Who or What is the Warden Eternal?

Hey guys, after watching the Halo 5G E3 demo I was very impressed with the overall look and feel of the graphics, the smoothness of the gameplay and the way it flows overall. Whilst it didn’t have the WOW factor that would have really hyped Halo 5, I’m really interested in this Warden Eternal character.

Take this with a pinch of salt:

During the Battle of Sunaion, the Warden was encountered by Fireteam Osiris and incapacitated them in battle with a hardlight blade. It then informed Spartan Jameson Locke that John-117 had been granted access to a nearby Guardian, though such permission was denied to Locke and his team.[1]

In the Forerunner Saga, it was a Monitor charged with detaining criminals and an ally to the UR-Didact’s arch enemy―Faber, the Master Builder. It seems as if now the Warden has been conscripted into the Promethean ranks… But who―or what―does it serve?
By the way, did anybody else notice that the Warden had the voice of the Didact?

I noticed some similarities, it could be the composed version of Didact after falling into the composer at the end of Halo 4. I am very interested to play to the Halo 5G campaign and experience the “Fall of a Hero” and become the “Traitor”. That and also Buck. :smiley:

It did not sound like Cortana at all.

Yeah, I’m not quite sure where that claim is coming from.

Reasons people will think something is Cortana

  • It’s an AI
  • It’s looks female
  • It sounds female
  • It’s blue
  • It’s something mysterious
