Blackguard Tearful Bishop[edit]

"The faith of the newly converted burns bright enough to consume any truth.[1]"

The Tearful Bishop helmet was available as part of the flighting test for Series 8: Mythic, though was cut from the final release for unknown reasons. The helmet would have been available as part of the Blackguard series of Fractures armor for Halo 3 and Halo: Reach.[1] The helmet would be re-added into the MCC in the November 3 update, but the name was changed to "Blackguard Fallen Equerry", and the cross-shape visor and description were altered.

Rhine[edit]

Main article: RHINE-class Mjolnir

Named the "Rhino" armor in the files, this Halo Online armor set was changed prior to its release in Series 6: Raven as shown by its unused icon images, which display it having no gold, no forearms and different shoulders. This also could mean that Rhine was originally unlockable via the Season 6 Pass.
