It was in the Halo Graphic Novel.
Pity I don't have any of the comics.
Filling a significant portion of the screen could also serve to indicate that there are even more Elites in the background, thus removing all sense of hope that the player may have for 6 surviving at this point.
Yes the significance of the position of the elite can lead to numerous outcomes, like it being a sign of the futility that is noble sixes resistance as you had stated, or that it's indicative of showing that he is dead without a doubt.
Multiple speculative conclusions can be drawn from this but to me at least the left handed elite seems to be the more likely conclusion.
Hypothesising should be based on some facts, to fit facts. Otherwise it is aimless speculation. Part of this is also being sceptical and testing ideas to make sure that they are valid.
Yes, but if I wanted to have built a hypothesis and take it farther into a theory I would have steered away from this thread the instant the discussion was about finding out who the elite was based on the left hand. It's my personal interest in speculative threads that leads me to post here.
The quintessential argument for an Arbiter is that the sword is in his left hand.
It's also an argument made by those who have only skimmed the series. It was my intent to only mention the possibility, not to treat it as a fact.
Arbiters can be different Elites, therefore whatever hand an Arbiter will use is dynamic. This is no evidence. The only way this could be, in any way, considered evidence is if Arbiters are only left handed. This is not the case.
Yes I understand this, the only arbiter that we know of that is left handed is Thel, Ripa on the other hand appears at first to be right handed, but it's highly possible that he is ambidextrous.
Again in response to the quote above, my post had the intent of being speculative given the fact that the thread itself was ultimately going to end on the fact that A) We don't know for sure who the arbiter was at the time if there even was one, and B) The evidence for that particular arbiter to be there at his death is non existent. But the thread doesn't have to end there, and I usually like to see speculative threads continue, they always start off slow but it can easily be picked up by highly imaginative people.
