Why are the Elites helping/following the Brutes?

I noticed there’s a few sangheili in the trailer & we play as a sangheili faction in the game, so it makes me think. Are they helping the brutes for the old “kill all humans” traditions? Or is it just because “surprisingly” this brute “Atriox” is a very good & powerful leader? What are your guys thoughts about it?

They’re called the Banished so probably left the old covenant before the covenant civil war when Elites/Brutes fell out with each other.

Maybe…they are like the heritics of halo 2, maybe they saw the Prophets falseness and decided to break off from the main covenant…makes sense In my opinion…considering that the original heritics did have another race allied with them (grunts) it wouldn’t be that far fetched to assume that Atriox brought some elites to his side

Maybe the elites are just want power and work with a strong powerful army.

Well, I agree on the post covering heresy, and leaving before the great schism due to an unknown reason (perhaps banishment as their name suggests). However, to answer your question, they were a faction long before the fall of the covenant, and long before the first halo game. The banished were only rumored and mentioned in the books, but the humans have never encountered them. They fight as one, and split from the falseness of the prophets, so the Sangheili and Jiralhanae were never in a feud, and never went through The Covenant’s “Great Schism,” thus they are like brothers in The Banished.

You…I like you…

If they didn’t follow the prophets and some of their ways, why continue to fight humanity?

Perhaps they still hate humanity…maybe they fought humanity before they were banished by the covenant, I’m guessing so consider the tech used by atrioxs faction
