The Warden Eternal distrusts humans and appears to hold the species in contempt. During the height of the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]], in which the Forerunners imposed peace on most species by force, the Warden saw humanity as "''animals that brought chaos and blood''" as the [[ancient humanity|prehistoric human civilization]] had successfully developed without the Forerunners and later went to [[Human-Forerunner wars|war]] with the ecumene.{{Ref/Reuse|breaking}} Unlike Cortana, he was unwilling to trust even Blue Team. Upon his first encounter with [[John-117]], he taunted the Spartan and attempted to manipulate him into distrusting Cortana.{{Ref/Reuse|reunion}} After being defeated by [[Fireteam Osiris]] several times, the Warden became humiliated at his failures.{{Ref/Reuse|genesis}} Although, according to Cortana, he was impressed with Blue Team's skills after they had defeated several of his bodies, though he refused to admit it.{{Ref/Reuse|breaking}}
