VinWarrior Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hello everyone, the recent hit comic by 343i, Halo: Escalation, contained some interesting story and character choices, including the inclusion of the Arbiter in his new gear, and what he might look like in Halo 5! This is the Thel's look in the comics so far, a shiny gold metal suit of arbiter armor, looking a bit more like a Shipmaster or Councilor's Armor if examined close enough, and a cloak on his left shoulder. This features an explanation as quoted below. Soon after being promoted to Shipmaster, Thel suffered an injury in the training ring due to a mistake. His family hushed up the incident, as well as the resultant visit by a doctor, due to Sangheili culture equating the loss of blood and medical operation by a doctor with a loss of honor. During his convalescence, Thel made an old-fashioned doarmir-fur Shipmaster's cloak, wearing it always to remind him that he could make grave mistakes if he let his guard down. Halo Wikia While this has not been confirmed as his appearance in the next Halo title, if he appears at all, it is still interesting to note and look at for future reference. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo6 Follower Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think that the Arbiter in Halo 5 would definitely make up for the lack of him in halo 4. For me, a Halo without the Arbiter is no Halo at all, and hopefully 343 soon realize that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose The Ace Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thels new armour looks bad *** and very awesome he better be in Halo 5 or ELSE !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Intel Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 The Arbiter is a highly requested comeback, it's possible we may be seeing him soon. I would like to see how his armour looks in-game. It could look very different to the comics. I was really surprised when I first saw the Arbiters new look in Halo: Escalation #1. Halo: Escalation #2 is out on January 8 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi1176 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm pretty sure we will see him again, we have seen him in the comics already as a main character so I think they will fit him in some were in the next halo. How, I don't know but I am sure they will find room for him in the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
