Equipment Armor Ĭatherine Halsey: " Zealots? You're certain?" Jorge-052: " Their armor configuration matched." SPARTAN-B312: " Shield strength, too." - Catherine Halsey, Jorge-052, and SPARTAN-B312 during the Fall of Reach. Zealot loyalties remain divided amongst the Covenant successor states, and now exercise less discretion in judging the worthy to join their ranks. Despite still having a combat niche, these Zealots served in political and social leadership positions (at least within Jul 'Mdama's Covenant), filling all roles previously occupied by the San'Shyuum. By 2558, some Zealots continued to serve within various Covenant remnant factions, including those which remained religiously devoted to the Forerunners following the hegemony's collapse. The role had become a more general rank of combat specialization, similar to how Sangheili Honor Guards forsook their original purpose after the Prophets had betrayed them. Īfter their betrayal by the High Prophets, some worshipped the Foreurnners without belief in the Great Journey, while others forsook the religion all together. When deploying into battle, only warriors from within the Zealot ranks, or those seeking to aspire to join them, would be permitted to employ these insertion pods. Artisan-armorers of the Covenant sometimes allied themselves particularly with the Zealot orders, and would produce specialty equipment such as the Suspa Al-pattern drop pod specifically for only the most pious of commanders. History ĭuring the Human-Covenant War, many Zealots were assigned to battlefield duties in order to directly partake in the destruction of a species the Covenant viewed as heretical.
The ministry deployed small teams of Zealots during all significant engagements to locate, analyze, and amass intelligence regarding reliquary sites, as well as to recover Forerunner artifacts or otherwise important data. The Zealots' internal structure, rankings, and equipment varied from chapter to chapter and from fleet to fleet. Some of these chapters traced their lineage back to long before the rise of the Covenant. Within the Ministry existed a number of chapters (such as the Devoted Sentries), many of which adhered to particular interpretations of ancient codes of honor or debt-packs. Unlike the majority of the Covenant's conventional military forces, which fell under the authority of the Ministry of Resolution, the Zealots were a separate group that reported to the Ministry of Fervent Intercession. Sangheili Zealot Assassins are specialists who operate with teams of stealth troopers.
Field Marshals hold supreme authority over Covenant land forces, effectively making them the groundside counterpart to a Fleet Master or Supreme Commander Field Marshals are also occasionally tasked with leading Zealot strike teams. The rank of Field Marshal is exclusive to the Zealot class. Zealots may serve in a variety of command roles ranging from Shipmaster to Supreme Commander. Although all Sangheili males are trained in the arts of combat from a young age, Sangheili believe future Zealots are born with an innate desire to kill. Equipped with advanced armor systems and equipment, this title is almost exclusively used by the most resilient and powerful Sangheili fighters.
Zealots are greatly experienced and unparalleled in combat skill.
We do not question them." - Thel 'Vadamee to Jora 'Konaree " The Path is strict, Jora - it brooks no deviation, no remorse.
