Sangheili Mercenaries, or Elite Mercenaries,[1][2] are the standard low ranking Sangheili mercenaries working for the Banished. While Banished Sangheili are mercenaries in general, higher ranking mercenaries can hold roles such as Honor Guard,[3] or Shipmaster as Let 'Volir did.TEMPLATE ERROR: Template using invalid/disallowed fields: "section"[4]
Overview
While many Sangheili continued to genocidally hunt down and slaughter the Jiralhanae,[5][6] a few were persuaded by Atriox to work for the Banished, as he claimed to have no complicity with Tartarus and the other Jiralhanae who had betrayed and massacred their kind.[7] As such, a small minority of Sangheili have joined the Banished as mercenaries, some of which used their earnings of military resources to fight out disputes with other Sangheili kin on their homeworlds.[8][1] Joining the Banished was frowned upon in Sangheili culture, Let 'Volir's name was notably forever tarnished for working under a Jiralhanae.TEMPLATE ERROR: Template using invalid/disallowed fields: "sectionlinktext", "section"[9]
Operational history
Many of Let Volir's mercenaries took part in the battle between the UNSC Spirit of Fire and the Banished on the Lesser Ark, as Rangers and Honor Guards.[4] Several standard Sangheili Mercenaries were hired by the Banished and fought against the Master Chief during the Installation 07 conflict.[10]

Production notes
With the design of Sangheili in Halo Infinite taking inspiration from Halo 3 and Halo: Reach,[11] the design of the Sangheili Mercenaries bear an almost-identical design to that of a concept art of a Sangheili Minor created by Isaac Hannaford during the development of Halo: Reach (shown below).
