Remind me to make a better bio.
Thel, because he's been in the major games, so most people only know him as the only arbiter.

I wish we had more details on all the other Arbiters. They are really interesting, we don't even know their names. Just a summary of their accomplishments. And we don't even know of all of them, I think.

In Halo 3's development, we were originally going to fight Arbiter Combat Forms in the Cortana level but Bungie scrapped the idea.

That sure would have been interesting, I guess we'd technically be fighting those past Arbiters.

It's called Japanese anime wanking off to Dynasty Warriors-style bullshit.  Remember he spent about 5 minutes gushing out a fountain at the end of his story.

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are
I bet you the one in Halo Wars was the most blinded and hard core of them all

Yes, but not the most intelligent in combat. Cocky and arrogant.
He lost to a defeated opponent, by not finishing Forge off.

And many forget that Thel 'Vadam was the SUPREME COMMANDER of the Covenant Fleet. He was top dog, and had to fight to get there. So I honestly think Thel could beat Ripa in a fair fight. Not just because of the physical prowess he has, but he is WAY more intelligent.

Thel wasn't Supreme Commander of the Covenant. He was a Supreme Commander, and led the Fleet of Particular Justice.

I don't see halo 2/3 arbiter wielding 2 swords

i'ma go with halo wars guy cuz he was cooler overall

He was brutal, and he was very VERY tall.
However he would also be cocky and play with his enemies.

If he had a cool head he'd be one of the greatest warriors of all time.
That Arbiter could have easily killed Forge.

And I hated how Ensemble made the Elites look and act like idiots in that cutscene.

The actual designs were good, but the way they acted was very inaccurate.
An Elite can match a Spartan II, yet in Halo Wars they get destroyed.
They can, but the average Elite is not as skilled and is more cocky than a Spartan. All the Elites that were attacking were minors(yes, supposedly Honor Guards, but really), they were scrubs of the highest caliber.

You think Minors are cocky? I'd disagree.
Higher ranks get cocky, not the bottom ones.


Sangheili are promote based on kills. Thus, it would make more sense that the high ranks are anything but cocky.

You should have kept reading the thread. I later took that statement back.

Or the fact that a Lekgolo colony can assume any form.

Anyone else notice how we haven't actually had a Sangheili referred to by name up until Halo 4?

Regardless, he was still a Supreme Commander
