Sangheili Field Marshal

"With this sacrament of blood we journey into the Divine Beyond."

- Sangheili Field Marshall's mantra.

A Sangheili Field Marshall is a Sangheili rank in the Covenant Empire.

The armor of a Sangheili Field Marshall is available as an armor permutation for Sangheili players in Halo: Reach. It is the last armor permutation an Elite character can receive.

Role
The Field Marshall is theorized to be a principal, top-tier rank in the Covenant Army. Their designated role seems to pertain to command of ground forces in specific field operations, such as in widespread battles or invasions. Field Marshalls apparently outrank Sangheili Generals, and may be of a higher position than normal Field Masters. Field Marshalls appear to be Sangheili equivalent of the Brute Army Commander.

Although some facts have been found to say that the Field Marshall is of zealot class as said by Jorge to Halsey in the mission Winter Contingency (level) as Jorge describes the elite encounter. Also the one of the elites was said to look like the leader as said by Jorge as well which probably pertains to the Field Marshall which may indicate it boasts a high rank in the zealot class hierarchy.

Appearance
The Sangheili Field Marshall's armor design is similar to that of most other Sangheili warriors during the Fall of Reach. For example, the Marshall's armor is appears to be a combination of a Zealot and a General in terms of aesthetics and overall design. The helmet is nearly identical to the Zealot helmet, save for two spike-like protrusions at the top of the helmet. The core body piece of the armor is identical to the Zealot armour. The shoulder pauldrons are almost identical in structure and shape as the General's, although the ornamentation is blue rather than yellow. Essentially, as with all other Sangheili warriors' appearances during the Fall of Reach, the Field Marshall's armor has tones and hues of dark violets and blues. The shapes are insectile like Covenant warships, giving it an affirmative appearance of Covenant construction. Overall, the field Marshall's battle attire is less ceremonious and designed for optimum efficiency in battle, while still emulating the traditionally sleek battle dress worn by the Sangheili throughout the Ages.

Trivia

 * In Halo: Reach, Field Marshalls, along with Zealots, are the only Sangheili classes that can not be fought in Firefight.
