Furthermore, when first donning the armor, 'Vadam lacked mandible guards or a shoulder-mounted light that he possessed after the Great Schism , where his active camouflage was also significantly upgraded.
As of , Arbiter Thel 'Vadam dons a ceremonial battledress that he believes serves as tribute to traditional armor style previously worn by the Arbiters, while also serving as a symbol of transition that represents his new-found role as a leader of his people and of a united Sanghelios.

But he wastes like a whole clip on him Reclaimer Rob. Not everyone has as good of aim as Spartans. Just count the gray boxes round the walls. Mutoid Log. There is quite a lot of Arbiter caskets in the Mausoleum. The number 17 comes from "Seventeeth Arbiter in the line of immaculate succession". Choose what you believe, and what whicever means.
Deleted User. Now you know the question lololol! I thought the Halo Wars one was the 17th, not sure though. Well there wasn't a new Arbiter in Halo 3, it was the same one that was introduced in the beginning of Halo 2. In Halo 1, there was no Arbiter. The one in Halo Wars was an amazing leader and fighter, and after many crushing victories for his clan, he tried to kill the leader of his own clan, but failed.
He was tortured and imprisoned, just like the Arbiter we know from Halo 2, but then, just like the Prophets did in the trilogy, they came to this Elite and told him they had a new purpose for him, he would become the Arbiter, and be their instrument, and of course the shamed Elite would do anything for them at this point.
You also see the beginnings of this in the most recent book. The Mausoleum houses a very large number of caskets that reach high into the air amidst references of the triumphs of past Arbiters, including the settling of the "Unggoy Rebellion," and "Taming of the Mgalekgolo.
As Guilty Spark noted to Sesa 'Refumee , the Prophets always consigned the position of Arbiter to certain Sangheili who had "significant political influence" among the Covenant. Oftentimes, those same warriors would question, even challenge the decisions of the Prophets, and that skepticism often gave rise to the charges of heresy, which would remove opponents to the Prophets. Once they were branded Arbiter, the warriors would run to their deaths and maintain the power structure of the Covenant.
Upon the Changing of the Guard and the Great Schism , the Sangheili fully broke from the Covenant after learning the truth of the Halo Rings and the Great Journey, with Thel 'Vadam retaining his armor and rank of Arbiter as he led his fellow warriors against the Jiralhanae and the San'Shyuum.
Vadam would join with the Master Chief in finishing the war with the Prophets, leading to the Arbiter finally reclaiming his honor by assassinating the prophet who disgraced him - the Prophet of Truth. In the present day, with the Covenant reduced to various cadres, the rank of Arbiter is no longer a badge of shame, and has returned to its position of privilege as it was in ancient times.
The armor an Arbiter wears is kept in the Mausoleum of the Arbiter until it is bestowed upon a new holder of that title. However, it is fully functional as a combat suit, incorporating a heads-up display , energy shield system , and active camouflage. Ripa 'Moramee, the seventeenth Arbiter in the line of Immaculate Succession, backed by a large Covenant force.
The technology used is all common to the standard Sangheili Combat Harness , though of an older design. While modern Covenant active camouflage has a virtually unlimited duration, the Arbiter's camouflage lasts only for a few seconds, though still enough to give him a tactical advantage. The very nature of the Arbiter means that they are sent on dangerous, often suicidal missions, where recovery of the corpse and the armor it wears may be impossible. However, the technology used in the suit is usually the same, with no improvements in the design to improve its capabilities.
It may be that this is intentional, in order to test the Arbiter's skills, or due to the tradition. The armor may be subject to some small amount of customization. Ripa 'Moramee was taller than the average Sangheili, at over 8'7, while Thel 'Vadam stood at 7'10''. Further, when first donning the armor, Thel lacked mandible guards or a shoulder-mounted light that he possessed after the Great Schism , where his Active camouflage was also significantly upgraded.
Ripa's armor seemed to be bulletproof but possessed no shields. Ripa's armor also had far more advanced active camouflage as he was able to sneak up on Sgt. Forge on two separate occasions while fully cloaked. His unit in the game is also able to obtain a permanent cloak, however this may be just for game play purposes. Another theory about different armor sizes and apparent customization is that the armor was not ancient as it was made out to be.
It may, in fact, be made new if the old armor is lost or if the current armor doesn't fit the new Arbiter.
