The Warden Eternal is seemingly allied with Chief, telling Locke his passage is denied. However, do you think it’s possible that after the Didact got composed, his essence was sent around and he was able to overtake the Warden Eternal? He could just be using Chief for the time being?

Im pretty confident that the didact was never composed and that the chief reduced him to ash in one of the installations control rooms. I just think Chief may be working with some prometheans, and that would mean locke and the rest of his team would be MC’s enemy.
Not particularly, no.
The Warden Eternal seems to have an entirely distinct purpose that isn’t all that similar to the Didact’s. I doubt they’re the same.
Yes, very few people seem to pick up on the fact that the Warden has the Didact’s voice. Go back and listen to him say “denied”.

The Didact fell into the Composer Forge. His official UNSC status, as stated by the Chief, is “contained”… I bet the Librarian also thought that he was “contained”.

No. The Didact is a confirmed kill. In “The Next 48 Hours,” a comic that follows the days after the destruction of the Didact’s ship, it follow’s Blue Team’s mission to another installation, where the Didact was, unharmed (see star below). Throughout the comic, there is a conflict between the Didact and Blue team, in which there are injuries to Blue Team, but the Didact is officially killed by being stabbed. Therefore, it cannot be the Didact.
*Remember, the Forerunners had been further ahead in the evolutionary chain than humans, so the Forerunners were immune to the Composer. Also, the Composer was a weapon to be used against humans, not forerunners.

you should catch up with the escalation comics, because
his official status right now is “disintegrated”.
I think it’s a testament to the poor character and art design happening at 343 that they can’t make an alien character completely distinguishable from another. For another example, see Jul Covenant vs Arbiter’s Covenant. Same armor, different colors. I’m honestly surprised the Warden Eternal isn’t the Didact’s exact character model with a white and orange skin over the top like they’ve done with multiplayer weapons.

…I really hope this is a sarcastic post.
The Forerunners have always had some pretty uniform looking technology, trying to use the fact that a Forerunner Monitor looks similar to the Armor a Forerunner Didact uses as an argument against 343’s character design doesn’t hold up all too well.

Not exactly true, from Halopedia: “The Promethean Knights are ancient Prometheans and Humans that the Composer altered by giving them a mechanized body that is immune to the Flood, which can only infect living tissue.”
Also, in the comic John stabs the Didact in the eye, he does not die from his wound. His “death” is rather ambiguous as it might seem like he disintegrated as a portion of the Halo ring crashed, or he could have been composed (John does say the Didact is “contained”). I’m not sure how the lore takes this, because I thought it was established that the Didact cannot be composed due to his new form.

i picked up on that as soon as i heard his voice

People don’t pick it up because they’re voiced by completely different people? lol…
Warden Eternal, Didact - different names, different characters.
I really don’t see the didact in his voice or appearance at all. I mean, he’s a humanoid robot, wereas didact is more like a body suit with random floating bits. The floating bits arent even similarly positioned or shaped. The head likewise has a completely different form. All they have in common is they are male, hover, and have the restraint field.
Why would he care about a new name?

Wow…you sir, are reaaaly reaching.

This post is so wrong…
-
It’s The Next 72 Hours.
-
The stab barely does anything, and he is later hit by 3 composers and a chunk of a halo ring.
-
Beyond some damage to John’s helmet, blue team seemed rather fine.
-
John states his status as ‘contained’. The official universe entry is even " they tricked the Didact into using the Composers on himself. Effectively turned into a digital essence, the Office of Naval Intelligence currently considers the Didact “contained”, though it remains to be seen if his threat to humanity is truly at an end." You can even find the article here if you don’t believe me.
-
Forerunners are by no means naturally immune to the composer, the Didact merely said it wouldn’t work on his ‘new form’ after experimenting with anti-flood countermeasures. This doesn’t even really guarantee immunity, merely that it wouldn’t work right.
-
The Composer firing on earth was the first time it’d really been used as a ‘weapon’. It was originally a device meant to give forerunners immortality, but was flawed
While for some reason I don’t think we have seen the last of the Ur-Didact, I don’t think he is the Warden Eternal. The Warden seems to be less antagonistic to the humans and has his own motives that seem to involve protecting the Domain, which is now reactivating, and the Guardians. I am not sure about his allegiance but somehow I don’t think he is actually apart of the Promethean’s now serving Jul. Either way I doubt we will be seeing the Didact any time soon in Halo.

That’s just a similar accent (which I find to be an absolutely badass accent and am now calling the Forerunner accent), not the same voice. Either way, Warden Eternal and the Ur-Didact are definitely not the same.
Keeping this theory going…
There’s a moment when he picks Chief up in The Breaking (Mission 14).
If you look at his hand…
SIX FINGERS!!!
That characteristic is only found with one Forerunner; the Didact. This was a result of his insane experimentation.
Thus, it is a possibility that the Didact was composed became the Warden Eternal, manipulating Cortana (note his interest in her during Midnight of Halo 4) to eventually take over the Mantle, preventing Humans from attaining it.
But hey, that’s just a theory.

No forerunners just have 6 fingers, its mentioned at several points.
There are too many differences. I know they seem similar but there are too many things that allow us to see that the Warden Eternal is Not The Didact.
Frankie has said that the Didact and the Warden Eternal are different.
Not sure where i saw it but it was after E3.
