'''Heretic Elite Majors''' are denoted by their golden armor. They serve as commanders to the [[Heretic Elite Minor|Minors]] and the [[Heretic Grunts]]. They also guard places as designated by the [[Heretics (Faction)|Heretics]] leader, [[Sesa 'Refumee]]. It's very likely that the Majors remained inside of the facility they used as a base, patrolling the long and dark hallways of the [[Threshold]] [[Gas Mine]] on foot, while numerous [[Heretic Elite Minor|Minors]] patrolled the outside by way of [[Heretic Banshee]], making the mine almost solid in defense.
==Gameplay==
They are fearless warriors that ensured that their jobs are done well. They were enemies in the level [[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]], but they were also present in [[The Oracle (level)|The Oracle]]. Most, if not all, were killed when the gas mine fell into the depths of [[Threshold]], after the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] cut the cables holding the mine above Threshold.  
Heretic Majors share some properties of a [[Sangheili Major]]: For example, they have the same shield strength. However, they make fewer tactical errors than their Minor counterparts. They are often equipped with [[Type-51 Carbine|Carbines]] and [[Sentinel Beam]]s, with some wielding [[Energy Sword]]s.


However, the [[Prophets]] sent in squads of [[Special Operations Elite]]s and Grunts, accompanied by the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]], to quell the heresy and the group infiltrated the mine and completed their objective. It can be assumed that all of the [[Heretics (Faction)|Heretics]] Majors were killed either by the infiltration group, by the [[Flood]] they released into the facility, or when the cables holding the station were cut by the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]], sending the structure into the depths of Threshold.
