Well Master Chief does have a real name.John,as for his last name no one knows...I guess because no one has called him by his birth name for a long time.Master Chief is just his rank.As for the arbiter,it's a similar situation to the chief...Arbiter is just his title,short for arbitrator.(I'm not going to get into what an arbitrator does because its an actual term which basically means a person who is chosen to be kind of a neutral person to settle a conflict between groups)The arbiter was a very honorable position until the profits came into the picture(Just a little side note).So much like the Chief,Arby's full name is unknown.(Probably because he was shamed...when he became the arbiter he was stripped of his rank and of any past honor only to be known as "The Arbiter")But the Arbiter does have a name,a Sangheli name it has just never been revealed in Halo.Maybe this will be something in Halo 4?I have a feeling a lot of old secrets will come into the light in Halo 4.Sorry I didn't tell you much you didn't already know and I hope I helped you learn a little more about the Arbiter. :)
He does have a name, it's Thel Vadam.
