| '''Deacon''' is a [[Covenant]] title. As the name suggests, a Deacon is used for religious reasons rather than combat. A Deacon is sent to help reinforce the spirituality of ships in which not much is present. They are taught in the religion of the Covenant and work to increase faith in others. Deacons are also learned in the "Sacred Glyphs" that the [[Forerunners]] use in their machines. Deacons command more respect than the rank and file Grunts, but are still held in low esteem. They still do not command as much authority as even a minor Jackal and so it is unlikely that they minister to any of the other races. They look like Grunt Ultras but wear what appears to be uniform or dress<ref>Halo Wars</ref>. A Kig-Yar [[Ship Master|shipmistress]], named Chur'R-Yar, was tempted to lose a Deacon named [[Dadab]] "out of an airlock", if not for his ability to communicate with the [[Huragok]] ''[[Lighter Than Some]]''.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Deacons are mentioned in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'' , ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'' and ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''. The [[Unggoy]] [[Dadab]] and [[Pipit]] are the only known named Deacons. However, there are presumed to be many more, due to Dadab mentioning the group that he had studied with to gain the title.
| |
| *It is added that a Grunt becoming a Deacon is very rare, presumably due to a Grunt's low intelligence and sometimes insincere belief in the "[[Great Journey]]". Therefore, it is odd that Deacons are included in [[Halo Wars]] as upgrades for Grunt squads. They "inspire" the other Grunts, resulting in the lance inflicting higher damage. However, because there is one per lance, it contradicts the prior rarity of Grunts becoming Deacons, meaning that it is more than likely that this is just to enhance gameplay and is regarded as non-canon.
