Janissary
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
This article is about the Venezian mercenary super soldiers. For the character, see Janissary James.
A Janissary (plural "Janissaries")[1] is a Venezian mercenary super-soldier.[2]
History
Creation
Venezia uses home-grown mercenaries as candidates for their super-soldier program.[2]
Equipment
Janissaries are known to use the ASSAILER-class armor,[3] BOGGART-class armor,[4] CONQUEROR-class helmet with the Banished Red Cornet Command Network Module,[1] and TASKMASTER-class armor.[5]
Roles
While Janissaries allied with the Banished are rarely given with front-line roles, some of them take those roles as the quickest way to gain access to even more augmentation procedures.[6]
Trivia
- The Janissaries were members of the elite infantry units that were part of the Ottoman Empire's army. Ottoman Janissaries ironically share a commonality with Spartan-IIs in being recruited at a young age against their will.

Phew. Get all that? The BOGGART is the first result that didn't result in unnecessary fatalities from design defects. For Banished and independent Grunts it is also a friendly face in an unfriendly galaxy. Friendly for a Grunt, at least."
