The History of ALL the Arbiters

- The Arbiter's are one of Halo's most iconic roles, but their history is one with a deep, troubled and surprising past. For this reason, I thought today we'd dive into the History of ALL the Arbiters in known history, and take a look at how the role of the arbiter evolved from one of great honour and prowess, to one of shame and punishment. This is the History of ALL the Arbiters...

Hope y’all enjoy some deep Arby history! I’m currently at PAX West (and will be till Monday!) so if you see me feel free to stop me and say hi!
Love your vids, never knew halo was this deep before I found your channel
HiddenXperia also...
Arbiter: recreate the swords of sanghelious
The pervious swords: you have become the very thing we swore to destroy
Hinge-head: u racist
Can you do different special forces group other than the spartans and odst?
Cool video
(Player) Master Chief: *Hits arbiter*
Arbiter: "Is This Because of REACH?!?"
It can be any elite on Halo 3. I died when I found that on my legendary playthrough by hitting an elite on the mission with the hornets.
Master Chief: You killed Noble 6.
@@gabrielkendrick3217 wrong elite. Thel Vadam, who was at the time the Supreme Commander of the fleet known as "Partcilular Justice" (soon to be Arbiter in Halo 2) had already left Reach to pursue the Pillar of Autumn.
@@LockeLynx I know the lore, it was a popular fan theory that thel killed noble 6 because the elite that killed him was left handed, and thel waa left handed in an animated series.
Yes
Halo wars arbiter was an absolute chad, duel wielding two energy swords to flex on the halo players
The arbitor story line, (the new one) is probably my favorite
Epsilon Meme reactor is Chad a meme? I don’t keep up with that stuff.
@@spiderz5145 yeah, Virgin vs Chad
Vampire 21 Ah ok, thanks for explaining.
He also got killed by a marine
Chief: Close your eyes bro.
Arbiter: Ok bro.
Chief: What you see bro?
Arbiter: Nothing bro.
Chief: That's my world without you bro.
Arbiter: Bro.....
That was beautiful bro
What Happened to the replies
Bro😂
Lol i like that
That's deep bro...
Arbiter needs to come back and fight Atriox!!!
I agree
I feel like Atriox would kick his ass.
But I’m saying that cause Atriox is probably the most intimidating antagonist (other than the Ur-Didact) in terms of being a powerhouse in my eyes.
I don’t even think John would stand a chance against him. Solo that is.
@@whisperedflame6952 Halo Infinite definitely needs some type of team up between the Arby and the Chief
What if the Didact fought Atriox
@@kevinsaez7835 I'm sure the didact would probably win. He nearly killed chief without looking moving a muscle
He protec
He attac
But most importantly
He has chief's back
Haha
It's not wrong
Yes!
🥹
Were it so easy when master chief was speedrunning
SOME IMPRESSIVE ARMOR YOU HAVE. SHINY FACE.
Cryptids Explained a sniper magnet
@@W_O_L_F_666 Indeed :o

@@BanishedSilentShadow3318 😂 someone got the reference.
Half jaw: why don't you accept my love, we're meant to be together!
Lol all seriousness I know the reference XD
"Yes, you are the arbiter." - some random elite in halo 2
"Aribter, if i could hump, i would"
Ko Naing hump??
@@Zen-cs7zu yes
Edit: this is referring to a grunt that possibly is going to t bag him
Ko Naing lmao
"Thought he'd be taller"
Vadam: *Gets appointment Arbiter for false heresy claims*
Prophets: "Don't worry. We will have our corpse"
*Another game later*
Prophet of Truth: *"SHITSHITSHITSHITTHISWASN'TPARTOFTHEPLAN"*
They should make a game we’re it’s just you playing as arbiter halo covenant 1 that a be icy asf
always hope arbiter and half jaw do come back in infinite
Isn't his name R'tas Vadam? Trying to remember
Nathan Jamison close to that,Rtas Vadum
Shipmaster
The fact that the Swords were reformed by an Arbiter is I guess
(Insert Palpatine clip): IRONIC

