I don't think it was because they were arbiter's on suicide mission's because arbiter's have special armor, but if anyone can come up with a reasonable answer it might solve the mystery of the glyph's so just post here what you think.

they were there because they were the #1 covenant soldier at the time. keep in mind that that odst was set in the middle of halo 2. before the elites rebelled against the covenant. the brutes killed the elites in the first mission when you play as buck.

Maybe it was because they were there when the prophets told the brutes to rise up.

Also, what is with those glyphs? Are they clues leading you to some other prize? A weapon cache? A secret level?
Or something more?

Dr. Angelo, PhD.

Yup.

They're dead when you get to them, but there were Elites in New Mombasa.

It's when you play Buck for the first time. They're out of the way, but Buck asks Dare about it and she's like "Classified".

Watch your shebs, vod.

they probably all didnt return to the Prophet of Regret's ship in Halo 2 so naturally some would remain. He had to bang out fast so they probabaly couldn't recall all their troops at the time. Then -Blam!- Elites rebel, Large scale invasion led by Prophet of Truth begins, Brutes come, Brutes kill. Shazam.

Yea I would say that the elites were left behind in New Mombasa after Regret's ship left and once the brutes arrived they just mass slaughtered the unsuspecting elites still stuck on Earth.
