Would you let a player play a neutral Oathbreaker Paladin if they really wanted to be a neutral oathbreaker paladin?

want DM’s honest opinions:

would you let a player play a neutral Oathbreaker Paladin if they really wanted to be a neutral oathbreaker paladin? why or why not?

i can see several reasons as to how they could exist, but i want yall’s opinions for those unfamiliar, in the DMG, an oathbreaker paladin requires the player to be evil to take classes in Oathbreaker

I would want to have a clear understanding of what the player wanted and what “neutral” means in this context, and how that meshes with the story the Oathbreaker is telling, but yeah, I’m open to it. The entire premise of that class is "I have broken every bond I held dear, turned my back on righteousness, and embraced wickedness."

Like… that ain't very neutral. It would have to shift to fit the new mold.

All paladin Sacred Oaths in 5e are self-contained, no outside source or being required.

The Oathbreaker is special in that they eschew all such codes and are forces of death and suffering.

Are you looking for a more personal freedom focused type of paladin?

yeah, sort of
conquest seems too harsh, for the character i have in mind, and treachery seems a little OP and id feel a bit bad using it

the ancients i know could be neutral, but thats not the vibe i had in mind either?
if it helps, i wanted this character to be shadowfell based Ancients definitely leans any flavor of good, while Devotion is solidly lawful good.

Vengeance can go neutral, but it's very much about destroying evil and being okay with getting your hands dirty to do it.

What is you want this paladin to be/do?
