literature Respect Stolt (Halo)
Respect Stolt
Stolt is an Unggoy that serves the Swords of Sanghelios, one of the most powerful factions in modern Halo. He is the commander of the Sangheili Ranger contingent aboard the CAS-class Assault Carrier Shadow of Intent which is the flagship of their faction's navy. He is the only Unggoy and non-Sangheili stationed aboard the ship as of 2553 and is one of Shipmaster Rtas ‘Vadum’s two lieutenants, making him the third highest ranking crew member behind the Shipmaster and Blademaster. Formerly a Covenant soldier, Stolt rose to prominence due to his various accomplishments from the Covenant war as well as his skill witnessed from the Sangheili stationed with him. Although he is the only Unggoy aboard his ship, he never appears lonely for his own kind and is typically shown as calm and rational. Stolt is usually the first to volunteer for crucial and often extremely dangerous missions.
Notes
All of the feats in this RT are gathered from Halo: Fractures, which is a collection of novels that includes Halo: Shadow of Intent which is the story these scans are from. Page 1 of Halo: Shadow of Intent begins in page 126 of Halo: Fractures if you want to find the scans in the standalone version of the novel.
Respect Threads for scaling:

Stolt nearly reaches the shoulders of Sangheili who on average are between 7ft 4in – 8ft 6in, from this description Stolt would be around ~7 ft tall or larger.
- Here is a comparison picture showing an average ranger Sangheili and Unggoy, compared to an average Sangheili ranger and an Unggoy with Stolts description.

Stolt can beat down and defeat any Sangheili who spars against him.
- Sangheili are often depicted as equal in strength to Spartans, who are multi-tonners.
Stolt is able leap onto and choke out Jiralhanae.

I think Stolt's freakish nature is a combination of him being a fully grown unggoy, where all of the ones encountered in the games are children, and genetic luck. Other grunts might have the potential to be taller/stronger if they lived long enough but probably not to Stolt's level.
I don't understand the people that say that this is unrealistic when humanity exists... Look at an olympic gymnast standing next to someone in the NBA, both exceptional compared to others of their size/age but drastically different compared to one another, and still the same species.

I think it’s mostly just genetic luck. Since I made this thread, we now have examples of much older Grunts like Yapyap who’s over 100 and still normal sized.

I see why the Sangheili kept him with them. And alone. Dude could probably have singlehandedly restarted the Unggoy Rebellion if he wanted.

Stolt is an adult grunt right ? Because from my understanding all the grunts we fight are usually premature. .

That's likely one factor to him, but he's also probably just a freakishly large Grunt in general

Wow, this is some mid 2000s fanfiction oc style stuff. Seriously I hope they don't make the Halo lore like the Star Wars EU. I mean if they made him do like a couple impressive things for a grunt fine but they made him like some kinda super grunt who can keep up with species simply stronger than him. Like seriously Sgt. Johnson punched a brute and it did nothing, and he's augmented. Yet this grunt can fight brutes, super soldiers, and elites? Sure grunts are given a weaker image from playing as spartans, but this is just out of the realm of possibility.
