A Steward was a San'Shyuum title in the Covenant. A Steward would serve as a military advisor and even as a bodyguard, if the situation required it, to high-ranking San'Shyuum, such as a High Lord or a Hierarch. Even though Stewards were generally tasked with protecting the San'Shyuum they were assigned to, their superiors were usually better armed than them.[1] Stewards were known to originate from a lower-caste brood that was forever obligated to serve as a subordinate.[2] Stewards were equipped with antigravity belts and armed with pulse rifles.[1] The Stewards donned long, purple robes.[3]
The High Lord of Sacred Relics worked with a Steward during the skirmish at the Planet of Blue and Red in 860 BCE, until the Steward was killed during a Sangheili ambush on the San'Shyuum command station.[4] A Steward later served aboard Vengeful Vitality during the mission to Janjur Qom.[5] Following the Battle of Meridian in 2551, the Prophet of Regret met with two Stewards who revealed the existence of the final home of the Forerunners, as well the location of a portal that led to it.[3]
