Blademaster is a title used by Sangheili to indicate a Sangheili-ai, a master swordsman.[1] The "-ai" suffix is applied to the surnames of blademasters, an honorific bestowed upon the Sangheili in a ceremony after they choose to dedicate their life to the perfection of their swordsmanship.[2] Blademasters are entitled to wear gilded armor, denoting their master rank.[1]
Toha 'Sumai was one of the preeminent swordfighters of his time, though the aristocratic 'Sumai clan appears to bear the "-ai" suffix in perpetuity; the family's keep and all known members of the clan both hold the honorific.[3] Vul 'Soran, the second-in-command aboard the CAS-class assault carrier Shadow of Intent, is a blademaster, though he lacks the "-ai" suffix.[1] Other notable blademasters include Tel 'Szatulai,[4] Bero 'Kusovai,[2] and Tulum 'Juranai.[5]
