose.<ref name="Voyage">'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor''</ref> | When commanding a fleet, Supreme Commanders sometimes wear purple armor featuring an ornate helmet; at least one Supreme Commander, [[Thel 'Vadamee]], chose to wear a purple-colored cloak as part of his ensemble.

However, when Thel 'Vadamee appeared before the Covenant [[High Council]], he sported golden [[Zealot]] armor. This may signify that the cloak is only used when commanding fleets, or that he chose not to wear his cloak before the Council as a sign of modesty. While commanding the ''[[Third Fleet of Glorious Consequence]]'', Supreme Commander [[Luro 'Taralumee]] wore armor that resembled that of most Sangheili Zealots, though it was more ornate, possessing prongs similar to those on 'Vadamee's helmet. | However, when Thel 'Vadamee appeared before the Covenant [[High Council]], he sported golden [[Zealot]] armor.
