"If not you, then who? The Arbiter would not fit this, this duty, and a Zealot would not survive it, so that only leaves, you."

- The Prophet of truth, speaking to Nic 'Sasamee, the last Council Elder.

The Council Elder is a special rank obtained only by a great feat, completed with honorable mention and an "election" of three candidates. The rank was created after the first Arbiter's death, when the Mausoleum of the Arbiter didn't exist yet.

Requirements

 * Must be over the rank of Zealot, such as the Imperial Admiral, or Supreme Commander.
 * Can be an Honor Guard if over the required age, Seventy-Seven.
 * No normal Councilor has any chance at becoming the Elder.
 * If an Aristocrat is to join, he, if below the required rank, must have been in the Covenant for over one year.
 * The Council Elder will hold his rank for seven years. He has the chance to be re-"elected" for an unlimited amount of times.
 * Only one Elder is allowed a time.

Armor
The armor for the Elder is a basic mix between the Honor Guard armor, and the Councilor armor. It is usually brandished with a personal emblem on the backside of the helmet, for when the Elder's service is over, he will return to his former rank, and his helmet will be displayed with the backside's emblem aside it.

Modifications from Normal Armor

 * Unlimited cloaking fitted into armor, for a stealthy advance.
 * Shielding increased.
 * Overshield is optional instead of the Cloaking.
 * Green lights fitted onto armor can be increased in brightness to act as a "flashlight".
