I just did a quick search of the Elites lifespan, which is 300 years max, which is crazy. What's even more crazy is that the arbiter is not even 100 years old yet, which means he's still in his prime.
He was also a very smart fleet master. He knew how dangerous the flood was and that's why he called every ship to get away from the halo to quarantine it. (Guess how that went)
The Huragok are Forerunner created biological super computers. They are essentially slaves that’s why PNW compared them to equipment. They aren’t there by choice.
There's so many cool notable Elites in Halo, some of my favourites have to be: Ripa 'Moramee: The Arbiter before the one we see in Halo 2 onwards (Thel 'Vadam), he would become Arbiter following his failed attempt to overthrow his clan on his homeworld of Decided Heart and imprisonment in the Weeping Shadow of Sorrow penitentiary. known for his very short temper and open rejection of Sangheili cultural norms, such as activating an energy sword and then sheathing it without killing someone, he was killed in Halo Wars 1 on the Shield World 0459 or Etran Harbourage, also known as Trove. Xytan 'Jar Wattinree: An absolute behemoth of a Sangheili, standing roughly 11ft 6in when in his armour, Xytan was the only Imperial Admiral that humanity ever encountered, while Supreme Commander (The rank that Thel had before becoming an Arbiter) was a very prestigious rank in the Covenant, Imperial Admiral was the pinnacle of what could be achieved, Xytan would eventually pose a potential risk to the Prophets since Xytan easily lead half the Covenant fleet so they deployed him the furthest reaches of Covenant controlled space. Sadly Xytan died to a UNSC Nova Bomb, which was taken from Reach. Thel 'Vadam: Once known as Thel 'Vadamee, Thel was a Supreme Commander who lead some of the most successful conquests for the Covenant, destroying 7 human worlds, Bountry, Alluvion, Mesa, Estuary, Kroedis II, Greydowns and finally Reach, killing over a billion humans and destroying 123 UNSC vessels, ultimately he would fail to prevent Installation 04 from being destroying by the Master Chief, which would result in him being branded as a heretic (Also literally branded with the Mark of Shame on his chest) and being sentenced to death, however the Heirarchs, Prophets of Truth, Regret and Mercy gave Thel the choice to become Arbiter, to which Thel took their offer. Thel 'Vadam would then go on to be a key member in the Great Schism and be the one to kill the Prophet of Truth on Installation 00, also known as the Lesser Ark.
Xytan', Fal' Chavamee, Jakal', Rtas, Thel', Ripa' Moramee, Just to name a few. I gotta say without a doubt, Fal' Chavamee was genuinely a monster among Sangheili. The fact that "The Duel" was made canon is even more terrifying to know ho powerful a singular Sangheili can get. Xytan is also powerful and impressive but, Fal' he was a monster.
8:35 thats something they invented but the original desing is pretty different, the orginal swords had the same shape but were made out of metal that was heated so much it could cut like a butter through organic matter and over time the desing was modified until it became the energy sword that uses plasma instead of metal.
At the time of the war between the Elites and Prophets, the elites would use a heated metal version of the energy sword called a "burn blade." Hot enough to cut through armor, but wouldn't cauterize the wounds.
20:47 yeah this happened to a friend of the Arbiter from the main games Thel'vadum(ee) im his recent ywars as a zealot on of his best friends saw that the prophets contradicted their strategies and plans among them (this due to the the porphet of Regret and Truth being rivals and having pretti different visions, i even dare say Regret was a fan of the elites) and decided they were wrong and attempted to kill Truth wich resulted on Thel killing him
(Star wars yuuzhan vs halo) Elite: DEMON!!! vong: HERETIC!!! (vong in star trek ) Borg: Resistance is futile Vong: ABOMINABLE INTELLIGENCE!!! Imperium of man: STOP STEALING MY RACISM AND MY LINES!!!!
It was way worse than just killing them in a cut scene. Jul was hyped up in a side story mode in the halo 4 that was being released slowly over time then killed off in the intro cut scene of halo 5. So people who never played that side story in halo 4 just saw a randomly elite leader killed in the intro for halo 5.
There is a channel called GammaCompanyMark who has made some video breakingdown halo ships, you might like those kind of videos Also PancreasNoWork has a very good video about all the generations of spartans
That Halo Legends episode with the lady Elite has a ton of artistic liberty. When the characters are chillin they have their mandibles completely closed which kinda makes it look like they have mouths similar to humans. We only ever see Han being civil so she doesn't have a scene where she has all four jaws distinguishable from one another. The other female Elites we've seen appear similar to the males, just a little smaller generally and with a more angular face. And yes they can have deeper voices.
30:46 Yes. Yes it is. There was a Master Chief skin for... Sledge I think his name was? Russian Badger has a video showing it off, if I remember correctly. Edit: I prefer FMA: Brotherhood myself. The original is good, definitely still worth a watch (especially up to the divergence point, because Brotherhood kindof glosses over a lot of stuff very quickly that had more time in the older anime adaptation) but there's a lot of specific things I think Brotherhood does a little bit better. Namely, I like the final arc and how everything fits together like one gigantic puzzle. The original anime adaptation still has some peak moments, though, even toward its finale. Both are very emotional, but with a different focus and specific tone, though the idea set up on the literal first page of the manga still holds to the end of both: nothing is gained without sacrifice. Nothing.
Ok, so the thing to know about grunts are, they are built like gorillas, just small, and while they will try to run away, if cornered, they go into "murder-death-frenzy-kill" mode and can rip a human apart, or they will pull out to plasma grenades, activate them, and attempt to suicide bomb their pursuer.
