So what happens if a Malakite is freed of all their oaths?

Well... I'd assume supperiors don't remove their core(ie starting) oathes, especially the 2 oathes that all malakim share (kill demons and never surrender). It would remove too much of their personality, they'd lose their driving force and their purpose in existance. Perhaps the unfornatue Malakim that this happened to would spend the rest of eternity slumped in front of the TV watching talkshows.

Or...
They lose all self control and go bang and heven spends the rest of the day cleaning bits of Malakim out of the carpet.

I'd say... go to p. 50 and extrapolate from: "When a Malakite's oath expires [...] he must replace the oath immediately."

If you want an alternate possibility you could have the Malakite simply stop being a Malakite if all oaths are removed. If it was originally another choir and became a Malakite it would revert to that choir, if it wasn't it would become whatever choir it was closest to (with the GM to determine what that means.)

It has no basis in canon, but if you think of the oaths as being what makes Malakim Malakim then take them away and maybe David would become a Cherub. If you don't think of the oaths that way then don't use this idea.

The real question is why would superior would want to take away a Malakite's oaths.

There's nothing to indicate that it has to be an Angelic Superior...

I did think about that - but Its hard for hell to get hold of a living malakim IMHO. The never give up/ surrender oath makes it hard to bring them in alive.
