Elites

Elites are the warrior caste of the Covenant and are above-average in intelligence, or at least they are intelligent enough to see through the Prophets lies after a few thousand years of doing everything they say. They are well-armed and have advanced technology. They waged war against Humans for may years untilt he Prophets betrayed thm and replaced them with Brutes for no particular reason. This, combined with the knowledge of the true purpose of the Halo Array gleaned from the Arbiter, eventually led to the Elites joining the Humans in thei war against the Brutes and they formed a splinter faction of the Covenant called the Seperatists.

The Elites live on Sangheilios, a relatively nice planet to live on, if you happen to be a four-lipped bipedal lizard who loves battle and hates all forms of life.
