The '''Warden''' 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. 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.

After the massive [[Scorn]] prison break and Variks's disappearance, the Warden began malfunctioning. Convinced that it ''was'' Variks, its erratic behavior drove what remained of the Prison of Elders into further chaos before it was destroyed by a Guardian fireteam.

==Trivia==
*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 Warden's likeness.
*Through dialogue between [[The Drifter]] and [[The Ghost]] seems to indicate that Variks and the Warden were in a symbiotic relationship. What it was is unknown.
*The Warden is so far the only character in the franchise that has gone from an ally to an enemy.
**The Warden is also the only ally that has fought [[The Guardian]] outside of the [[Crucible]] and [[Gambit]].

-'''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.

-==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.
