A Brute Chieftain. Jiralhanae Chieftains are the highest rank not only within the Covenant, but within Jiralhanae society in general, ruling over a clan of their kin. They use might comparable to Lekgolo to crush their foes, and deploy hordes of their Covenant pawns to cover any expanses their Gravity Hammers can not reach.
