| The descendant of a long line of militant alchemists, Warden's ancestors once trained vigorously for the day they would have to stave off a mystic apocalypse. But as time passed, the meaning behind the training was lost, causing Warden's parents to be unprepared for the first [[maelstrom]]. With the apocalypse on the horizon, Warden was trained since birth, forged into a weapon built specifically towards stopping the [[Patron|Patrons]] from ever entering our world, no matter the cost. | | The descendant of a long line of militant alchemists, Warden's ancestors once trained vigorously for the day they would have to stave off a mystic apocalypse.

(...) That's alarmingly vague.}}</ref>

| Although Warden is committed to protecting humanity at all costs, he does not discriminate against supernatural creatures, instead treating characters like {{PageRef|name=Abrams}} and {{PageRef|name=Ivy}} with respect.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Warden}}'s in-game [[Warden/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Abrams): ''"You fought well, Abrams."''</ref><ref name=":0">{{VoiceLineCite|name=Warden|file=Warden kill tengu 01.mp3|context=(killed Ivy)|transcription=She was a noble creature.}}</ref>

| == Character interactions ==
| |
| | |
| * Warden once looked up to {{HeroIcon|Grey Talon}} and heavily respects him.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Warden|file=Warden kill orion 02.mp3|context=(killed Grey Talon)|transcription=I looked up to you once.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Warden|file=Warden kill orion 01.mp3|context=(killed Grey Talon)|transcription=Don't make me do this, Talon.}}</ref> When on opposing teams, Warden is shocked that Talon would willingly work for the Patrons.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Warden}}'s in-game [[Warden/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Grey Talon): ''"How can you, of all people, align yourself with that thing?"''</ref> While Grey Talon appreciates Warden's conviction,<ref>{{PageRef|name=Grey Talon}}'s in-game [[Grey Talon/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Warden): ''"I appreciate your conviction, Warden."''</ref> he believes that both he and Warden live "hollow lives."<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Warden|hero2=Grey Talon|number=2|hero_quote1=Grey Talon|quote1=Warden... We're the ones with hollow lives.}}</ref>
| |
| * Warden respects {{PageRef|name=Ivy}},<ref name=":0" /> but he also believes she's "meddling in things she doesn't understand."<ref>{{PageRef|name=Warden}}'s in-game [[Warden/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Ivy): ''"You're meddling in things you don't understand, Ivy."''</ref>
| |
| * It's implied that Warden is miserable. The {{PageRef|name=Shopkeeper}}, {{PageRef|name=Viscous}} and {{PageRef|name=Vyper}} point out that Warden never smiles.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Shopkeeper}}'s in-game [[Warden/Quotes#Shopkeeper|voice line]] (buy T4 item during Winter Update): ''"Smile, Warden, it's the holidays."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Viscous}}'s in-game [[Viscous/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Warden) - ''"Warden needs to smile more."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Vyper}}'s in-game [[Vyper/Quotes#Allied Heroes|voice line]] (pass Warden on zipline) ''- "Y'know, that guy needs to smile more".''</ref> {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}} and {{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}} tell Warden that he looks "dour",<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Warden|hero2=Dynamo|number=1|hero_quote1=Dynamo|quote1=You seem impressively dour.}}</ref> with Lady Geist also describing him as looking "perpetually miserable".<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Warden|hero2=Lady Geist|number=2|hero_quote1=Lady Geist|quote1=You're a rather dour bastard, aren't you?|hero_quote2=Lady Geist|quote2=Boring people may say that I'm aloof, but at least I know how to have a good time. But you... you just look... perpetually miserable.}}</ref> {{HeroIcon|Venator}} says that Warden fights as someone who wouldn't have chosen the life he has.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Venator|quotes=Venator/Quotes#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(killed Warden)|transcription=I can tell by the way he fights that this isn't the life he would've chosen.}}</ref>
| |
| ** An unfinished conversation with {{HeroIcon|Grey Talon}} implies that, if Warden had a choice, he wouldn't have trained his whole life to fight the Patrons (Note that as Warden's own line is missing, it is uncertain if he accepts or denies it- Grey Talon merely expresses sorrow at his response).<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Warden|hero2=Grey Talon|number=1|hero_quote1=Grey Talon|quote1=Be honest with me... Is this the life you would have chosen for yourself? (...) I'm sorry.}}</ref>
| |
| * {{PageRef|name=Holliday}} thinks Warden has issues and calls him a "creepy homeschooled kid".<ref>{{PageRef|name=Holliday}}'s in-game [[Holliday/Quotes#Allies|voice line]] (ally Warden Last Stand multikill): ''"That guy's got some issues, but I'm glad he's with us."''</ref><ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Holliday|hero2=Warden|number=2}}</ref> If they're on opposing teams, however, Holliday wishes that they were working together.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Holliday}}'s in-game [[Holliday/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Warden): ''"We could've worked together, Warden."''</ref>
| |
| * Like the {{PageRef|name=Patron|alt_name=Patrons}}, {{PageRef|name=The Doorman}} is also unable to find out exactly what Warden wants, even when Warden is trapped in the [[Baroness Hotel]].<ref>{{PageRef|name=The Doorman}}'s in-game [[The Doorman/Quotes#Hotel Guest Taunt|voice line]] (Taunt Warden): ''"What do you want, Warden?"''</ref> He seems familiar with Warden's parents and derides them as failures.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{PageRef|name=The Doorman}}'s in-game [[The Doorman/Quotes#Hotel Guest Taunt|voice line]] (Taunt Warden): ''"You’re not a man, you’re a war doll, fixing mommy and daddy’s failures."''</ref>
| |
| * {{PageRef|name=Apollo}} respects Warden for his conviction and discipline.<ref name=":2">{{PageRef|name=Apollo}}'s in-game [[Apollo/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Warden): ''"The man had discipline and conviction… it's a shame he didn't fight for us."''</ref>
| |
| * {{PageRef|name=Billy}},<ref>{{PageRef|name=Billy}}'s in-game [[Billy/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Warden): ''"Look who's gonna do whatever mommy and daddy tells him to do."''</ref> {{HeroIcon|Calico}},<ref>{{HeroIcon|Calico}}'s in-game [[Calico/Quotes#Enemy Heroes|voice line]] - ''"Warden, one day you'll understand the cost of blind loyalty."''</ref> {{HeroIcon|Pocket}}<ref>{{HeroIcon|Pocket}}'s in-game [[Pocket/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] - ''"Stop living your parent's life and lead your own!"''</ref> and {{HeroIcon|Mirage}}<ref>{{HeroIcon|Mirage}}'s in-game [[Mirage/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] - ''"Blind devotion isn't loyalty, it's ignorance."''</ref> call Warden out for his blind devotion to his parents' mission.
