Another 20 minutes of juicy, succulent 4k lore for you on this fine Saturday eve! Enjoy fellas! Next video is gonna be a bit different - Infinite related but not news or anything - regardless, it'll be a good one, but for now, enjoy! And thanks to Tommy Haden for spurring me on to make a video about Xytan after waiting for so long :D
Oooo Can't wait for Halo infinite 0-0 or anything else.

HiddenXperia You are the king of Halo Lore, and your voice is spectacular. I have a bit of a fun question... I have a small fan novel called Halo: Yellow Team, and I would love it if you could help canon-check it for me, and then maybe... read it on the channel? I mean, ideally it would be a collaboration reading between you and the other leaders of Halo Lore like Installation 00, but you would be a step beyond I would ever hope for.

Sometimes I wonder if the Covenant even knew what some of the Forerunner glyphs meant. What if they translated to random phrases? “Restroom.” “This way up.” “No running in this area.”
😂😂😂
👌😆
Thats great lol
Iirc that's exactly how the covenant was formed: by mistranslating the glyphs on the chassis of a fragment of Mendicant Bias.
That's pretty much how the religion of The Covenant was formed. It was a complete mistranslation and misunderstanding of the last Terminal from Halo 3 and a few other places. Because the Forerunners have words that have no equivalent in any of their languages, or Human ones, Great Journey was used as the closest approximation and they mistranslated a part that was supposed to mean "False Transcendence" as a disparaging remark about still living on after firing The Array and thus inheriting The Mantle of Responsibility. So, from it, the Covenant believed activating The Halo Array would make them as great as their gods. Would make them as gods too. Even their phrase "Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument" is a mistranslated fragment of Medicent Bia's threat to the Forerunners after being turned by The Flood. Its all super fascinating stuff, really.
So to anyone who just watches this videos for fun and stuff, Xytan was 11ft 7in, while the arbiter you see in games is only 7ft 10in It’s not an understatement to say he was LARGE
It’s like comparing Shaq to me, I’m 5’10. Lol
Tinder elites be like: “if you’re not at least 11 feet tall, don’t swipe”
If I remember correctly, Hunters stood at a solid 12 feet tall when standing up straight. Makes me wonder if he could keep up with their strength as well. I'm very confident he could overpower a brute but can he match a hunter let alone overpower it?
So the size of a primarch

‘He never let it get to his head. He also made a 30m tall hologram of himself to talk to people.’ Hmmm...
There's a difference between letting it get to your head and presenting yourself in the way subordinates look at you already. He could have made himself larger and with egregious ornamentation, instead just went with a 30m tall representation that probably had more to do with allowing all of the crew members to see the hologram due to the sheer scale of some of the muster halls and auditoriums it would be sent into.
@@wigwog9590 ^^ he gets it.
@@wigwog9590 doesn’t need to be looked at
To add to Wig Wog's point: There's a difference between not letting it get to your head and knowing that other's perception of you commands authority and respect. Allowing them to believe as they already did, leaning in to it, would make them more agreeable and thus a more cohesive unit. A commander that doesn't show confidence in his own authority is soon stripped of it by a newcomer

It’s also worth noting that the most powerful brute of his time (tartarus’s chieftain before he killed him) was defeated by a single grunt with a plasma pistol and Sargent Johnson.
Any grunt wielding Sargent Johnson is not to be messed with
@@yaqbulyakkerbat4190 that’s a good point he is a fearsome weapon
Not really defeated. The grunt merely weakened Tartarus's shields enough for Johnson to wound him before the brute annihilated the grunt. Said grunt was a deacon who led the grunt who started the human-Covanent war.
@@foxymetroid you’ll notice I credited Sargent Johnson in the comment and knocking out his shields was a pretty big part of defeating a chieftain considering that the humans couldn’t do it
Imagine seeing this colossus in an Elite campaign, giving orders and slaying foes in battle with some super powerful one of a kind Energy Sword.
An energy greatsword. Dam I can only imagine how badass that would look
@@pokimanefartcompilation I never even thought about that. A normal Energy Sword for him would indeed be a greatsword for anyone else. Even better.
@@pokimanefartcompilationenergy zweihander or montante
Yeah! Like this hulking brute of an elite being MUCH bigger then the rest of the elites with armor as tough as a Wraith’s with shielding to match. One look at him and you would think: “What abomination made THAT!?” Extra terror if he’s FAST too, betraying his size. Like a speeding warthog coming at you. And i feel he would use a full metallic sword made from forerunner metal. Like forget energy blades, he’s going classic style! Hell, he’d be the sangheili version of Megatron in terms of strength and skill!