@@SerAstraeusXIV fair enough

Next video should be the cult of Flood Worshipping elites that secretly operated within the covenant. They had a brief mention in the novel ghosts of onyx.
That's rad.
Wait what? There's a cult worshipping those parasites? How stupid they have to be to worship a fungus bent on killing and assimilating everything on the galaxy?!!
No that's was just am elite who thought the flood was the thing they needed for the great journey then he got shoot by another elite who saw the true horror of the flood
@@silverbloodborne9495 oh good ridance.
Brad Morales Yeah basically the flood-worshipper dropped the shields of his ship and tried to have the entire ship get infected, but was the shot in the head with a needler by his 2nd in command
The arbiter was such a massive part of the OG trilogy, its a shame that he basically only had a cameo in 5
When u see stan Lee in one of his films for a minute
"Died not by the parasite or demon, but a mere marine sgt and his combat knife"
Viet cong: " first time?"
It would be awesome if Jerome 092 fought Ripa Moramee with Sergeant John Forge
Hahahaha!
Something I've been wanting for at least a decade now is a game series where you play the various Arbiter's throughout the years during different conflicts to the point one died and continued with the next more covenant lore and great stories to be told there.
YES!! There is so much side story potential that hasn’t even begun to be explored!
I really want to see Master Chief and Arbiter fight the Created and the Flood, if they return, in Infinite. Maybe even another back-to-back scene like in Halo 3 when the Gravemind turned on Chief and Arbiter after Truth’s death and the Halo Array deactivating. I also hope Rtas ‘Vadum comes back.
Rojelio Gullod Yep
is Rtas 'Vadum half jaw
(also known as the shipmaster from halo 3)
Clyde Kanon yes
What the fuck are the created??
The faction following Cortana, basically. AIs.
15:04 I so badly want a spinoff game focusing on Snagheili clan wars.
Too bad we'll probably never get one since it won't draw enough attention among the bigger crowds.
me Gustav yeah imagine a combat system like for honor
I just wanna know what a Snaghelei is
@@harrytaint8681 the elites
How about an ODST styled game but you play as Usze Taham or Ntho Sraom ( the 3rd and 4th playable characters in the 4 player co-op campaign of Halo 3 ) and fight for the Swords of Sangheilios against the Servants of the Abiding Truth and Sali Nyon's Covenant or maybe Jul Mdama's Covenant if it takes place before Halo 5 .
ODST springs to mind. A side mission that went full blown campaign. But you’re asking too much of 343. They can’t even update a game in 4 years. I’d love a arbiter series focusing on the rebellion or Contact Harvest, the origins of the war.. but never in 343’s hands. Ugh.
I really hope Arbiters keeps his halo 5 armor, I thought it was a great way to show he's gone from "warriors of the prophets" to the new leader of sanghelios.
...
just give him a halo 3 body.
Crimson King Right, they need to give him the look of the Halo 5 trailer that was in Halo 2 anniversary.
Well it only took 2 games, but we're finally back to the tried and true haloart style, so I'm sure the elites wont look that stupid this time around.
Let's just hope whoever had the hard-on for bloom and stupidly-shiny hallways is kept in the away from infinite.
Rd owg well actually it was 4games
Haw ya DOIN
YA DOIN GOOD
Crimson King I hope they do it like his 2 and 3 design with a bit more designs and all and gold as the one in 5 felt a bit too thick compared to what he wore before.
Arby is my favorite hingehead, thank you very much!
“Arbiter back in Halo:Infinite” clearly this didn’t age well
That armor suits you, but it cannot hide that mark.
Nothing ever will.
You are the Arbiter, the will of the Prophets. But these are MY Elites. Their lives matter to me, your's does not.
That makes two of us.
"hm"
Haw ya DOIN
YA DOIN GOOD
(Respectful huff)
WARRIORS, PREPARE FOR COMBAT!!
we are the arm of the Prophets Arbiter, and you are the blade.
It's crazy how a role can go from one of the highest honors bestowed all the way to an official death sentence.
Seeing Arby change artstyles from the good, OG trilogy elite design to the massive hulk version and then (hopefully) back to a more classic look will be a weird situation
I would just count h4&5 as a debrief from chief and Osiris from ONI's perspective. Shitty and a eyesore
Two years old, very late I know. But in the Halo 5 design of the Arby, I can't help but find his appearance looks off to other Elites. Like, compare to the others we see, he's more stream lined, with features that remind me more of the Reach style. Looking at his face, his mouth looks far more natural compared to others which were larger and looked like they could stab their own eyes. Is it my favorite though. No. My favorite design will always be Halo 2 anniversary. Along with the armor.
However, if we do see him again, I'd think it be cool to see him wearing a mix of his new armor with his old armor. Oddly though, this part might just be a crack pipe dream. But I think it be neat to have Arby use an energy sword made by humans. But that part is fanfic level of dreaming lol.
Ripa Moramee was a true badass, being able to wield two energy swords, but he was beaten by a regular human.
Sergeant Forge lol
I mean, that was a pretty good side shank
And if the lady hadn't stopped him...
Just Some Guy without a Mustache moramee was more or less arrogant. He seemed to forget humans are extremely crafty and what forge was doing was baiting him into letting his guard down to a “defenseless” enemy
Just Some Guy without a Mustache he was way too arrogant and it’s also possible that forge was a spartan 1

