- "On the blood of our fathers. On the blood of our sons."
- — Sangheili Ultra's mantra.
Ultra is the highest regular rank among the Covenant's Sangheili warriors and later those of Thel 'Vadam's Covenant faction.
Description
Sangheili Ultras command specific operations, serving as field officers. They are subordinate to Zealots, Field Masters or Shipmasters. They are sometimes deployed on high-priority missions, often alone. For example, Ultras are known to command Scarab assault platforms.[1] However, they often engage in open battle.[2][3]
Ultras wear pearlescent armor with higher-than-average shield strength. Their armor has red markings and a crested helmet similar to that of the Sangheili Councilors.[2] In combat, Sangheili Ultras typically wield plasma rifles, though they also commonly use plasma repeaters and concussion rifles. Ultras are sometimes seen with energy swords in close combat.
