'''Warlocks''' are "warrior-scholars,"<ref name = "Customization">[http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/21/5533684/bungies-destiny-extensive-character-customization '''Polygon''': ''Bungie outlines ambitions for Destiny's extensive character customization'']</ref> and a class of [[Guardian]]. Warlocks utilize [[Light|powers]] granted by the [[Traveler]] for both attack and defense. Warlocks specialize in ranged melee attacks and casting elemental spells to take out enemies.

Warlocks were the first to tap the power of the Traveler, wielding its light as they ventured beyond the safety of the Wall. They know each discovery offers new possibilities,<ref>[http://destiny.bungie.org/forum/index.php?id=13568 '''Destiny.bungie.org''', ''Transcript of the official English version of the cards'']</ref> and they have devoted themselves to understanding the Traveler, its power, and how to better channel that power. A Warlock mind is an arsenal of deadly secrets, balanced between godhood and madness. On the battlefield, those secrets can shatter reality itself.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Class: Warlock|Warlock]]''</ref> They search the frontier to find a means to defeat the [[Darkness]] once and for all.<ref name="Planetview">[https://www.destinyplanetview.com/en/home '''Destiny Planet View''']</ref>

Warlocks are known for pushing the boundaries of knowledge, even into dangerous territory. At least two warlocks, [[Toland, the Shattered]] and [[Osiris]], were exiled for studying the [[Hive]] and [[Vex]] too closely. There also exists an order of warlocks called the [[Thanatonaut]]s, who take advantage of [[Guardian]]s ability to resurrect themselves to receive visions every time they die.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Ghost_Fragment:_Exo_2|Ghost Fragment: Exo 2]]''</ref>

==Class Description==

All Guardians have certain abilities, some of which are granted by the [[Traveler]], others which may appear more mundane in nature. All Guardians have a double jump ability and a "grenade-type" ability whose effects vary by class.<ref>[http://www.destructoid.com/destiny-s-combat-is-solid-but-i-m-not-so-sure-about-the-rest-of-it-273692.phtml?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter '''Destructoid''': ''Destiny's Combat is Solid, But I'm Not So Sure About the Rest of it]</ref><ref name="Warlock Controls">[http://destinyplayers.com/destiny-warlock-ps4-game-controls/ '''Destiny Players''': ''Warlock controls'']</ref> All these abilities with the exception of the double jump can be upgraded over time and can be used in competitive PvP.<ref name="MMORPG.com Interview with Eric Osborne">[http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/927/feature/7618/Delving-Into-Bungies-Vision.html '''MMORPG''': ''Delving Into Bungie's Vision'']</ref><ref>[http://www.bungie.net/7_The-Mail-Sack-of-Your-Dreams/en-us/News/News?aid=10937 '''Bungie.net''': ''The Mail Sack of Your Dreams'']</ref>
