      Swfty no it’s the complete opposite they don’t believe nor care about the journey they were forced to serve the covenant and are use as fodder on the battlefield. They are the most mistreated out of all in halo. Brutes even eat them on the battlefield

    The Arbiter's story technically begins in Halo Reach. He was the Supreme Commander who led the attack on the planet.
    And like he said in Halo 2's prologue, he followed the fleeing Pillar of Autumn to Halo.

      Joshua Folkestad the arbiter was one of the covenant commanders that killed the most humans, he glassed a LOT of planets (including reach) and killed humans by the millions. Hell he would even show up personally to battle to kill them himself, and yes in reach after u destroy the big covenant ship all the rest that arrive are commanded by arbiter.

The title of Arbiter was only a vehicle for redemption to him, with its destination being an honorable death. The lives of his comrades, on the other hand, are still worth something to him, hence why he values them more than himself.

  • @keithkillner500
    @keithkillner500 7 років тому +245

    I see a lot of people asking why the Arbiter and the other Elites (Sangheili) had to change appearance.
    The "new design" is actually (according to the lore) a different sub-species of Sangheili. The Sangheili from H4 and 5 are a different variation of the species, in the same way that the Kig-yar are also different.
    The original versions still exist in the universe. The reason they all appear the same is because it is MUCH easier and cheaper to render the same design in the gane making process. This is why that although in H5 the Arbiter is shown in the "new" design, he is actually still the same as he always was.
    Stupidly complicated I know but but this is what happens when a studio decides to make changes.
