Campaign question

The first Arbiter that Regret used and who played the main antagonist for Forge and the SPARTANS, why was he a dink?

I thought the Arbiter was an honorary title (even if it’s dubbed in disgrace). Why was the first Arbiter so… brutal? Thel’ (Arbiter from Halo 2 and 3) seemed pretty well-mannered but the other, the first one did not.

Any ideas?

If I remember correctly, Arbiters are chosen from criminals that have committed the worst crimes (considered worst crimes by the prophets).

Sanghelli 1 = -Yoink-; Criminal = First Arbiter Position (reasonable punishment; die in combat)

Sanghelli 2 = Revered Covenant Commander accidentally let the one hope for the universes survival escape Reach… = Second Arbiter Position (What? :prophetscrazy:)

That’s it right?
