===Prophet of Regret===
''"I shall light the holy rings, release their cleansing flame, and burn a path TO THE DIVINE BEYOND!"'' ~The Prophet of Regret giving a speech that would cause the most devoted of Ecclesiarchs to descend into a weep of envy.

Rash, Violent, Immature, the High Prophet of Regret is an oddity among San'Shyuum in that he indulges in the culture and respect of the Sangheili. Specifically he disobeys the Writ of Union and fights alongside the Sangheili in battle. Despite this he does not go unprotected. His throne has powerful shields that make him nearly invulnerable to attack and Sentinels protect him at all costs.

===The Arbiter===
''"My life matters not, only my skill in battle and the amount of terror I put in my foes would my death be forgiven"'' ~The Arbiter's Creed, recited before a battle.

A highly skilled but dishonoured Elite, called The Arbiter when translated from the Covenant's common tongue, this once respected Supreme Commander is now shamed and must bear the weight of his title. It is required that any Arbiter must die in battlefields or missions to seek redemption in death. Clad in ritualistic armor in the coloring of silver, that is equipped with a ancient cloaking field which are then blessed from the sacred language and wards of the Holy Forerunners. He would then be gruesomely marked with the mark of shame, feeling all the pain, misery and shame he has bought to the Covenant. Showing no pity nor mercy, The Arbiter uses his skill of over a thousand battles and a hundred wars to slaughter and kill any enemy that stands in his way.

===Jiazah 'Thogamee===
''"Afraid of a little thunder, blight? Then crawl underneath your wretched hole, for the thunder will strike you DEAD!"'' ~Jiazah 'Thogamee to Imperial Lord Algaezy Calriso

The Supreme Grandmaster of the Ki-psyniotics and the Supreme Lieutenant of ''Darchron's Eternal Crusaders'', clad in a ritualistic silver armor of archaic origin and armed with an equally ornamental energy sword called ''Blight's Edge''. Jiazah 'Thogamee made his infamy throughout both Heltorous and Albameous sectors for his his mastery over Ki-psyniotics, so much so that he makes it an art-form. According to some Imperial reports, during a Chaos siege, Jiazah 'Thogamee manage to completely alter his Warp flow, so much so that he completely sucked the Warp powers like a "Psykic vampire" out of Chaos Champion, Alkazon the Lier, turning the Chaos Champion into a shriveled old man before being ripped apart by the Supreme Grandmaster himself.

===Rtas 'Vadumee===
''"Shipmaster! They outnumber us three to one!"- "Then it is an even fight. All cruisers, fire at will! Burn their mongrel hides!"'' ~A Sangheili tactical officer and 'Vadumee, just before the battle of Installation 00.

Leader of the entire Spec-Ops division and ship master of the ''Shadow of Intent'' and de-facto commander of the ''Fleet of Retribution'', Rtas Vadumee or more commonly known to his troops and enemies as "Half jaw" has seen multiple wars, some of which can drive even the most harden veteran into insanity. Mastering every weapon in the Covenant arsenal, even the brutish and crude Jiralhanae weapons, as well as being the most skilled Spec-Ops Commander to date. Rtas Vadumee has been known to be so skilled in the Energy Sword that he once challenged and won against two Dark Eldar Succubi from the Poisoned fang Kabal in a Duel over the Planet Bushurn III, to protect his men from being stolen away by the alien witches. It is said he lost part of his jaw after a clash with another Sangheili who has been infected by the Great Parasite, a long time ago.

===Tartarus===
[[File:Concept-Tartarus-Crop.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Tartarus in all his [[Awesome|Mohawk Glory.]]]]''"*Growls* Your head would make a good trophy Angelos, *Sniffs* and your flesh would fill the bellies of my brothers"- "Then hurry up and take my flesh if you so need it Xeno, but I warn you that I won't go down easily"- "With pleasure"'' ~Chieftain of the Jiralhanae Tartarus and Chapter Master of the [[Blood Ravens|Blood Ravens]] [[Gabriel Angelos|Gabriel Angelos]], before their fight on Hyphurus III...what an [[Asdrubael Vect|Ass]].

Often called in formality as the Chieftain of the Jiralhanae, Tartarus possesses skill and power unlike anything fought in the Covenant, strong, arrogant, brutish but cunning, Tartarus uses dirty tricks to fool his enemies into making a fatal mistake. Shielded by an Energy Barrier unlike anything seen by the Imperium, this shield grants him all but immunity to all but the most powerful Imperial Weapons, vulnerable to only a very few weapons. Armed with but a single Ancient Gravity Hammer called "Fist of Rukt" by his soldiers, this old but very powerful weapon was reported to create vortexes and miniature black holes as it manipulates and uses the power of gravity. He was also known as the king of assholes, and in a place where leaders would kill other leaders for the [[lulz|lulz]] and where supposed "Friends" would send your entire family to death because it is funny, that is saying something.

===Dadab===
''"Preach, yes, a good thing! But sometimes me head says that too much preaching can leave the rest of the runts sleepy..."'' ~Dadab and one of his many "Influential" Speeches...

One of the most influential Unggoy, Dadab may lack the skill or firepower in a battlefield, but his inspiring aspect and influence is enough to change the tide of battles. Garbed in ceremonial white tunic that is more formal then even an average Deacon, and armed with a Legendary Plasma Pistol named "The Call of Balaho", Dadab carries around several Holy Chimes and a Covenant Holy Mural. Even the most humble of Unggoy become something fiercer in the presence of his oratory.  He is one of the best supportive HQ Characters, and could be essential in changing the tide of wars and battles, and might even save someone from certain defeat. Ironically, he is one of the select few in the Covenant who can use his powers for the most part without restraint and free from fear of suffering like the likes of undisciplined  Elites and even Brutes.

The enemy can Overwatch early to gun the Grunt(s) down but cannot Overwatch later on in the phase if they do so. For each Grunt that successfully reaches within 1" of the enemy unit, inflicts an attack as if they were using their Plasma Grenades that automatically hits. The Grunts chosen to assault the enemy are now removed from play, even if they did not reach the enemy.
