The Arbiter is a special rank. In times of need an Arbiter is created to deal with the problem. Some problems the Arbiter has encountered were the Taming of the Hunters, the Grunt Reballion and most recent, the threat of Heresy. The current Arbiter (former Supreme Commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice) dealt with the problem of Heresy. The Prophets expected an early death to this Arbiter but he kept on surviving. His missions were to deal with the Heresy, look for the Sacred Icon(The Index), but by that time he was betrayed by Tartarus and more likely all Brutes. After the betrayal of the Brutes, the Arbiter did quests for the Flood creature Gravemind. The Arbiter's last mission known so far was to look for the Index on Delta Halo. One mission of importance was to stop Tartarus using the Reclaimer(Miranda Keyes)to activate Delta Halo. Forming an unexpected alliance with the Humans, he and Sgt.Johnson worked together and brought down Tartarus. He was last seen in the Control Room of Delta Halo with Miranda Keyes, Sgt.Johnson and 343 Guilty Spark.
