- — Description of the Elite Mercenaries[1]
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] They came from the mercenary Sangheili clans of the Warriors of Malaston, Valorguards of the Chosen, Bloodbrave Guardian of Suban, and Kaepra's Grief.

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).
