The Arbiter
The rank of Arbiter, introduced in Halo 2, is bestowed upon an Elite by the High Prophets during a time of serious need. The Arbiter acts as the Prophet's will, undertaking missions for the Prophets during incidents such as the Taming of the Hunters, the Grunt Rebellion, and most recently, during the threat of Heresy, he has emerged to lead the Covenant to victory. Many, especially Grunts, see the Arbiter as their Savior, and their peers consider him the "Will of the Prophets" or, in his military role, the "Blade of the Prophets". Every Arbiter was "created and consumed in times of extraordinary crisis", and has been martyred in the undertaking of his momentous tasks. The corpses (or perhaps only memorials of some sort) are housed in identical caskets stacked upon each other in the great Mausoleum of the Arbiters; it may be seen as a testament to the length of time the Covenant has been in place by the fact that the creation of an Arbiter seems to be a rather rare occasion, and yet there are hundreds of caskets in the Mausoleum. In the center of this room a silently levitating pod contains the sacred armor of the Arbiter, . highly decorative and fully functional despite its apparent age.
The role of Arbiter can also be viewed as a punishment for Elites who have done terrible wrong in the eyes of the Prophets. They are usually sent on the missions that are the most dangerous and would bring certain death - the Arbiters tend to be skilled warriors, and would gladly go on these suicidal missions for redemption of honor in death.

Gott schütze mich vor meinen Freunden; mit meinen Feinden will ich schon selbst fertig werden.
