Hehe, for a fellow Rtas fan, sure. ;)
Birthdate: Sept 21, 2487 (I am assuming this is coverted from whatever calender system the Sangheili use)
Height: 7'11"
Both his entry and the entry for the Shadow of Intent also implies that he and his supporters didn't just take back a cruiser, but a whole damn fleet.
That's really the only 'new' info on him.
Wait dosen't that make Thel even taller than before it he's 7'11"?
Thel was revealed to be 7'10" in the Halo Encyclopedia: the visual guide still has him at this height. The 7'11" height is for Rtas 'Vadum, aka Half-Jaw.
Oh, they changed the average height of the Elites again, only this time they gave an average height range of between 7'4" - 8'6".
As for Brutes, I cannot tell what is new with them in the book as I don't give a lick about Brutes, so I don't keep up with lore on them.
For those that are trying to find the book: I got mine off of Amazon.com.
On-topic: I speculate that the Elites in Headhunters are a highly specialized/trained group from the SpecOps devision, likely put together to specifically hunt the 'demons' (Spartans). As for who authorized their founding/leads them, I have no idea. Just have to wait and see if 343 decides to do anything more with them.
Thanks a bunch bro. I'm really happy to see 8'6" down as an Elite height again. It's really strange to find no Brute info, I would like to see their wieght sorted out into something more believable and this 8'5" myth. Maybe the same goes for them 8'5" - 9'?
