    8:46 I think it's incorrect to think of the Arbiter as "Covenant Spartans." The Arbiter is a title of religious and political importance specific to the Sangheli (Elites), bestowed upon Sangheli who have been dishonoured in their society. Only one Arbiter can exist at a time (more like the Pope, but not really) and past Arbiters are sent on perilous missions of high importance to the Covenant, so that the Arbiter may gain back some honour in death and completion of the mission. Spartans are "multi-purpose tools" but for highly specialized tasks. You send the Spartans on dangerous missions because they're trained and ready for it. You don't want to send them on suicide missions (unless you have to) because each Spartan is a valuable asset, where one Spartan is worth that of a platoon. The Spartans are very expensive to grow and train.
    Now don't get me wrong. I do see where you drew the parallels. Master Chief is a very different case to Spartans before him. Each mission Chief is sent on is a suicide mission, because it is absolutely required of him for the continuation and success of humanity. The Arbiter is a pariah in both the military and Covenant society. A high-ranking pariah, but an outcast all the same. Spartans are seen as heroes of the UNSC. Maybe not the rest of human society at large, but definitely within the military. It might be more appropriate to see the Arbiter as a "Covenant John-117," and not just a regular Spartan due to the reputation of both characters. Then again, there might not be an appropriate comparisson. Sorry for the long comment.

      Plus the reason the games use names like Brutes,Elites,Grunts etc is to make it easier for players to classify them. Because when you see a Elite you will call them that, not Sangheili especially because Elites are the name of the members of the Covenant.
      You are not going to call a Lion by their scientific name like "Panthera leo" instead you will call them a much easier name like Lion.

      but like, except for people who are trying to flex their lore knowledge, most people just call him Arbiter. It's like complaining that someone calls John, Chief. Because most people just call him Master Chief.

    Lore: A tragic war is going on between humans and a advanced army cult, filled with many species that are manipulated into a false journey. There is also an outbreak of a dangerous virus that is mutilating the aliens and humans into disturbing creatures that are terrifying. But all of this was saved by blue lady and green halo man. Including squid face dinosaur and his civil war allies. Also there was ring planets that was going to be used by alien cult as weapons, but they failed because of green halo man. Halo 4 and 5 won’t be talked about.
