| | The Covenant - Wikpedia |
 | | As the Master Chief and UNSC discovered, the Halos were not built as religious icons; they are galactic weapons of mass destructive sterilization built by the Forerunners to contain a parasitic race known as The Flood. |
 | | In events that occur during Halo 2, the Brutes replace the Elites as personal bodyguards of the prophets and commanders of the Covenant military, largely because of their blind faith in the "great journey." They remain loyal to the Prophets. |
 | | Engineers do not appear in the either Halo game (though their character models are coded into Halo 1) and are mentioned only in Halo: The Fall of Reach and Halo: First Strike. |
