Heretic Sangheili Minor

The Heretic Elite Minor is a rank on the Heretic Elite Society (Faction).

Physical and Role Description

Heretics Elite Minors are denoted among the other Elites by their Brown Heretic armor. They often lead Lances of Heretic Grunts.

They are fearless warriors that ensured that their jobs are done well. They were the main enemies in the level The Arbiter, but they were also present in The Oracle. Most, if not all, were killed when the Gas mine fell into the depths of Threshold, after the Arbiter cut the cables holding the mine above Threshold.

These Elites were led by Sesa 'Refumee, along with the otherHeretics castes.

It's possible some were part of Sesa 'Refumee's Artifact Retrieval Group, and believed in what he spoke about after the Oracle informed him of the true purpose of the Halo array.

Others may have heard his words elsewhere, and came to believe as well. Whatever the case, they all fought against the Arbiter and the Special Operations Elites sent into the mine to silence the heresy.

When the Arbiter and a Phantom took to the skies, Minor Elites patrolling the station by way of Heretic Banshee continued to battle against them, but were ultimately put down. After the cables were cut, none seemed to be willing to give up on their beliefs and continued to fight, despite the fact that they most likely knew they were going to die one way or another.

It has been assumed that all survivors from both the Flood infestation and the Elites sent to quell their group perished after the mine fell into Threshold.

Trivia

• They are one of the least used Bipeds in the Halo trilogy, as they only appear on two levels; the Arbiter and the Oracle in Halo 2.
