Talk:Kig-yar Zealot

I am not convinced the Kig-Yar Zealot actually exists, as we Halopedians know the Sangheili rank. Zhar (the only Kig-Yar possessing the honorific in the entire universe) is far more like a Major as he commands a few Kig-Yar, but must still take orders from a Shipmistress. And if Zhar were truly a Zealot, he would be a much more likely candidate to command the entire vessel and all aboard. Chur'R-Yar (his superior by all accounts) thinks Zhar "wasn't her ideal mate. She would have preferred someone with higher standing in the clans" (Halo: Contact Harvest 94). A Zealot is as high a standing as a regular military Covenant individual can attain, and other than Zhar the Kig-Yar, exclusively belonging to the prestigious Sangheili. I think the author did not name Zhar's rank correctly; I believe him to be a Major at best, and I also think the Kig-Yar Zealot rank actually doesn't exist.
