The Sangheili Officer is a Covenant rank and Swords of Sanghelios Sangheili rank, and are also a higher rank than Minors. Officers are warriors whose rank is medium-low in the Covenant Sangheili rank structure but are higher ranked than a Sangheili Minor. They are far more intuitive and quick-thinking than their subordinates. A single Officer is capable enough to survive against an entire squad of Marines but will have more trouble against Spartans.