The Honorable Elites would get along famously with the Japanese Samurai of old
Their based on samurais kind of
Wish the parallelism wasn’t so obvious
Not really. Bushido is not chivalry and should not be confused as the same thing.
Nah, the samurai at least spared their enemies. Elites are more like Jihadis.

"Please stop being Human"
- 343 Guilty Spark, Halo: CE. (When being shot at by MC in The Library)
Ironic since Guilty Spark was once Human. Yes, I read the books.
This is a fantastic video man! The Arbiter mantle is my favorite part of Sangheili culture and you did marvelously explaining them!
Bruh I watched all ur vids
Covenant Canon Ayyy cheers big man!
I have a feeling that the UNSC has mostly lost in Infinite (hence the trailer) and our boy Arby will come in with reinforcements like in Halo 3 when the flood invaded Earth.
But he already did in Halo 5 so it would reason that if the UNSC is defeated, so are the Swords of Sanghelios. Besides, if you recall, Cortana declared an imperial peace by threat of the Guardians on *all* species in the galaxy (universe?) not just humanity.
I think Infinite's gonna be more of a post-apocalyptic take but not in the way you'd think when you hear that term. What I mean is, it seems like the game starts when we've already lost (or are on the brink of defeat) and Chief is pursuing some last ditch effort against insurmountable odds to save our asses.
In other words I think this game is gonna be "Chief and his ragtag group of friends vs the World". "The World" being Cortana and whatever enormous advantage she probably possesses whether it still be the Guardians or something else.
@@__________1175 good point, it would make sense that Cortana launched a full out attack and defeated every opposing species in the Galaxy. I also think it's mostly going to be a solitary chief game with maybe the pilot in orbit for drop offs and pickups. Maybe near the end of the game he can somehow meetup with whatever's left of the UNSC and do one last ditch effort against Cortana and somehow win despite being completely outnumbered (similar to mendicant bias vs offensive bias)
Makes sense. Any remaining UNSC naval forces (Admiral Harper maybe?) would have to hide deep in former Covenant space to stand much chance of evading Cortana.
@@__________1175 I still think bringing Cortana back after that emotional death she had in 4 was just stupid. It negated anything that even mattered about killing her off, and showed that the writers had just gotten lazy and were grasping at straws at that point
@@ProsecutorValentine Err...did you see the same end of the game I saw? I suggest you look it up here on CZcams. I don't think you're remembering correctly (also the sneak peak we've gotten of Infinite, thus far, full supports what I said so...there's that).
thanks for making this so i didnt have to watch halofollowers video
ShotZ Rage lol glad I’m not the only one bothered by that guy
ShotZ Rage I felt that on a spiritual level
What's wrong with his channel?
@@leangoldfish I think a lot of people think he's the Watch Mojo of the Halo youtubers, also a while back he had been basically clickbaiting his videos
@Dark Nephilim Its ironic that clickbait makes you not click his video
Fal ‘chavamee was probably the strongest, he one maned an entire army and killed hunters that were the size of buildings
He is and always will be my favorite Arbiter.
Yeah kinda gave me God of war vibes
His wife died and he went on a blood fueled rampage killing everything in site.
The only difference being one lived to see the end of the war.
00:58 I'm going to cut the cable
-the arbiter
mmmmm yes cable
I feel like Fal 'Chavamee was the most interesting arbiter he opened his eyes and saw the truth behind the lie that is the great journey at one of the covanants early eras and wanted to lead his people in the right direction and held his standards and values at a high level and was easily one of the most aware elites at the time
My favorite is Ship Master. Man in halo 2 when he says
"Carry on Arbiter, Ill handle these monsters"
And when he takes out his sword, it always gives me chills
After he realized the Great Journey was a lie, I’m pretty sure Thel is no longer one to judge religious beliefs that don’t lead to genocide. And if he does, i doubt he’d strip people of individuality
In other words, he’s just trying to make everyone get along, but they just see it as control
God, I'll always remember playing as Arbiter on Halo 3 with my friend
I have to say, if halo ever and I mean EVER forgets the arbiter then let's just say war between the developers and all halo fans will happen 😁.
prematurebat 236 really war? Kill people over a game? I hope it’s a joke other wise you’re sad and pathetic

