"The Sangheili are renowned among the species of the Covenant for possessing various codes of conduct possessed by idealised warriors. While famous for governing their wartime practices, this code affects virtually every aspect of a Sangheili's life; marriages, political and diplomatic actions, and personal conduct. This code is often used to justify military actions that may seem to the general populace to be unneccessary and unwarranted, but for the most part this is mere interpretation."@en . .

Though long sundered from their Sanghelios brethren, the Sangheili of Ketesh also possess their own warrior code, known as Kaaranese Chivalry, or the Oldamara Code after its place of origin. If the Sanghelios warrior code can be compared to Japanese Bushido, then the Kaaranese system is more akin to medieval European chivalry, with a heavier emphasis on the scholarly and religious applications, but no less applicable to combat."@en .
