| A '''Heretic''' is someone who has grievously offended the leadership of the [[Covenant Empire]], branded not only a traitor, but an unholy blight on the universe that must be wiped out as soon as possible to protect the Covenant from their taint.
| | '''Heretic''' may refer to the following: |

| ===List of Known Heretics===
| | *'''[[Heretics]]''' - The outcasts of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. |
| *[[Fal 'Chavamee]] was named a Heretic for his refusal to accept the [[Covenant religion]]. As a result, his wife [[Han]] was executed, and after 'Chavamee and a high-ranking Elite named [[Haka]] died by each others' hand in [[The Duel|a duel]], 'Chavamee's rank of [[Arbiter]] was changed from a gloriously honourable rank of prestige to a rank granted only to Elites who have disgraced themselves, that they might regain their honour in death by undertaking suicidal, yet important missions for the good of the Covenant. | | *'''[[The Heretic]]''' - The first level of ''[[Halo 2]]'', composed entirely of cutscenes. |
| *Upon learning that the [[Human]] species had been chosen to be the [[Reclaimer]]s of the [[Forerunner]]s' legacy, the [[Prophet of Truth]], in order to protect the current status of the Covenant, and therefore his own personal power, declared that the entire species was an affront to their gods and should be eradicated. Thereafter, Humans were referred to as Heretics by the Covenant because of this claim. | | *'''[[Heretic (level)]]''' - A map in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Mythic Map Pack]] DLC. |
| *[[Sesa 'Refumee]], leader of an artifact retrieval team, found the [[Forerunner]] [[Monitor]] [[343 Guilty Spark]] floating in the wreckage of [[Installation 04|Halo]], and discovered through conversation with him that the true purpose of the [[Halo Array]] was to wipe out all life in the galaxy, not to help true believers ascend to a higher plane of existence. Thereafter, 'Refumee and [[Heretics|his soldiers]] began an open rebellion against the Covenant, which would have been grounds enough for the label of Heresy, but he also openly preached that the [[Great Journey]] was a lie, resulting in the creation of an Arbiter (see below) for the specific purpose of silencing him. | | *'''[[The Heretic (Machinima Series)]]''' - The prequel to [[The Codex]]. |
| *[[Thel 'Vadamee]], the commander of the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], failed to prevent the destruction of a Halo ring by the [[Master Chief|Demon]]. This failure was deemed Heresy, and he was branded with the [[Mark of Shame]] and sentenced to death. However, the [[Hierarchs]] of the Covenant chose to name him the latest successor to the rank of Arbiter instead of simply killing him, that he might regain his honour and serve the Covenant further. | |
