Pic 1: Covenant supreme leader Velsir Tora. After Jul died, Velsir took charge by using his high authority of Supreme General. He does not hesitate when faced with a threat and is considerably more aggressive than any other recorded covenant leader. Pic 2: Royal guard. Similar to honour guards, these elites wear the same colours as the supreme leader. They are tasked with protecting the supreme leader and to ensure his tactical commands. Pic 3: Executioner. Any elites in black armour are executioners. They commonly use heavy damage weapons such as beam rifles, fuel rod guns or energy swords. Pic 4: Tactician. These elites execute effective combat tactics due to their high-capacity brains and self-improved reflexes. They can create an alternate strategy whilst in the heat of battle quicker than most other troops.
