*Spoilers*Yes, it was the Arbiter.*Spoilers*

The last elite to show up,(the one who's foot you see)is in fact the Arbiter. The arbiters use their left hand as their sword hand, every other elite uses their right. On top of this, the armor is at best a darker color, similar to the color of the Arbiter armor.
Before any idiots come along:
1. This is not the same Arbiter as in the one in Halo 2/3. As was confirmed by Halo Wars, Arbiters can change pretty much right as the one before dies.
2. Arbiter armor is the darker, lightly armored armor set. It is not the gold armor that the Arbiter character in Halo 2 is shown to be wearing before he is chosen as the Arbiter.
3. It is very obviously not a wristblade that is unsheathed as the cutscene ends. The tip of the blade is far too elongated and it's clear that it doesn't come from his wrist due the distance we are from him as the camera.

Whoops didn't see your edit. [url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Arbiter#Known_Arbiters]Some reading.[/url] [Edited on 11.13.2010 1:43 AM PST]

'it fled, as we set fire to their planet, but i followed with all the ships in my command'. I think arbiter was busy tracking the autumn on the shadow of intent to be on the ground. Its possible though, but someone needs to investigate the shape of the armours foot. EDIT: crap i forgot arbiter wasnt the arbiter yet. Sry. Ignore me. [Edited on 11.13.2010 1:21 AM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dare410 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] FleetAdmiralBob What would this Arbiter's mission be? Killing of an outgunned, lone Spartan on a dead planet? Doesn't this Arby have somewhere more important to get to? Say, Castle Base? Regret's Earth Fleet? ALPHA HALO? [/quote] The Covenant's forces aren't lead by anyone, they randomly disperse themselves onto Reach during the campaign with NO strategy whatsoever. At least this is what I'm told... Who would lead the fleets?[/quote] Shipmasters like the Arbiters good buddy in Halo 2 and 3. They take orders directly from the Prophets and no one else.
-
It could even be a hint that 6 killed the arbiter. Why is there a new one in CE? Cause the previous one was killed. If not, then this could be the arby from Halo 3.
-
You spoiler tags are -blam!- useless if you actually spoil something without hiding it.
-
I barely noticed that Elite- but now that you mention it that totally could be possible.
-
I don't think so. Arbiters are for suicide missions. They go with a very small amount of help and usually come back alone if they do at all. There was no need for the Arbiter to go to Reach. The Covenant demolished Reach with relative ease, and even if there were unforeseen complications, an Arbiter wouldn't do much.
-
this could be an arbiter that was given the task of capturing the pillar of autumn but because he failed, he just decided to play with noble six for a bit while reach was erased from the universe.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] darklarik3519 [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAOo8nE8_Jg]I remember someone once modded Halo CE and added a camara that dislocated from the cinematic camera, and we where able to see the chief taking of his helmet to see another helmet. [/url] I wonder if someday someone will do the same so we can see what armor this "arbiter" is using.[/quote] Probably just a leg and an arm trusting Bungie :P
-
thel is one of my favs...
-
*sigh*
-
Here's my theory: It's some random-ass elite who "unsheathes" his sword to give a dramatic close to 6's death. You guys are basing this off of a foot? And, what, he holds it in his left hand? So what, Bungie just used one model in the game for Elites carrying swords. It's not that they wouldn't favor either hand, Bungie just didn't animate it because who gives a flying -blam!-.
-
You think seeing the tip of an energy sword and the fraction of a boot proves it's the arbiter? lol. wow

When he first fought Forge he used his right hand. The only reason he ended up using a sword with his left hand for the majority of his final fight was because he got the other blade stuck in the slipspace drive. Thel. Right hand. Just play through Halo 2 and 3 to see that. Fal from Halo Legends. Also right handed with the ability to duel wield. So please, tell me what source states that Arbiters have a preference to use their left hand as a sword hand. By the way as for your second point. Do yourself a favor. Look at you hand at a distance. Now put your hand closer to your face. Did it get darker? Yeah... When objects tend to block your field of view, and subsequently the majority of light sources, said objects tend to be darker than they would normally appear.[/quote] /thread.

Anyway, he can quote Halo Legends as long as he doesn't state odd one out was canon. Everything but that parody episode are considered part of the canon.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] OptimalRift Shame on you all for not paying attention to the lore. - At this point there was no Arbiter. - The elite who became the arbiter is the one who led the fleet after the pillar of autumn. - Start of Halo 2, the arbiter is appointed for failing to kill the demon before he destroyed the holy ring.[/quote] Way to eat your own words Rift, there have been many Arbiters, not just the one from Halo 2/3, this was brought up many times throughout the thread, did you not read?

Yep... that sure is conclusive proof right thar. /sarcasm I would say it is impossible to id anyone based on the silhoutte of a foot and and being left handed. Besides, the only two elites that were Arbiters (that I'm familiar with) either wielded two blades or one in the right hand. Heck, the one from Halo Wars was still right-handed as viewed here: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_cRZ24BVKM[/url] Edit: But if the OP wants to pretend it was the arbiter, knock himself out. As I said: it's impossible to ID anyone from that shot. [Edited on 11.12.2010 9:53 PM PST]

I think since the sun was facing the other direction the elites foot seemed darker tan it actually is. but that's just me.
-
It was put to good use.
-
It was not the Arbiter. There was no Arbiter for a period of time, namely between the events of Wars and Halo 2.
-
They probably just made it like that for the plain fact that if he come out on the left you wouldnt be able to see the red spartans sword go down [Edited on 11.12.2010 9:37 PM PST]

Unless he is actually going to stand underneith the beam's firing area, this wouldn't be suicidal. And in Halo 2 it was shown that if an arbiter CAN survive the so-called suicide mission, nobody will stop them. Edit: You know the majority of the planets been glassed, cause actually you're on a beach, with the ocean evaporated.[/quote] Proof of that last statement? The majority of Reach was UNTOUCHED. It was only major cities and bases that got glassed. This can be seen as they glassed New Alexandria, the Airbase at Sword base, and parts of the ship breaking yards. I doubt the UNSC used an ocean to store ships waiting to be taken apart.

Possibly, but he is most likely the a normal Elite. [Edited on 11.12.2010 9:35 PM PST]
