'''Heretic Sangheili''' are former [[Covenant]] [[Sangheili]] that rebelled against the Covenant's [[High Council]] during the events prior to the discovery of the [[Installation 05|second Halo ring]].

[[Heretic]] Sangheili are [[Covenant]] [[Sangheili]] that rebelled against the Covenant's [[High Council]] during the events prior to the discovery of the [[Installation 05|second Halo ring]].
==Background==
 
These Sangheili were once part of the artifact retrieval group led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]] on [[Threshold]]'s [[Threshold gas mine|gas mine]]. During an expeditionary patrol, the Sangheili encountered [[343 Guilty Spark|the caretaker of Installation 04]] and were informed of [[Halo Array|Halo]]'s true purpose.<ref name="terminal">'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''', ''[[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)|Terminal Eleven]]''</ref> The Sangheili remained loyal to 'Refumee after this revelation and made the gas mine facility as their base of operations.{{Ref/Reuse|Arbiter}}{{Ref/Reuse|Oracle}} They also set up a makeshift camp on [[Basis]], Threshold's moon. Although most lines of outside communications had been severed by 'Refumee when he came into contact with the Oracle, one Heretic Sangheili, [[Kola 'Baoth]]'s brother, succeeded in sending out scattered messages that detailed newly encountered truths.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-annual-achievements '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Annual Achievements'']</ref> Most, if not all, Heretics on the gas mine perished when the newly appointed [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee [[Raid on the Threshold gas mine|assaulted]] the facility and plunged it down into the gas giant.{{Ref/Reuse|Oracle}}
== Summary ==
 
Heretic Sangheili encountered in [[Halo 2]] are the [[Sangheili]]s of the artifact retrieval group led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]]. When [['Refumee]] discovered the truth about the [[Halo]]s, his Elites followed him in the rebellion against the [[High Prophet]]s, knowing what the Halo Installations would do if they continued [[The Great Journey]]. They used the [[Gas Mine]] above [[Threshold]] as a base, and placed [[Banshee]]s and at least one [[Seraph]] starfighter as an "Air Force" to defend the mine. They also set up a makeshift camp on [[Basis]], Threshold's moon.
 
This camp is a playable multiplayer map, called [[Burial Mounds]].
 
They do what they can to stand out to the rest [[Covenant]], especially [[Elites]].
 
== Rank System ==
 
They have a limited Rank System, consisting of:


==Rank system==
The Heretic Sangheili have a limited rank system, consisting of:
*[[Heretic Sangheili Minor]]s
*[[Heretic Sangheili Minor]]s
*[[Heretic Sangheili Major]]s
*[[Heretic Sangheili Major]]s


== Appearance ==
==Equipment==
Heretic Elites do not wear helmets like their Covenant counterparts, but instead don breathing apparatus to assist in respiration on the Gas Mining facility. Heretic Elites also have four fins on the back of their armor, similar to the traditional armor seen on [[Ripa 'Moramee]]'s clan brothers in ''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]''. Sesa 'Refumee does not share these fins, but instead has a jetpack on his back nearly identical to those used by [[Sangheili Ranger|Elite Rangers]] (''Halo 2'').


 
Heretic Elites can be found in both brown and gold armored variants, as well as the Heretic Leader's personal red-colored armor. Elite who wear gold armor are the equivalent of [[Elite Major]]s with more health and stronger shields, while those with brown armor seem similar to [[Elite Minor]]s.

Heretic Elites can be found in both brown and gold armored variants, as well as the Heretic Leader's personal red-colored armor. Sangheili who wear gold armor are the equivalent of [[Major Domo Elite|Sangheili Majors]] with more health and stronger shields, while those with brown armor seem similar to [[Minor Domo Elite|Sangheili Minors]].

They are only seen in two levels: [[The Arbiter]] and [[The [[Oracle]] (level) | The Oracle]].
 
== Combat ==
[[Image:HereticEliteCarbine03.jpg|right|thumb|186px|Heretic with [[Carbine]].]]
They mostly use [[Carbine]]s, [[Sentinel Beam]]s, and also [[Energy Sword]]s, but are never seen using [[Plasma Grenades]]. [[Plasma Rifle]]s are only used by Heretic Banshee pilots and the Heretic leader. This most likely originates from the fact that the Heretics want to shun the Prophet-given plasma weapons and further themselves from the Covenant's [[Great Journey]].  
 
The energy shields of the Gold Heretics are as strong as a Major Domo's, while the energy shields of the brown ones are as strong as a Minor Domo's. Note that their shields glow purple instead of the blue that Covenant-loyal Sangheili use.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*A glitch causes the [[melee]] attacks of Heretic Sangheili to have little or no effect, unless they are wielding [[Energy Swords]]. However, their melee attacks have a small chance of hitting when standing to the left of the Sangheili.

*The Heretic Sangheili is one of the least used Bipeds, sharing their inactivity with the [[Heretic Unggoy]], in the Halo trilogy, as it only appears on two levels.
*They are only seen in two ''Halo 2'' levels: [[The Arbiter]] and [[The Oracle]].
*In the level [[The Oracle (Level)|The Oracle]] there is an [[Sangheili]] using a [[Needler]], which is odd because they use [[Carbine]]s and [[Energy Sword]]s mostly, this is the only Heretic Elite seen using a Needler and note he only appears a few times, not always.
*A glitch causes the [[melee]] attacks of Heretic Sangheili to have little or no effect, unless they are wielding [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Swords]]. However, their melee attacks have a small chance of hitting when standing to the left of the Sangheili.
*You can kill a Heretic Sangheili by throwing a Plasma Grenade on it while the Mythic skull is active. Once they drop their weapon they charge at you using the sword animation, but will not hurt you. If you have any allies they will shoot the disarmed Heretic.
*A class of Elites known as "Heretics" appear in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', but these are actually just Elites using human weapons, rather than rebels. They only appear in [[Firefight]].
*A class of Elite known as "Heretics" will be appearing in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. Whether they are the same Heretics who appear in ''Halo 2'' (and even what role they play in the campaign at all) has yet to be revealed.