as far as being good at war, there is 2 candidates int he covenent that can give the Elites some shade: first is the Brutes, who use simple but very effective tech for something not forerunner-based and are physically superior to elites (though way less disciplined to the point that if it wasnt for the Covenant, they would have nuked themselves to extinction), and the Lekgolos (more known as Hunters), who fought against the covenent so hard on the ground that only the threat of being glassed from orbit got them to surrender (sicne they had no answer to that), as they even managed to send an Arbiter to his grave, and that was BEFORE they had armors designed for them (they just used rocks as armor when they needed to fight). While the Elites HATE the brutes for their lack of discipline, there is a whole lot of respect between hunters and elites as they see eachother as great warriors (and in fact the hunters mostly sided with the elites during the great schism at least at the start of it). Shows the respect between eachother even more that its the elites that designed the armor that hunters use
I mean, someone can correct me if I'm wrong. The average human lifespan ages ago used to be like 50 or 60, accounting for all the diseases, lack of proper medicine to treat injuries and infections, wild animal's, and human pvp. So the sangheili having a 30 year lifespan in their early stages isn't too surprising
for some how arbiter faction improve their ships and military tactics far better when they where still part the covenant I can also understand why ONI keep trying to sabotage the sword of sanghelios do it just improve them more so I think they should rethink their plans but still i love the sword of sanghelios and their lore it self i just wish we got more story and gameplay
Look into the Jiralhanae next plus i don't get the hate on the banished. Its a bunch of ex-covenant deciding now that the Covenant are gone... the galaxy being weakened and war torn perfect opportunity to do some warlord shit take over and rule do piracy raid armories and stock piles and take those of the worlds population who willingly join as more numbers. More or less
Honestly I think the Banished are a perfectly fine idea. Not all of the covenant races would just set down arms. There's a lot of people that have spent ages fighting war after war, and a large number wouldn't want to just stop because their bosses say so- especially since their bosses are all either killed or Flood food now. The ENTIRE Covenant High Command was on the capital ship, more or less, and if you've seen the end of Halo 2 into the beginning of Halo 3? Yeah. Yeah they're *gone* gone.
The issue with the banished is that they are being hyped up as a greater threat than the covenant ever was, an empire 10 times the size of the covenant, an unstoppable army. But they're not, they're the covenants version of the insurrectionists, and like the innies, they have limited resources, limited numbers, and cannot win a straight up fight. Now if they made the banished like that, where yeah, they're a major fucking threat cuz they're like seven warships and attendant troops sure that be something, but to say they are bigger than the covenant ever was and such a great threat that the covenant couldn't even stand up to them, well that's just an asspull
@@Jonnyg325Adding to this point, I feel like the Banished kinda are wasted potential, in the sense that, compared to covenant, there aren't that many differences. Mostly talking about Infinite, but comparing 90% of the Banished roster to Halo 3s enemies, they basically look the same and function the same. It's especially dumb considering Halo Wars 2 had amazing designs that are almost entirely absent beyond vehicles and Brutes.
@@Jonnyg325 To be fair, I've only ever played the original Halo Wars (as-in, of the games that have connections to the Banished, so I haven't played Halo Wars 2 or Infinite)- but that makes them sound like the First Order. Which I'm not fond of. If they're actually claimed to be something the Covenant couldn't beat, then *why didn't we hear about them sooner* is the question I have. The obvious answer is: they didn't exist yet. The other answer is: it's just a bullshit asspull to make the next threat always bigger than the last, even when it makes literally zero sense.
@@JetBalrog I feel like its not that the Banished could beat the covenant directly if both went full force (else no reason the Banish wouldnt have just done it), more that they were strong enough to survive being annihilated especially as the covenant also had humans to deal with (and also handily explains why the covenant, an alliance of MANY races with a tech edge to boot, didnt manage to squash humanity like a bug: they had more than humanity to worry about). That, and the Banished were more subversive untilt hey were the dominant force in the galaxy: not something raw military might can really deal with. Meanwhile Atriox was very busy swaying members of the covenant to his side, probably helped with his complete disregard of the specie of those that join him (up to an including humans). Meaning that the banished werent an outside threat so much as they were a cancer on the covenant, able to elude their full wrath constantly while at the same time growing and growing at the expanse of the covenant
@@TheLegitWeebs If/When you get to play through Halo (presumably MCC), do yourself a favor and leave Reach for last, otherwise you lose a lot of the impact of the ending, and not just because it's Halo's Cadia (normally that'd be a spoiler but not only is the Fall of Reach one of the earliest known bits of lore, the whole Halo Reach ad campaign was "From the beginning, you know the end")
Halo species have their own name. But Covenant gives special designation accord to their roles or habillities.. Sanghelli (Elites) Jiralhanae (Brutes) Unggoy (Grunts) Kig-Yar (Jackals) and (Skrimmishers: special superior class of kig yar. stronger, faster, more loyal and smart) Lekgolo (hive worms cappable for diferent tasks and unit forms.

I just did a quick search of the Elites lifespan, which is 300 years max, which is crazy.
What's even more crazy is that the arbiter is not even 100 years old yet, which means he's still in his prime.
He was the youngest elite to ever achieve the rank of supreme leader
He was also a very smart fleet master. He knew how dangerous the flood was and that's why he called every ship to get away from the halo to quarantine it. (Guess how that went)
Arbiter: y'all thought I was about done? Sike! The game has just started homie, I'm staying on top.
The Sangheili, the only alien race I would ever dare say is equal to humanity in the birthright to ruling the stars
Sangheili and humanity shall rule together

The original just hit harder emotionally.

You can play as an Elite on co-op In halo 3 and in halo 2 there are a few missions you can play as an Elite
The only xenos i like more than humanity.

If you like good alien lore check out mass effect
Another series I've gotta get into for sure. Have the games planned for a future stream.
you know it's very sutel but i think this pancrease guy may really like the elites
