“
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 Patrons from ever entering our world, no matter the cost.

Backstory
editSee Warden/Lore for more story content.
“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.

Trivia
edit- Warden was named Murphy in Neon Prime. This name was reused for the new character of Captain Murphy in Holliday's visual novel.
- He may have been named after the protagonist of the 1987 movie Robocop, as Murphy was a robot peacekeeper in Neon Prime's sci-fi setting.
- 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.[2] The Shopkeeper may ask Warden if he would be interested in selling his cape, despite Warden's current model not having one.[3] 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?"[4]
- Warden's backstory shares themes with Arc Warden from Dota 2, who similarly wants to stop the conflict between the Ancients at any cost.
- "Training in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Warden in the Hideout.
- Warden appears in a graffiti in the Counter-Strike 2 community map "Warden".[5]
