Stalkers are commonly seen acting as spies and bodyguards for [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s, however they have a far more covert role in the [[Covenant]]. On the battlefield, they can function as spies and assassins. Jiralhanae Stalkers often use their [[active camouflage]] to flank and ambush unsuspecting hostile forces. They also use [[radar jammer]]s to confuse enemies, before charging in with [[Type-52 Mauler]]s to finish them off.<ref name="HE145">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 145''</ref> | Stalkers are commonly seen acting as spies and bodyguards for [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s, however they have a far more covert role in the [[Covenant]].

==Operational history== | |||
During the [[Human-Covenant War]] a select group of Stalkers called the [[Bloodstars]] were led by a [[Sangheili]] [[First Blade]] from the [[Silent Blade]] to hunt down the [[Spartan|Demons]].<ref name="R">'''[[Halo: Retribution]]''', ''page 265''</ref> Towards the end of the war several Stalkers participated during the [[Battle of Earth]] and [[Battle of Installation 00]].<ref name="H3"/><ref name="ODST"/> UNSC intel after the war on the Stalker corps was used by the [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]] in the production of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Stalker|Stalker]] variant.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 176''</ref> | |||

Stalkers are easily identified by their gray-colored armor, which possess integrated circuitry for [[cloaking]] in their [[Jiralhanae power armor|power armor]] as well as their cyclops-like helmet with a bright red "eye" light. They often use radar jammers to confuse their enemies, and make heavy use of [[Type-3 firebomb]]s. Their main weapon seems to be the [[Type-25 plasma rifle]], though they are occasionally armed with [[Type-25 Spiker]]s or [[Type-52 Mauler]]s. | Stalkers are easily identified by their gray-colored armor, which possess integrated circuitry for [[cloaking]] in their [[Jiralhanae power armor|power armor]] as well as their cyclops-like helmet with a bright red "eye" light.
