Jiralhanae Chieftain

Chieftain, also known as Alpha, is a position within the jiralhanae race. It is one of the highest positions in the jiralhanae hierarchy both in social aspects and in military rank within the Covenant.
== Overview ==
In the Covenant, Chieftains primarily served as military commanders. They are leaders of jiralhanae packs, and often lead their packmates as well as members of lower caste species into battle.
Covenant jiralhanae Chieftains are typically clad in ornate red and black armor. They are instantly recognizable by their large horned headdress, a design which pays homage to the Degaeorth of Doisac. Unlike the power armor worn by jiralhanae of lesser ranks, a Chieftain's armor posesses an energy shield of equivalent strength to that of a sangheili Zealot.
