- "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]
Equipment
Armor
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.
Weaponry
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.
In-Game Information

Unlock: Achieve Warrant Officer.
- Description: On the blood of our fathers. On the blood of our sons.
Trivia

- In Halo 2 and Halo: Reach, all Sangheili encountered become Ultras when the Thunderstorm skull is activated.
- In the level "Floodgate" in Halo 3, the corpses of the Ultras in the crashed cruiser can be infected by the Flood. They will sometimes pick up dropped energy swords lying on the ground. This may seem alarming, but the Flood apparently either do not have animations for the energy sword or are simply not programmed to use it, because they will simply follow the player without attacking. They retain the white-colored armor of the corpses, making them look very distinct from other Flood forms.
- In Halo: Reach, Ultras, despite being a regular rank, is listed as "Elite Specialist" in the post-game Carnage reports.
- In Halo: Reach multiplayer, the Ultra combat harness is made available after the player reaches the rank of Warrant Officer.[4]
