Heretic Sangheili

Heretic Elite
Heretics are Covenant Sangheilis that has rebelled against the Covenant's High Council.

Summary
Heretic Elites are the Elites of the artefact retrieval group led by Sesa Refumee. When Refumee discovered the truth about the Halos, his Elites followed him in the rebellion against the High Prophets. They used the Gas Mine above Threshold as a base, and placed Banshees and at least one Seraph starfighter as air forces to defend the mine. They also set up a makeshift camp on Basis, Threshold's moon.

Appearence
The Heretic Elites has no helmet as normal Elites have. Instead, they have breathing apparatus, to help them in breathing on the mine. They also has four ridges on the back, which presumably contains oxygen.

They're found in three colors: Brown, Gold and Red. Although different color, the brown and gold Heretics has no difference in skills, health or energy shielding. The red color is only woren by the Heretic leader. He also had a jetpack.

They're seen in two levels: The Arbiter and Oracle.

Combat
They're using mostly Carbines and Sentinel Beams, but also Energy Swords and Plasma Rifles (only used by Banshee pilots).

Their energy shield is as strong as a Major Domo's. Note that their shields glows purple instead of blue as the normal Elites use.
