In Sangheili culture, aristocrats are those who are skilled enough in the field to utilize an Energy Sword in pristine combat. The title of aristocrat is to be given for personal swords of their own. Once an aristocrat receives his Energy Sword, he is no longer eligible for marriage for ceremonial reasons, but may mate with any female they wish, married or unmarried, in order to pass his "Swordsman" genes down to the next generation and kin. This title applies to all sword-wielders, from Special Operations Sangheili to Sangheili High Councilors to even fashionable Sangheili amid High Charity.Bestiarum It is unknown if Fal 'Chavamee was a rare exception to this policy, or if the rule was instated some time after his death.
