They are armed with either Shock Rifles or Heatwaves and always armed with an Energy sword as a backup weapon.Īn order of ex-Covenant Evocati led by Colonel Ke 'Nzahz is active in the post-war era. These warriors rarely hold aspirations beyond dying for the glory of their keep due to their mastery in their favoured fields, and as such are renowned for forging stories for the saga walls in their respective keeps. As with the Covenant, Banished ultras are rarely attached to their units for long, and are instead employed by their commanding Warlords in a manner akin to living weapons. Banished ultras have been compared to the arpaktiko warriors of ancient Sangheili history, and are trained to hunt down and kill their targets without hesitation or remorse. Banished ultras largely echo the Evocati in the Covenant of old, employing harness designs with increased resilience and incorporated active camouflage. The Ultra role was largely preserved among Banished Sangheili forces, with dozens of Evocati divisions having been recruited into the collective by ex-Seneschal Chak 'Lok. Evocati serving in Storm units may deploy with Storm harnesses in white and red colouration. Sangheili Ultras in the field wield a variety of equipment, often employing various styles of harness including (though not limited to) the Gheocin-pattern combat harness and Bausatti-pattern raid harness. Despite this duty, the Delegatus were not Obedientiaries and did not hold an official command authority in the Covenant military hierarchy - instead serving in a role analogous to UNSC Warrant Officers as subject matter and technical experts in a specific field. To achieve their mutual goals in the field, Evocati would elect an official "Ultra Officer" from their ranks - termed Evocati Delegatus - to deal with the warhost commander directly. In practice, contingents of Ultras could be attached to a given Warhost by a given commander, though would rarely answer to the force's commanding Field Master directly. This is similar to the Zealot chapters employed exclusively by the Sangheili - though unlike Zealots all species can attain the title of Evocati. Sangheili Īmong the Sangheili, the Evocati had a number of martial orders, with the Seneschals being one such organisation veteran Evocati could aspire to join. It is unclear how these races' Ultras fit with the Evocati hierarchy their successors in the Banished employ Unggoy Ultras in low-level command roles over other Unggoy to relieve commanders of the task, though they are also often deployed paired alongside Sangheili they have a shared history with. Lower-caste species in the Covenant including Unggoy, Yanme'e and (following a decree by the Prophet of Truth) Jiralhanae were equally able to attain the title of Ultra, though due to their lower-caste status were presumably unable to enjoy the same societal benefits and progression available to their Sangheili superiors. However, few Evocati remain in this position for long, as they are generally expected to continue to advance their career in the order of seneschals, enter the political sphere as a councilor or return to their parent ministry to train the next generation of warriors. The Ultra position represents the apex of a given warrior's military career those Sangheili who attain the title consider it a great glory, and are guaranteed a position of honour in the records of their clan and the record vaults of High Charity. While proficient in lone wolf field operations, Evocati may also be utilised as leaders in their own right and given charge over lower-ranked Minors and Majors. ![]() They generally display above-average aptitude in skill-at-arms and martial tactics. ![]() While Minors who favour command and leadership-oriented work may begin to climb the ranks of the Obedientaries, the Evocati instead take in veteran warriors who have demonstrated the highest standards of military proficiency, teamwork, honor, and devotion to the Covenant. ![]() Evocati consist of the foremost skilled warriors available for their given martial organisation to call upon.
