| '''The Mad Warden''' is a heavily modified [[Fallen]] [[Servitor]] that was used by [[Variks, the Loyal]] to monitor the [[Prison of Elders]] until the [[Hunt for the Scorn|release]] of the [[Scorn]] and his disappearance. The Servitor would continue to function as Warden of the Prison even as it fell into disarray. | | 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, 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. |
|

|
| ==Overview==
| | After the massive [[Scorn]] prison break and Variks's disappearance, the Warden began malfunctioning. 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]]. |

| After becoming convinced to fulfil the Prophecy of the Kell of Kells by Fikrul and Uldren questioning him on where his loyalties lay, Variks planned an emergency shutdown of the Prison of Elders security system, releasing everyone in the process, to cover his tracks and left his last [[High Servitor]] in his place.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Most Loyal|Most Loyal]], [[Lore:Most Loyal#Where Loyalties Lie|Where Loyalties Lie]]''</ref> However, afterwards, the Servitor began to malfunction. With its programming stuck on the [[Challenge of the Elders]] combat subroutine and thinking that IT was Variks, its erratic behavior drove what remained of the Prison into further chaos before it was destroyed by a Guardian fireteam, supported by the Drifter who owed a favor to [[The Spider]].<ref name="WON">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Warden of Nothing]]''</ref>
| | ==Trivia== |
| | | *The Servitor core found in the [[Vestian Outpost]] may be the same one that was extracted from the Warden. |
| Years later, the Mad Warden was found to be still operational within the Prison of Elders during the [[Revenant Uprising]] when the Guardian was hunting for [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]]. The Warden would interfere in the Guardian's search for Eliksni prisoners Fikrul contained within the Prison by pulling [[Shadow Legion]], [[Lucent Brood|Lucent Hive]], [[Taken]] prisoners from cold storage alongside the [[Revenant Scorn]] and [[The Dread|Dread]] brought in by Fikrul. The Servitor seemed to have been so corrupted that not even Variks could stop it as it locked him out when he tried to initiate shutdown, believing him to be a doppelganger.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/10/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Revenant]] - [[Tomb of Elders]]''</ref>
| | *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. |
| | | *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. |
| ==Gameplay==
| | *Aside from the [[Techeun]]s, The Warden is so far the only character in the franchise that has gone from an ally to an enemy. |
| The Mad Warden will enter the arena after defeating the enemies that were fighting each other in it. Unlike 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 Warden is also the only ally that has fought [[The Guardian]] outside of the [[Crucible]] and [[Gambit]]. |
| | *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. |
