Subject: The Brutes and Tartarus

Damn you 353 guilty spark! You killed the greatest stereotypical african american gun toting sergeant ever to tread upon a fictional futuristic setting!

Has anyone ever noticed Tartarus was the only Brute with hair on the top of his head. I went back and replayed all the Halos last week and when I got to the point where you are in High Charity in Halo 2 I noticed all the brutes had Cul De' Sacs. They were bald on the top of their heads and had hair growing on the sides. Tartarus however has a full beard, the hair on the side of his head and a Mohawk. Do you think that hair for the brutes is actually a sign of an alpha male? Or a show of leaderships? Maybe all the brute chieftans had Mohawks? Maybe I am over analyzing this? I just couldn't imagine why an entire race of creatures would be bald on the top of their heads except for one.

I am Katsu Kage, an assassin trained in the art of stealth. I was on a recon mission when I discovered a blue box hidden among some rubble. Once I entered the blue box it had taken me to a land far away. It was strange and fantastic! There I met PatikaVoom, the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. She showed me this land, then returned with me to the blue box. She called it a TARDIS and seemed to know how to work it. We left together and have been on many adventures, with many more to come!

Nice find!

Thanks. It is what happens when boredom takes over.

Most likely this.

Also, the Brutes in Halo 2 didn't wear power armour because Tartarus did not approve of the armour, which is why the Brutes in Halo 3:ODST wear the armour as they are not part of Tartarus' clan or are not under his direct control. So maybe the Halo 3 Brute Chieftains have head hair... but I've never cared to look. Maybe you could look for us?

Rofl, maybe they wear the little helmets too much, even sleep with them on, so they go bald.

Yeah. I could check in ODST next time I come across a chieftan. I will be sure to knock his helmet off.

He was Chieftan of all the brutes. He states so right before you fight him as the arbiter. (Epic fight by the way. Damn I loved Halo 2.)
