"Victory is secured, not from the throne, but from the front lines."
— Sangheili General's mantra.

A Sangheili General is a Sangheili rank in the Covenant. This rank appears to be the Sangheili equivalent of the Brute War Chieftain. The armor of a Sangheili general is available as an armor permutation for Sangheili players in Halo: Reach.

Role

Sangheili Generals perform a role very similar to Jiralhanae Chieftains. Some will aggressively rush the player with Energy Sword drawn, while others make use of heavy weapons such as the Fuel Rod Gun, Plasma Launcher, and Concussion Rifle. They are often found overseeing important tactical locations, or leading large groups of soldiers into battle. While they are stronger than Sangheili soldiers of most other ranks, they are somewhat more reckless; if their shields are taken down, they tend to ignore the fact and continue with their assault.

Sangheili Generals have similar roles as Field Masters and Shipmasters, except that they are more common, and use heavier weapons such as the Fuel Rod Gun more often than Energy Swords, however aren't as elegant when using them compared to the Zealot class. They have only been encountered during the Battle of Reach.

Armor

The Sangheili General's armor is similar in design to that of a Sangheili Honor Guardsman, although there are notable differences. A large horn-like ornament protrudes from the front of the helmet. Ornamental patterns run along the helmet, shoulder pauldrons, and cuirasses.[1]

Trivia

  • The Sanghelli General's armor permutation is available if the player reaches the rank of Major in Halo: Reach.
  • Given the color of a General's armor, it could be possible that Zealots from the other games are in fact all of the General subclass.
