=== Appearance ===
Despite his appearance, Warden is not a police officer. A concept sketch for Warden's upcoming redesign can be seen in one of [[Yamato|Yamato's]] concept artwork released by [[Yoshi]].<ref>2024-08-11 - [[Yoshi]], Deadlock Discord - ''"[That sketch is] one of a few experimental concepts for warden."''[https://discord.com/channels/1231286446472691825/1231286447131328544/1272231665275768862]</ref> {{HeroIcon|Abrams}} and the {{PageRef|name=Shopkeeper}} mention Warden wearing a cape, despite Warden's current model not having one.<ref>{{HeroIcon|Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Warden): ''"That cape... kinda freaks me out."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Shopkeeper}}'s in-game [[Warden/Quotes#Shopkeeper|voice line]] (Warden buys T4 Item): ''"You ever wanna pawn that cape or gun of yours, you let me know."''</ref> The [[Newscaster]] voice line for Warden's [[Seasonal events|Winter]] skin challenge in 2024 also made a reference to his upcoming redesign, asking "What will he look like next?"<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=Newscaster seasonal warden unlock 01 alt 01.mp3|transcription=Once, Warden was dressed as a cop.

Warden is a burly white man with a brown moustache, wearing a blue uniform with golden accents very similar to an early 20th century [[wikipedia:Law_enforcement_in_the_United_Kingdom|British policeman]] or "bobby". The helmet covers his eyes. He carries in his belt keys, a baton, and a severed glowing blue hand in a cage. His weapon is a large two-handed gun.

Despite his appearance, Warden is not a police officer. His current model matches the ''Deadlock'' art style (instead of ''[[Neon Prime]]''), so it was presumably made for an earlier version of his backstory. A concept sketch for Warden's upcoming redesign can be seen in one of [[Yamato|Yamato's]] concept artwork released by [[Yoshi]].<ref>2024-08-11 - [[Yoshi]], Deadlock Discord - ''"[That sketch is] one of a few experimental concepts for warden."''[https://discord.com/channels/1231286446472691825/1231286447131328544/1272231665275768862]</ref>

Warden was named '''Murphy''' in [[Neon Prime|''Neon Prime'']]. This name was reused for the new character of [[Minor characters|Captain Murphy]] in [[Holliday]]'s [[Visual novels|visual novel]]. He may have been named after the protagonist of the 1987 movie ''[[wikipedia:RoboCop|Robocop]],'' as Murphy was a robot peacekeeper in ''Neon Prime's'' sci-fi setting.

Murphy remained as Warden's character for a short duration in the shift from Neon Prime to Deadlock. There, Murphy was a vigilante police officer stationed in New York.<ref>{{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}}'s removed [[Lady Geist/Quotes#Removed/Unused Voice Lines|voice line]] (killed Murphy): ''"This is what passes for vigilante justice in New York?

Warden's lore was changed to his current lore on [[Update:May 16, 2024|May 16th, 2024]].
