Jiralhanae Major
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:FactOrFiction Template:Covenant Rank Infobox
Brute Major is an elevated rank for Brutes of the Covenant. These veteran Brutes are stronger and smarter than their younger counterparts, and have been given the right to wear basic armor. This armor also makes them harder to kill.
Combat
These brutes usually carry Brute Plasma Rifles, Covenant Carbines, and Brute Shots. They are usually seen commanding less experienced Brutes, and they are more aggressive and when going berserk. It is best to try and kill them using a Carbine, Energy Sword, M6C Magnum, Sniper Rifle, or their own weapon: the Brute Shot, since they have more stamina then their counterparts and don't use shields. Like all Brutes, they are vulnerable to head shots and do not regenerate shields like Elites. Also, like most enemies, Brutes can be killed by assassination. This is especially useful when using the Arbiter's Active Camouflage in Halo 2. It is wise to kill the Brute major first to eliminate the enemy with the most potential to kill you.
Halo 3
The Brute Majors in Halo 3 are in clad blue armor and be in between the ranks of Elite Minor Domo and Elite Major Domo.