This was basically The Atriox of the Elites, except they got trolled by some engineer
He's basically Lord Hood but for the Covenant. Such a shame he died so soon. Imagine how fucked the prophets would be if this guy had joined the humans. Prophet of Truth's fleet wouldn't have stood a chance at all. You are right though, this guy was pretty much going to do what Atriox succeeded in doing, recruit rebels of the Covenant, create a new faction.
@Zerebrat Eightyseven True, I did forget Jul M'Dama. He did create an entire splinter faction which was massive. Too bad for him he's dead too.
Damn bro. I just saw you in the comments on marksmans vid wtf.

Who the hell is that?
@@aaronmedders4141 Ok you filthy weeb.
@@DaDARKPass All he did was answer the question bro lmaooo
Madara's death, and Naruto in general, is just stupid. This is fairly consistent with deaths of powerful characters in the Halo universe. Spartan IIs died in all kinds of random ways after spending their entire lives training. A Spartan died from fucking dirt in the jets in his suit
@@fangiscool1 The same as Yhwach defeat, the author made him so broken that later had no idea how to get rid of him
Am I wrong that I prefer the larger, more intimidating elite design from Reach to all other representations? Like the Elites in Reach actually made me reconsider my engagements and genuinely posed a threat. Where as the other games I run through them like yellow traffic lights. Also the whole fact that they didn't speak English in Reach was a way better choice IMO. The Elites of Reach have an err of mysticism and ferocity. Something I find lacking in the other halo games.
The Reach Elites scare me ngl They did not fuck around
Well then they achieved their goal at making the reach elites scary as fuck
Yeah! It reminded us that they made up the back bone of the covenant military for thousands of years FOR A GOOD DAMN REASON!
The elites seem larger as the Spartan 3's were smaller than the Spartan 2's. If I remember correctly the Spartan 3's started their training when they were much older, and had a different concoction of surgical enhancements hence them being smaller. This is why the elites look bigger in halo reach
@@OGs-117 That's the lore reason, which is completely true! In-game dev reason, it was to make them threatening and it worked!
Imagine rising to power as the strongest Elite known to the Covenant, only to die by a grunt who pressed a few buttons..

@@Mantis_Toboggan_TrashMan Not without Cortana. Or without Blue Team, a Forerunner monitor and a composer (referring to the story after Halo 4.) And technically he *still* didn't kill him with all that help... Look back to any and every one of John's encounters with the Didact and you *tell me* the Chief could do anything to him without someone bailing him out. Not the best comparison.
@@Mantis_Toboggan_TrashMan i don't know why fans think Master Chief is so great; he is not. His main weapon is Cortana. Even Thal Vadam (our arbiter) is cooler than Mastrr chief

He's such a gangsta that all elites have 2 names; But not him, he has 3.
More names = more power.
No that one dude who had 5 middle names is god then
Actually, there's Voro Nar 'Mantakree.
Everyone gangsta until the hispanic elite shows up
Custodes: finally, a worthy opponent!
I got the chills when he said “die?, Spartans never die”
This story is awfully similar to a story from history. In Japan, there was a Daimyo named Uesugi Kenshin and he was considered to be the avatar of the god of war on earth by many. Just as he's gathering allies and looking to sweep across Japan with his army, he just dies of natural causes. The reason it reminds me of this is because you've got a leader, revered by their people, gathering a massive force to make a difference in a huge conflict, only for it all to disappear overnight. Our real history is filled with stories like this, so in a way, this feels pretty realistic. Sometimes things just happen this way. I don't think it's bad that it was anti-climactic.
Even brutes are scared to drop the soap near him.
Oh God. 😂

