This article is based on canon information, but the article's title is conjectural and/or uses descriptions as the title, as there is currently no official name for the subject.

The Heretic Sangheili Minor was the basic Heretic Sangheili rank attainable for Sangheili serving in Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction.^[1]^[2] They were distinguished from Sangheili belonging to the Covenant by their bronze-colored armor and the fin-like protrusions attached to the back of their armor. Like their Covenant counterparts, they often led small groups of Heretic Unggoy.^[1]^[2]

Overview[edit]

Previously part of the Covenant's artifact retrieval group, the Heretic Sangheili Minors were fearless warriors led by Sesa 'Refumee, along with the other heretic castes. They assisted 'Refumee in fortifying the their base of operations by adding Eeo'Pimu-pattern Shades as well as providing aerial patrols with their Drailaac-pattern Banshees.

Most, if not all, were killed when the Gas mine fell into the depths of Threshold, after the Arbiter cut the cables holding the mine above Threshold.^[1]^[2]

Gameplay[edit]

Heretic Minors are the easiest Heretics to deal with (other than Heretic Unggoy). They are equipped with Covenant Carbines, or Plasma Rifles, and may on rare occasions wield energy swords.^[1]^[2]

Heretic Minors may make any of several tactical errors, such as running forward into enemy fire, or walking into an ally's line of fire. Most Minors will stand still while firing, which can give the player time to attack. They will often be found unaware of the player's approach.

-Heretic Minors are the easiest Heretics to deal with (other than Heretic Unggoy). Mostly found wielding [[Covenant Carbine]]s, [[Sentinel Beam]]s, or [[Energy Sword]]s, Heretic Minors are relatively easy to take down. With the Carbine, they will fire one shot at a time, making them vulnerable between attacks. With the Sentinel Beam, they will fire in shorter bursts than a [[Heretic Elite Major]].
-Heretic Minors will make several tactical errors, such as running forward into enemy fire, or walking into an ally's line of fire. Most Minors will stand still while firing, which can give the [[Arbiter (Character)|player]] time to attack the Minor. Heretic Minors are common and will often be caught off-guard. They will often be found walking away from the Arbiter, or unaware of his approach.

-*They are one of the least seen bipeds in the Halo trilogy, as they only appear on two levels; [[the Arbiter]] and the [[Oracle]] in [[Halo 2]], just like the Heretic Grunts.
+{{Ref/Sources}}
-*It is possible that some survived due to the multiplayer map [[Burial Mounds]] being referred to as a Heretic base.
-*It's possible some were part of [[Sesa 'Refumee]]'s Artifact Retrieval Group, and believed in what he spoke about after the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Oracle]] informed him of the true purpose of the Halo array. Others may have heard his words elsewhere, and came to believe as well. Whatever the case, they all fought against the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] and the [[Special Operations Elites]] sent into the mine to silence the heresy.
