""In the Elite culture, names are considered a privilege. Only things of importance are named. The Elites generally consider humans to be nameless, and resent the fact that humans have assigned the label "Elite" to them, as humans have no standing to be naming things.
Because names are important to the Elite society, each element of the name has a meaning. Elite names are contructed from a series of parts. An example is Ado 'Mortumee. "Ado" is his given name, which is all he had until he was considered an adult. As an adult he earned the right to carry the badge name "'Mortumee". This name is made up of three parts: MOR (an adjectival descriptor, such as "fast", or "deadly"), TUM ( a créche name, basically his family name), and EE (an honorific indicating he is a participant in the military). Most Elites will have names with this kind of construction.""
Thanks NLANE1284 for this very intristing information. But I wonder if they will reveal the Arbiters name in Halo 3. And I wonder If the Arbiter will change his armour, because he is no longer part of the covenant, mabey he will wear armour more suited to his home planet?
Or perhaps armor that's not so ancient and outdated and obsolete.
But only if they updated MC's too. You know, for the sake of balance?