@@theliveing A greater threat to humanity, and by proxy the Galaxy. Snuffed out before it took flight.
Sosig I would love this elite if it wasn’t for his undying belief in the great journey.
Correction. He got taken out by a grunt. Which is also a fitting end.
What made it unfitting is because it could've entirely been avoided
“All besides one. Voro ‘Mantakree.” *cue Impend beat drop*
I'm pretty sure they feared Master Chief. They freak out whenever he shows up.
The grunt didn't start up the bomb. The bomb was deactivated and once the grunt hit the button the message played but still nothing would happen. The engineers fixed the bomb because that's what they do, fix shit. They reset the timer which obviously led to the bomb going off. The grunt actually tried to stop them because he understood english and knew what the message meant.
Yeah, but let's be honest, the idea of the greatest Elite in history dying because a Grunt was playing with a nuke is just too damned funny.
There you have it! Now, drop the mike and exit stage left!

He seems to be more like Preton J Cole of the covenant. Remember, before the events of Halo CE, Admiral Preston J Cole was admired even more than Master Chief and the rest of the Spartan IIs because he won every single space engagement with the Covenant, which is even more impressive considering that the UNSC was always on the backfoot when it came to naval combat.

The fucker had over 200 ships, millions of religious zealots and was probably one of the most tactical geniuses the sangheili has ever born witness too, i guarantee you that if would have stomped all over the covenant and the UNSC, they basically had to kill him and his entire fleet off just so everyone else could actually build on the lore
It does make me wonder if he too was an elite who before the destruction of the first ring believed Humanity had well earned a spot at the table of their folds.

Xytan needs to be rewritten as still being alive, that wouldn’t bother me at all.
Just have it be after witnessing the flood in person in battle he decided the covenant are a secondary threat along with an Oracle to guide them to planets with flood infestations and began a long process of going into unknown space and exterminating the flood on these forgotten forerunner worlds.
It's unlikely but it would be cool if he were able to unite the remaining Covenant factions one way or another and become the leader of the Covenant 2.0.
It’s unlikely but it is a possibility since his death was truly never confirmed.

So what I'm hearing is, in the end, reach got the last laugh, and TECHNICALLY ended the 'covenant?'...
If you ever read operation first strike you’ll know that’s breakfast killing spree for admiral Withcomb
Yes
Holy, I’ve never been into halo lore but this vid was badasssss
A fitting end. He probably glassed dozens of human planets, and died in a similar manner. Humanity's funniest prank.
That grunt did humanity a favor
Elites: We are honored warriors for millions of years and will fight fair UNSC: Bomb go boom boom
how you doin
"Bomb go boom boom" is a viable strategic option. What did you think we meant by "plan B"?
Hahahahahahaha elites go *brrrrrrrrrrr*
Ehhhh, they did glass worlds, kinda not fair thats making a planet uninhabitable for a few decades