Hope you enjoyed the event dude!
I feel so bad for the Grunt rebellion cause billions of em were killed and couldn’t even defend them selves… R.I.P those Grunts.
343's 'Elites' makes my eyes bleed.
Agreed, they look fucking disgusting
Mauz I guess 343 wanted to make them look less cartoonish and more....realistic is what made them look terrifying.
@@Dr.Oofers But they look so distorted, so ugly imo
Mauz Yeah, i won’t lie, they do look ugly. But then again, not every single alien species is going to look...well, not ugly.
@@Dr.Oofers I disagree though. The CE grunts were adorable because we didn't have to see their faces, they wore masks. The elites looked much better in previous games, armour with distinct colours and contours to give rank. These ones look almost identical from afar. That makes it worse imo
I would love a halo RPG similar to KOTOR taking place hundreds of years in the past of the covenant with the player taking the role of an elite we create that ends up an arbiter. Maybe have different starting class stories as well similar to dragon age 1.
all you have to do is say kotor and the floodgates of my wallet will open
My dad: Sorry son I’m being player 1 chief is way better
Me: *plays as arbiter for most of my life and becomes to like him more than master chief*
My dad: surprised pikachu face
Same. I'm a fan-boy of the Arbiter. Always loved playing as him in Halo 2 and Halo 3.
I see you are a fellow arbiter fans as well
bruh i would always be master chief and force my brother to play as arbiter
Arbiter = Luigi
@@leriouslygaming5523 same even tho now that i know a bit from the lore the arbiter is way better... (he s got better weapons grenades etc.)
"We're it so easy" - Thel Vadam Halo 3
You know what would have been cool and probably still happened without us knowing? Fighting infected Arbiters on High Charity, either in halo 2 or we most definitely did in halo 3 and never noticed. Those bodies were likely preserved and the flood will never pass up a chance like that. Sucks it was never official.
Zweigling we don’t really know how an aliens body breaks down or what is essential organs to them.
"take away what he finds so precious. The rank of arbiter shall be a mark of shame"
:(
Arbiter is in halo infinite. He’s a plush toy on top of a mountain near a spartan log and a sniper rifle.
That wasn’t enough arbiter in my eyes 😂
Anyone else love the design of Ripa Moramee? His design, voice actor, character traits, backstory, and combat prowess make him my personal favorite of all halo characters.
Thel Is cool and he’s more well written and has an even cooler voice actor, but Ripa’s overall badassery is insane. Only thing I didn’t like was how he died.
Basically got punked... But hey, at least you can play as him in Multiplater and shred Uber units like paper! So long as no UNSC team drops a Disruptor.
I want a scene of Thel 'Vadam and Rtas 'Vadum discussing what to call this new faction and notice the irony.
Can you do different special forces group other than the spartans and odst?
Emmanuel Morris He did the sf of the Elites as well
What else is there in the UNSC?
@@revolverocelot1380 there's the force recon and the army pathfinder.
You got the silent shadow Wich is the covenant version of the head hunters
Emmanuel Morris that’s actually a really good idea tbh, I will at some point!
Sorry I am late, but I swear I have been waiting for this for like thousands of years. I just really like what the arbiter is.
Fun fact for anglo Halo players: The Arbiter is called The Inquisitor in the Spanish version of the series.
Fal: *"THE JOURNEY IS A LIE!"*
Prophets: U Wot M8?
Prophet : Hmmmm is it now ?
Honestly the fight of the arbiter with a Japanese style painting is probably my favorite halo side piece yet
In halo 2 don’t the prophets say that the armour is the same armour that all the past had worn? But the arbiter from halo wars clearly did not have his armour recovered since you know the planet exploded.
I like the look of Ripa ‘Moramee, with the way that Ripa’s mandibles are more spread while resting, instead of being tucked up like all other Elites is so cool.
A 16 minute long video? Please keep spoiling us.
Rip that dream at the start
What’s up dude just wanted to say love your content I’ve been watching it for years and I really appreciate what you do for fans
Thanks bro
Thanks bro
Thanks bro

