“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]
How Warden intends to stop the Patrons is currently unknown. Warden expresses that he "only gets one shot at this"[4], and is willing to die if it means completing his mission.[5]
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.[6]
Ivy and 
Vindicta.[8][9]
Grey Talon and apologizes for killing him.[10][11]
Abrams is freaked out by Warden's cape (in his upcoming redesign).[12]
Dynamo and 
Lady Geist tell Warden that he looks "dour". Lady Geist also describes him as "perpetually miserable".[3]
Holliday says that Warden looks like he's wearing a Halloween costume and calls him a "creepy homeschooled kid".[3]
Lash refers to Warden as "creepy" and "vomitus".[13]
Calico, 
Pocket and 
Mirage call Warden out for his blind devotion to his parents' mission.[14][15][16]
Viscous and 
Vyper think Warden "needs to smile more".[17][18] 
Amber Hand's in-game voice line - "Warden, you are inscrutable."
Amber Hand's in-game voice line - "Warden, how long do you think you can hide your heart from me?"