"This is Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb. You all have a nice day in Hell." I LOVED that part of Ghosts of Onyx.
I love these videos it makes halo so much more interesting
Xytan appears and is mentioned in the halo books ghosts of onyx and glasslands. Which takes place during the end of halo 3. Voro is also mentioned in these books alongside xytan. These are on audible and I just finished them. Would recommend 10/10
At first I was mad that such an epic elite leader was oof'd by a grunt messing with a nuke But now after hearing the message and the description of what the nova-bomb did upon detonation, I see it as a fitting kill from the grave from the, wait for it: _Ghosts of Reach_
Bruh 11 foot tall is 4 feet taller than MC in his armor. He's 6'7" without it on.
Its also taller than most brutes
Short Wortttier
so what? Elites are taller than spartans anyway
Well it was poor writing on their part to just kill him off. It would've been more badass if he was exiled in space to one day do some crazy shit.
He's actually taller than even the Ur-Didact. The Ur-Didact stood ar 11 foot 4 inches, Xytan stood at 11 foot 6 inches
"never defeated and never failed" The chief - lucky you never met me
Soooo Kwassass delivered these homies onto one hell of a great journey with a Nova Bomb. Dope.
No one: Vice Admiral Whitcomb: V I B E C H E C K
I'd l o v e an Elite this prestigious being in Infinite
@Red Elite really hope they've listened to the quite exposed community opinion
@Red Elite They sure do. After the horrendous H2A design I honestly am fearful of what they'll look like in Infinite.
@@lrn5152 horrendous? Are you trolling? Haha
I mean, I guess you're not but in what way did you find them horrendous in comparison with Reach one or CE?
@@MasterPiBi Sorry if my response is too long but don't get me wrong. The Reach design looks ridiculous. They're much more limber but equally heavy looking. Bulky even? It looks strange. The Halo 4-5 designs are too large and not lethal-looking enough. But they do look savage. Just not lethal. Halo 3 designs look really odd but are iconic. Basically I'm saying the design is hard to get no matter the game. But the H2A design was.... Mediocre to me. That's just my opinion. Here's my reasons for why it has the worst design: 1. They are too fragile looking. They really just appear to be ungraceful because of this. 2. They are not mysterious like their newer Reach designs/older CE designs. 2. The mandibles are too small and the head is really compact. (Halo 4-5 Elites had heads too large but I preferred that look). 3. (My biggest issue) the hooves. They have no toes. They have actual hooves. 4: The physiology doesn't work. I think Reach got it in terms of plausibility. The legs and feet don't look like they should support the Sangheili in H2A. What I liked: 1. The armor was nice. It had a nice redesign. 2. I enjoyed their voices. They weren't brutish. 3. The Arbiter's armor looked good with the design.
I'd like to see how Xytan would hold up against Atriox in a what-if their factions met scenario.
**halo multiplayer voice** “Un-Freaking-Believable”
We need this Elite back. Can probably retcon his death like: Arbiter: Your alive?! Xytan: My death was greatly exaggerated. Arbiter: You mean it wasn't a bomb? Xytan: No, that was real. I'm talking about the dying part.
That would be sick
Dying to bombs is to boring
@@the_one_titan3381 Tell that to the Covenant
@@the_one_titan3381 They went out with a bang
Nah, Xytan would respond with "were it so easy"
1.000.000 holy warriors and an exteremly powerful near perfect elite have become KIA. Cause of death: 1 alien dwarf and 1 floating squid boi
Grunts are like 5 foot bro not exactly midget
@@goingdumb2762 true forgot about that. mb
@@goingdumb2762 have you stood next to a 5 ft person before?
@@xXJLNINJAXx I work next to females bro, I stand with a lot of people are 5'6" and less, but Grunts are like between 5 and 6 feet bro
@@goingdumb2762 6 feet part is news to me
This Video Is Very *I C O N I C* But for real.. This is amazing!
Halo has sooo much lore via the comics and short animation videos. I wouldn't even be mad if 343 veered off track the main story for a fresh new approach.
imagine a sitcom-styled miniseries about the Kwassass and the Engineer trying not to fuck up the Covenant, and the final episode is them clicking the Nova Bomb Like Regular Show almost, where each episode they're given the simplest of jobs and it goes horribly wrong
quick, we have to get this idea to rooster teeth.
Xytan would for sure be benson
I’d like to see Xytan pull a “admiral trench” and that maybe he survived the explosion but was fitted with cybernetics to keep him alive and as a result lived in shame. It may not be the best idea but it would definitely be interesting. Halo needs more compelling villains like Atroix.
Ye that actually sounds cool
Yeah no You CAN'T survive that
Uh no, you ain’t surviving a nova bomb at point blank range
@@obiwankenobi3574 Shoot your right, oh well. I am honored to have been corrected by the SENATE.
@@benimel3204 Yes, now time to bring the Death Star to this ‘Halo’ universe
Wasn't the Nova Bomb intended to be used on the covenants "home world" and was supposed to be carried out by red team?
I remember when I first read that part about the nova bomb in the books, my jaw dropped and just let out a long damnnnn
"A chain is only as strong as its weakest link" - Xytan 'Jar Wattinree
That one grunt and engineer
Oh my god. Ive NEVER heard that saying before in my life. That's gotta be the newest, freshest, most hip saying out right now! Anyways...always remember: "When the going gets tough, the tough get going."
The Grunt nova bombing an entire fleet was probaby one of the funniest things ive ever seen. keys's final revenge (his idea anyway)

@@just_forgames1069 yup
A game with this guy as the main character would probably be a really nice project for big game developer studio, especially with the new generation of consoles being out now. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
