Warden is a Hero in Deadlock. He is a tough, tenacious brawler with a technique for alchemy and fighting the supernatural. Opening fights with either a Binding Word or a disrupting Alchemical Flask, Warden dashes into the fight to brawl at close range and utilizing his Willpower for protection and staying power. In desperate situations, Warden can trigger his Last Stand, damaging and stealing life from all foes in front of him.
A militant alchemist from a long line of the same, Warden is a superstitious member of a family that has trained for the day they would have to stave off a mystic apocalypse. Now with the supernatural all around them, Warden was raised to be a supernatural killing machine dedicated to stopping the Patrons from ever entering our world.

“Most people think the supernatural came into the world 50 years ago. They’re wrong. Its presence shaped folklore for generations… and as long as there have been people afraid of the shadows, there have been those who dedicated their lives to fighting in them.
Coming from a lineage of militant alchemists, Warden’s family always trained for the day they would have to stave off a mystic apocalypse… but as time passed the importance of the lessons seemed less and less important. What once was viewed as a sincere warning slowly morphed into being perceived as amusing anecdotes told by their superstitious grandparents.
When the portal opened in Central Park, Warden’s parents realized not only was everything they were told was true, they were unprepared. Refusing to let the next generation fall asleep on the job, Warden was trained since birth to be a supernatural killing machine with one purpose: stopping the Patrons from ever entering our world.
Warden hides his true motives from the Patrons, despite their telepathic abilities.[1][2] As such, the Patrons likely don't know that Warden is working against their goals. He also seems to hide his motivations from his allies, based on his conversation with Holliday. [3]
Although Warden is committed to protecting humanity at all costs, he does not discriminate against supernatural creatures. He treats characters like Abrams and Ivy with respect, while showing clear contempt for certain humans like Lash and Paradox.[4]
Despite his appearance, Warden is not a police officer. A concept sketch for Warden's upcoming redesign can be seen in one of Yamato's concept artwork released by Yoshi.[5] The Shopkeeper may ask Warden if he would be interested in selling his cape, despite Warden's current model not having one.[6] The Newscaster voice line for Warden's Winter skin challenge also makes a reference to his upcoming redesign, asking "What will he look like next?"[7]
