The Arbiter’s armor
Blink and you’ll miss it. At 1:19 in the trailer (and a few other quick shots), we get a quick shot of an Elite wearing a very familiar set of armor activating an energy sword. Is this the Arbiter we know from the games? That’s hard to say right now, especially as “the Arbiter” is a title that many characters in Halo’s lore have claimed.
The specific character often known to Halo fans as “the Arbiter” was introduced in Halo 2 and named Thel Vadam. He was a former Covenant fleet commander and, controversially, that game’s second playable character.
