Thel 'Vadam wearing the traditional armor of the Arbiter.

As befitting the great honor associated with the title, each Arbiter of the Covenant is issued a unique set of traditional body armor.

Description

Every Arbiter's armor is designed and built to fit their shape and size, but the armor itself always follow an age-old traditional design. Unlike the sleek, glossy armor worn by most Sangheili, the Arbiter's armor is made of a dark silvery-bronze metal and is more akin to a suit of human medieval armor. Notably, it includes a distinctive helmet with a curved hawk-like "beak" covering the face. The armor is secured to the Arbiter's combat suit by blue form-fitting straps.

Technical details

Like the standard Sangheili combat harness, the Arbiter's armor is equipped with an energy shield. It also possesses active camouflage capabilities, but this feature can only be enabled for a limited time, as opposed to the armor of Spec-Ops Sangheili.
