A Sangheili (Elite) Ultra.
The Covenant Empireis the main enemy faction in the Halo Universe. The Covenant is a religious hegemony occupying a large portion of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. Their society is based around their religion, which itself is based around the Prophets' misinterpretations of ancient Forerunner texts. The Covenant believes in the Great Journey, or that they must gather Forerunner artifacts, which will lead them to the Halo rings, the activation of which will cause them to transcend into gods and purge the universe of all sin. In truth, however, these artifacts were left to be inherited by humanity, and the Halo rings are weapons to be used against The Flood, and their activation will destroy every living thing in the galaxy, depriving The Flood of its food source, thereby starving it to death.
The Covenant's war against humanity began because an ancient Forerunner A.I. named Mendicant Bias (whom the Covenant called "The Oracle") Informed the three highest Prophets (called the Heirarchs) of part of their misinterpretation, telling them about how the relics were really meant for the humans. Knowing that this information would destroy the Covenant, the Heirarchs claimed that the humans were defacing holy relics and needed to be eliminated.
The Covenant's military was a juggernaut of unparalleled power. No one had ever defeated the Covenant in a war, but humanity's relentless defiance and refusal of extinction gave them a fighting chance against the Covenant's unstoppable might. But even after their defeat, some members of the Covenant continued to oppose humanity, most notably those led by Jul 'Mdama, and known as the Covenant Remnant.
