Imperial Admiral is a Covenant Sangheili (Elite) rank.
Summary
The Imperial Admiral[1] is within the Elite ranks, and is extremely high in the Covenant. This rank is given to Elites to control large fleets and armadas. It could be compared to a UNSC Navy Fleet Admiral. Very few ever attain this rank. Usually an Imperial Admiral operates on a high ranking ship (Covenant Flagship) such as an Assault Carrier, Supercarrier, or other powerful capital ships within the Covenant armada.
Many speculate that the imperial admiral commands larger fleets but the truth is that Xytan Jar Watinree unoficially,without permission from the prophets,combined the two seperate fleets out of pure rebellion without a promotion in rank.It is most likely that the Imperial Admiral had originally commandered a single fleet as did the Arbiter before the Great Schism and generally it could be possible that Arbiter would also rebell and combine two fleets to creat an almost full scale rebellion against the prophets had he have been in the same exact situation.Also, if a Halo fan studies the book Halo Ghost Of Onyx more carefully, they will actually notice on page 239 it said "THE FORMER SUPREME COMMANDER" in a paragraph near the bottom of the page (If you can't find it read the whole page over and slowly).The word "FORMER" is refering to an Imperial Admiral/Supreme Commander before Xytan.The Halo Graphic Novel's story line itself is cannon, though when I say story I'm excluding the imaging to go along with the story.The imaging is'nt really trust worthy cannon.One prime example is the New Mombassa story plot.The story-line refering to the event prior to Halo2 is correct but the imaging to creat a clue of what it looked like is generally not cannon.The imaging for the elites in the plot and theme were graphically incorrect as they had pink skin.Even the weapons in that story were almost totally different.Pink plasma swords and plasma rifles that shoot green beams oposed to the white blue plasma sword and blue full automatic machine gunstyle plasma rifles that shoot lightning blue bolts of plasma is totally different.Generally the point is that people believe that the Halo Graphic Novel is the source to look at for the subject.What many don't realize is that the artist were just simply being creative.The primary point is that people believe that just because they saw the supreme commander in violet armour that the imperial admiral and supreme commander are different.Just like the authors used creativity to creat the elites and covenant weaponry in Sunrise Over New Mombassa they just simply used creativity for the FORMER supreme commander (Just to make him look fancier and more awe inspiring) in Last Voyage of The Infinite Succor therefore ruining any true cannon for what a supreme commander might of actually look like. Please think over before editing.
