* FantasyCounterpartCulture: According to WordOfGod, the Jiralhanae were designed to invoke the Migration Period Germanic tribes known for overthrowing the Western Roman Empire, including the Vandals, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, and Lombards.Lombards. Massive and robust, these aliens tower over most other species in the Covenant, much like how Roman authors described Germanics in terms of their appearance. In ''2'', most of the Jiralhanae wear cap-like helmets reminiscent of the ''spanghelm'' Germanic warriors wore during the Great Migration. They're the muscle of the Covenant's armed forces, similar to the ''foederati'', Germanic mercenaries paid with land and resources by the Western Roman military in exchange for their services. Jiralhanae behaviour resembles negative stereotypes that Romans had of Germanics: uncivilized, tribalistic barbarians quick to anger on top of being known for their violence and constant arguing. Following the end of the Human-Covenant War, various Jiralhanae-led neo-Covenant factions - such as the Banished and Children of Oth Sonin - have emerged as prominent forces in intergalactic politics. This is reminiscent of the rise of the powerful Germanic barbarian kingdoms like the Ostrogoths and Franks after the fall of Rome.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The Truth in ''Halo 2'' is not the same Truth in ''Halo 3''. In his debut, he's calm to the point of being [[TheStoic stone-faced]], and distinctly secular, in contrast to the dogmatic Regret and moderate Mercy. In general, he lacked religious reverence, and had a calculating and manipulative character. In ''Halo 3'', however, he suddenly and inexplicably turns into a [[LargeHam bombastic]], [[ItsAllAboutMe narcissistic megalomaniac]], who outwardly is just as fanatical about the Great Journey as his fellow Prophets, with hardly a trace of his former intelligence and subtlety. There are various [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Watsonian and Doylist]] explanations which attempt to explain this sudden change; however, it's worth noting that when he appeared in further expanded universe works, even those written or produced long after Halo 3 was released, the writers tended to ignore his Halo 3 portrayal and depict him much more in line with his Halo 2 persona.
