"On the blood of our fathers. On the blood of our sons."
— Sangheili Ultras' mantra

Ultra is the highest regular rank among the Covenant's Sangheili warriors and later those of the Swords of Sanghelios.

Overview

Sangheili Ultras command specific operations as field officers. They are subordinate to Zealots, Generals, Field Masters, and 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. They sometimes wear unique armor with red markings and a crested helmet similar to that of the Sangheili Councilors.[2] Other Ultras may opt to wear (or are issued) a white version of the standard combat harness. In combat Ultras typically wield plasma rifles, though they also commonly use plasma repeaters and concussion rifles. Ultras often use energy swords in close combat.
