'''The Mad Warden''' or the '''Warden''' or '''Warden Servitor''' is a heavily modified [[Fallen]] [[Servitor]] that was used by [[Variks, the Loyal]] to monitor the [[Prison of Elders]] in [[Destiny]]. Its core machinery has been removed, leaving a hollow shell affixed with multiple devices and parts of unknown purpose. With its core gone, the Warden appears to lack the sentience of a standard Servitor, instead having been replaced with an AI copy of Variks. This AI runs the gauntlet that [[Guardian]]s can participate, informing them of the prisoners they are about to battle and directing them to the proper chamber of the prison.

With its core gone, the Warden appears to lack the sentience of a standard Servitor. Variks speaks to [[Guardian]]s through the Warden, informing them of the prisoners they are about to battle and directing them to the proper chamber of the prison. It later becomes hijacked and appears as the main boss of the [[Warden of Nothing]] [[Strike]].


After the massive [[Scorn]] prison break and Variks's disappearance, the Warden began to malfunction. With its programming stuck on the [[Challenge of the Elders]], its erratic behavior drove what remained of the Prison into further chaos before it was destroyed by a Guardian fireteam, supported by the Drifter whom owed a favor to [[The Spider]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', ''[[Strike]]: [[Warden of Nothing]]''</ref>
In the [[Destiny 2|Destiny 2's]] [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]] expansion, Variks disappears from the Prison of Elders following the prison break, and the Warden's AI had begun to malfunction due to codependency from it's master, and it's up to a Fireteam of Guardians to take it down.
 
==Gameplay==
The Mad Warden enters the arena after defeating the enemies that were fighting each other in it. Contrarily to other Servitors, its ranged attack is a continuous [[Solar]] beam, dealing high damage. Every quarter or so of its health, it will teleport to one side of the arena, calling in [[Cabal]] and [[Vex]] to fight, and releasing a highly damaging Solar wave for a few seconds, that can only be avoided by taking cover in the shadow of pillars or rubble. In its last quarter of health, it will summon [[Zhagal, Disgraced Colossus]] and [[Edyx, Exothermic Mind]] alongside their respective races to aid him in the fight, and begin moving around while using its flare. All that said, the Mad Warden doesn't have health gates, and can be easily killed before he can do anything through concentrated fire on any difficulty lower than Legend.

*The Servitor core found in the [[Vestian Outpost]] may be the same one that was extracted from the Warden.

*Although the Warden first appeared in the ''House of Wolves'' expansion, it did not have an official name until ''[[The Taken King]]'s'' [[Festival of the Lost]] [[Events|event]], which included a mask bearing the Warden's likeness.

*Though dialogue between [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]] and [[The Ghost]] seems to indicate that Variks and the Warden were in a symbiotic relationship, the precise nature of the link remains unknown.
*Aside from the [[Techeun]]s and the [[Remnant Iron Lord]]s, The Warden is so far the only character in the franchise that has gone from an ally to an enemy.
*In ''[[Season of the Worthy]]'', there was an issue where, for the purposes of [[Strike]] [[bounties]], the Warden was not counted as a Fallen boss in [[Warden of Nothing]].
**Instead, it seemed to count as a Vex boss.
