Talk:Arbiter

Creation of the Arbiter

This is interesting, some cool theories, the facts seem to be correct. Personally I like the idea that the elites created the Arbiter and the Prophets (being anal A-holes) took it and controled it.--Omrifere 20:46, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's my theory too.

Infobox

Should that infobox really be here, or at Arbiter (character)? --Dragonclaws^(talk) 22:19, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I say put it on both since all the stuff in it applies to both.--Jack-137 18:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Rank

The Arbiter isn't higher in rank than the Councillors. Who ever changed that is wrong, the rank of Arbiter is only a temporary state. Elites would need leaders that didn't die quite so often as the Arbiters do. Besides, the fact that the Prophets gave it to the disgraced Zealot would mean it's more of a punishments than a honor. --Shch 'Nodotee 19:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Well seeing as how he was tasked directly from the Prophets, they did not give it to him as a punishment, but as a way to git rid of the Heretic Leader. --Gzalzi 08:20, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Well... It is a punishment. The Arbiter is a suicidal hit man. He is meant to complete any task he is givin, with no respect to survival. "these are my elites, thier lives matter to me, yours does not." And he isn't above the councilors, he is bellow the Grunts in the military stand. What the Arbiter is, is a nobal man of sorts, he is seen as a demi god because he is willing to fight to his death,and in the elites' eyes this is a very honorable way to die. So in the Covenant religion, the Arbiter is an honorable position, but in the covenant military, he is cannon fodder.--Lt.O'Brien 04:29, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
