'''Oath Wardens''' are an order of [[Sangheili]] warriors who operate as bounty hunters and officers for the enforcement of broken contracts; within Sangheili culture, they are frowned upon as little more than common mercenaries. When hired, they act to force their targets to honour a broken pledge, or deliver their decapitated heads back to the offended party. Despite this, they have a strict code that prohibits them from being hired as assassins, though this can be negotiated around by a shrewd party by framing the Oath Warden's task in a way that would inherently necessitate killing their target.{{Ref/Site|Id=OC2|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-outcasts-preview-2|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo: Outcasts - Preview 2|D=24|M=07|Y=2023}} | {{Quote|Oath Wardens never share their secrets with outsiders.

The guild of the Oath Wardens tend to have a higher view of their own order than that shared by their fellow Sangheili, viewing themselves as equals to other professions such as [[blademaster]]s, farmers, and doctors. They have numerous internal codes and arts that are kept unknown to outsiders.{{Ref/Reuse|OC2}} | The guild of the Oath Wardens tend to have a higher view of their own order than that shared by their fellow Sangheili, viewing themselves as equals to other professions such as [[blademaster]]s, farmers, and doctors.
