Obedientiaries (Sangheili: lesser chosen, charged with glory)[2] are a rate of senior personnel employed in the Covenant military - serving as the rough equivalent to the concept of commissioned officers in the United Nations Space Command and Colonial Military Authority.[1][2] Obedientiaries are veteran warriors who have begun to step foot on the path of command, and are thus expected to experience every facet of warfare.[3] A part of this selection process involves those warriors who are able to temper their bloodlust and survive their first battles - with their experiential process expected to see them take on missions requiring cunning and courage in equal measure.[2]
Obedientiary is not an explicit rank, but an overall grouping for a number of ranks and roles found throughout the Covenant and its remnants. The ranks of Major, Officer and Commander all fall within this grouping[1], with the Enforcers of the Banished modelled after the Covenant's obedientiaries to fulfil a similar role.[4]
Obedientiaries may fulfil the duty of officers aboard smaller Covenant starships such as intrusion corvettes.[5] Pilots of Covenant space fighters and dropships such as Seraphs and Spirits were drawn from the ranks of the obedientiaries.[3][6]
