Wouldn't it be cool

If there was a Zealot Councillor, that was the lead political and military figure of all the Elites? Just felt like putting the idea out there --Justin Time 07:34, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Highest Rank Arbiter?

Not going to use this then?

It can be assumed An Arbiter is the Highest rank an Elite can have(though they aer appointed). -- 67.82.160.199 15:57, 26 December 2006

I'd say not, since, although it's a great honor to be the Arbiter, AFAWCT they're only appointed in times of great need, and the Elites (probably) need to have a leader other than the prophets, because of the way their society works, and it's meant to be a punishment for deeds as great as letting one of the Halos be destroyed. I'd say he isn't a high rank because he probably does't have ANY rank, and instead it's a position of power aside from their usual system. Guesty-Persony-Thingy 16:21, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, while they might not be higher than Councillors; they are not neccesarily just appointed on those punished for great acts of incompetence. This last Arbiter was the only one we know was held on trial for his incompetence before he became the Arbiter. Maybe the others were just specially efficient Zealots or such which were appointed the rank in a time of need. Maybe the rank is separated from the rest of the system, seeing how it's an appointed one, but if it weren't I'd say it's above Zealot and below Councillor.--High Seraph 04:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, every single one of them has died in the line of duty, and, AFAWCT, been appointed for the dual purposes of serving and doing something special, and dying. G^üé_ߣ^¥-∏_éҐ^∫ø_ñ¥-^†ħ_îИ^g¥ 04:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I say that Councillor is the highest POLITICAL rank. Councillors get training in military when they get that political rank, or even during the process of getting it. Arbiter is like a sub-rank. It is just like any other very very high rank, except it is appointed. I mean, the rank Councillor is gained by political experience/military experience, or both. But the Arbiter is appointed by the Prophets, the wisest creatures we have seen so far, not a mere kill-count. (I am NOT saying that I don't like Councillors.) Imagine a field with two Councillors, two Major Elites, and the Arbiter against some brutes. Who would you trust the most? -Just a guest.

Honor Guard Councilor

Why does that Councillor Elite have Honor Guard parts on his legs and arms? I also seen this Councillor while I was playing Halo 2. User:Joshua 029

That's the Honor Guard Councilor, it's a glitch in the game. --Shch 'Nodotee 15:16, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

this pic seems to be from halo:CE

Councillors weren't in Halo: CE. Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 15:47, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

That is correct, and I took that pic on The Greeat Journey, while the Elite was in the Jail Cell. I also I am wonder why the heck you uploaded another copy of this with random MS paint scribblings on it. --Dojorkan 12:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

New Pic

File:'Nodotee.JPG

I see you used my pic for the new one of the Councillor, which is okay be me. If you want i've got a ton more images of elites(mostly councillors/zealots), i can upload them if you like. --Shch 'Nodotee 03:15, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Overwatch

I'm now watching this page and all other elite pages. Making sure no more mistakes are being written, like the Arbiter rank mistake.

But shouldn't you first prove beyond reasnable doubt that Arbiters are not higher than Councillors in hierarchy? I mean, take it out of the page for futher discussion is understandable, but to edit everything else?--High Seraph 02:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Elite Councillors in the level Uprising?

OK, i'll be as simple as possible. In the ending cutscene, the arbiter said that the councillors were murdered by the brutes. Except I don't remember the arbiter running into any councillor corpses. Now the only explanation for this is that the dead elite minors found in the beginning of the level were in fact the elite councilors. Proof of that would be that sometimes you can hear the brutes talking about the councilors. The fact that the corpses are minors is answered by the fact that the covenant race of the lowest rank is the only dead rank found. This can be because bungie would like the person to guess their rank (not likely), it takes time to put details in the bodies (probably not), or they feel that as long as the player knows that an elite died, the rest of it doesn't matter (most likely). The fact that only the race with the lowest rank is the only corpse found is further answered on the High Charity level where dead jackal minors are found by beam rifles which are only carried by Jackal snipers. Can someone please agree with what I am saying and answer back with what your thoughts are on this topic? --HaloRocks! 03:35, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