I hope the Arbiter has a significant role in Halo Infinite. He felt like a sidekick in Halo 3. It shouldn’t be that way. His backstory is far more extraordinary than Chief’s. Give Arbiter a moment of glory, even just a small cutscene, where he saves Chief from some sort of danger. And then that iconic Halo 3 piano plays as they shake hands, or give each other a nod, or Arbie says “were it so easy.”
I love the term 'arbiter itch' and am going to quote it on the daily now.
That might be the greatest thumbnail in existence 🤷🏾♂️
FOR THE ARBITER!!!!!!! FOR SANGHELIOS!!!!!!!! Please bring him back!
The convenience here for me is amazing. Been trying to find an arbiters legacy video for a while. That's it really..
Thanks.

glad to be a patreon supporter keep the amazing work up man much love
The heretic arbiter is my favorite arbiter
We need arby as a playble character infinite
I would honestly love that but unfortunately it won’t be true because 343 confirmed the chief would be the only playable charter and will take the main stage although we could play as him in co op and you never know arbiter story DLC that would be dope ahah
It would be cool if it was like this

You choose one and the character you didn't pick fights alongside you or the other player plays that character

Thanks for the vid. I hope they remember the people who play the game, again and again and again. And the constant themes that are reinvented by those dedicated fans.
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST VID EVER I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDS BUT THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE AND I LOVE IT
Damn i never realized that was really him ._. now Arbiter seems even more badass
Remember, hinge-head can be an offensive term. Refer to them as Sangheili!
I feel like the Arbiter and Atriox could be allies, bonded by their shared hatred for the Covenant and could result in a mid game betrayal by the Arbiter
This was released on my birthday so thank you for this amazing present
Once I heard that Legends soundtrack, I knew where this was going. ;-;
5:25 Why is it that most Elites in Halo Legends: The Duel look like they stole Jedi Robes or Sammari Armour?
12:53 Supreme Commander Thel Vadamee, also known as the only Covenant leader involved with the Fall of Reach with any sense.
Jedi took inspiration from the samurai as did the elites.
The animators were given a lot of artistic and creative freedom in Halo Legends, which is pretty cool of 343 to let animators have some freedom for once.
@@duck8206 apart from the fact that the Arbiter's wife didn't have mandibles for some reason...
Interesting
@@Jedi_Spartan_38 Also, she has hair? 😅
That outro imagery will NEVER get old. Mark V chief battling flood. Its so cinematic and glorious, something I take for granted sometimes
A group where the meme
You became the very thing you swore to destroy
Fits
This aged like milk.
Will they bring back a good elite design while they are at it?
We can only hope
I bring news from the future
I think they changed the Pelican Design to the old one
Fal was pretty much the John Wick of elites. Fighting him in open combat was a death sentence. He slaughter an entire army meant to kill him with just energy swords. He probably killed some guys at a bar with whatever the elite equivalent of a pencil is.
Everyone who disliked this was offended by the use of hingehead

Halo: Destroying Reach
If they were to ever make anything similar to this, I want it to be a separate game in which you play as Arbiter before he was arbiter, having a lot of the story corroborate and coincide with Halo Reach and Halo the Fall of Reach...
That would be EPYC
I actually really enjoyed how they handled the arbiter in H5.
He doesn't need a shoehorn reunion with Chief. They aren't old college buddies or the Avengers.
One is the a super soldier enlisted in his people's army and the other is a leader trying to get his people back on track.
They don't have time to meet up and pow wow and shoot the sh*t, and forcing a hamfisted scenario where they do just that for fanservice would be a disservice to the characters.
Bro hell yes ty for making this
I sure do hope we get to see an Elite campaign level again :'(
