Minor is a Sangheili rank used by the Covenant and later by the Swords of Sanghelios. It is the lowest military rank in the Sangheili ranks. Sangheili Minors are mentally, physically, and pragmatically the least-experienced warriors of the Sangheilian Armed Forces; however, they are still fairly skilled in combat. Commanding the lowest rank within the Sangheilian armed forces, hierarchy affords Minors only standard-issued weaponry and the lowest grade of energy shielding.
