"Indeed, many a prideful chieftain has forgotten who their work should be enriching and have wound up on the receiving end of a Warlord’s personally-fashioned gravity hammer."

— Jeff Easterling on Jiralhanae Warlords.

Jiralhanae Warlords are a class of Jiralhanae Chieftains and Captains serving in the Banished. Warlords have been promoted by Decimus, and later Escharum, for their raw strength, savage lust for battle, and the complete absence of mercy to serve as loyal agents positioned to intercede on the Banished leaders’ behalf to bring recalcitrant packs to heal and direct critical faction operations. Answerable only to Warmaster Atriox and the War Chief, Warlords are feared by many lower-ranking Jiralhanae and hated by Let 'Volir’s troops.

The Jiralhanae Warlord is exclusive to Decimus and can be built at the War Council. Warlords are great against infantry and vehicles, okay against structures, and cannot attack aircraft. In Blitz a Warlord costs 170 energy and features the Siphon ability to steal health from enemies. When either Jerome-092, Douglas-042, or Alice-130, except Commander Jerome defeats the Warlord in a point-blank range, it has a chance to trigger an execution kills. This also works for the Warlord when defeating the Spartans in point-blank range.

Halo Infinite

In Halo Infinite Jiralhanae Warlords are silver-armored Captains or Jiralhanae Chieftains. Warlord-Captains are armed with Heatwaves, while Warlord-Chieftains are armed with Scrap Cannons or gravity hammers. Like other Jiralhanae, Warlords carry spike grenades.

Unlike their normal counterparts, Warlord-Chieftains are equipped with personal energy shields. Their shields, in addition to their armor and substantial health, make them some of the strongest non-boss enemies in the game.
