Arbiter, Variant (D20 Modern Prestige Class)

Arbiter

The title of Arbiter was the highest possible honor bestowed upon a Covenant Sangheili by the Hierarchs during a time of great need. It is the greatest religious rank of the Sangheili, although the Councilor is considered to have superior political and military status. The Arbiter acts as a sort of field marshal, going on missions for the Prophets and during incidents such as the Taming of the Hunters, the Grunt Rebellion, the Human-Covenant war, and most recently, the threat of the Heretics.

The Arbiter is sent on the most perilous and daunting missions in desperate times of when he is needed which are often tantamount to suicide. In fact on those missions, the Arbiter is expected to die and be revered thereafter as another great martyr of the Covenant on their path to the Great Journey.

(Taken from Halo Nation http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Arbiter)

The Arbiter is a powerful warrior who strikes with terrible fury then vanishes.

“	We are the arm of the prophets but you are the blade. Strike swiftly and we will quell this heresy without incident.	”
—Rtas 'Vadum, Special Forces Commander of the Covenant
