Sangheili
The Sangheili, known to humans as Elites, are a saurian species of strong, proud, and intelligent warriors, as well as skilled combat tacticians. The Sangheili are named after their home planet, Sanghelios. Due to their skill in combat, the Sangheili have formed the military backbone of the Covenant for almost the entirety of its existence. They had a very strong rivalry with the Jiralhanae, which finally boiled over into open hatred during the Great Schism, and the conclusion of the Human-Covenant war.
Called elites by the UNSC for a reason. Skilled in combat, proud, strong, intelligent, and competent combat tacticians; Sangheili have formed the Covenant military for its entire existence. Usually deployed as Officers or Shipmasters, Sangheili are always found surrounded by multiple lower ranking Covenant units and are always seen leading squads of Grunts or Kig-Yar.
