It is possible, and perhaps implied, that Sangheili Ultras are also given the title of Ship Master. Since Sangheili Majors are called Half-commanders, it is possible that Ultras are simply called Commanders.In Firefight, Ultras come down in packs of four in Drop Pods (most likely wielding Concussion Rifles), and are will appear in the squad titled "Sangheili" on heroic or higher. They can sometimes be found operating controls on key devices, such as an Ultra maintaining the Spire's shields in Tip of the Spear. While they are not quite as strong as they were in Halo 2, they are still extremely dangerous to fight, and, when in groups, can be even more difficult. They also have access to the armor lock armor ability (which Specialist and lower ranked Sangheili infantry do not) and will use it under certain scenarios (gunned down by Covenant needles or incoming explosive projectiles). They will often attack in groups of three or four and use deadly tactics. Ultras are much more common than they were in Halo 2, even on lower difficulties. Their armor also can be earned in multiplayer after attaining the rank of Warrant Officer. Sangheili Ultras appear alive once again in Halo: Reach, this time with a completely different combat harness and a red secondary color. Quite often their helmets will be glitched, showing either the split jaw that Rtas 'Vadum has or a mixture of the Combat helmet and the Assault helmet. Their corpses can only be seen on the level Floodgate. Like in Halo: Combat Evolved, no Ultras are seen alive. They usually wield plasma rifles, but if the player gets too close they will often go berserk and pull out an energy sword. They can take up to three shotgun blasts at close range and survive a stick from a plasma grenade. They seem to have been given the shield strength of Zealots from Halo: Combat Evolved. Halo 2 is the first game in which they can be fought. The only live Ultra that was ever seen in Halo: Combat Evolved was for a brief moment during one of the launch trailers. However several dead corpses can be observed throughout the game. No Ultras are seen alive in Halo: Combat Evolved. While really, they hold no official leadership position in the Covenant and are not obedientiaries either, they are recognized as being experts on the battlefield. Īlong with that, there are also higher-ranking Ultra Officers, known to the Covenant as the Evocati Delegatus. Several corpses of Sangheili Ultras were seen in the Indulgence of Conviction during the Flood invasion of Voi. After Regret's departure to Delta Halo, the Sangheili Ultras along with their brethren were engaged by the Jiralhanae and were slain. Some were also seen assisting the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam against the Jiralhanae during the Civil War of the Covenant. The Sangheili Ultras were also seen leading the ground campaign in the occupation of Mombasa, leading multiple lances against the UNSC as well as escorting the Scarab towards the city metropolis of Mombasa. ĭuring the Battle of Installation 04, corpses of Sangheili Ultras were seen scattered within the CCS-class battlecruiser, the Truth and Reconciliation, presumably killed in combat with the Flood. The Sangheili Ultras were seen leading a ground campaign on Reach as well as defending key locations for further reinforcements from the Covenant ships. The Sangheili Ultras are one of the top tier Covenant units and have served gallantly in multiple engagements throughout the Human-Covenant war.
