'''Warlocks''' are a class of [[Guardian]] who are best described as "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>. They utilize their [[Traveler]]-given [[Light|powers]] for both attack and defense. Warlocks specialize in ranged melee attacks and cast elemental spells to eliminate their enemies. They are also adept at offering support to fellow Guardians and fireteam members, by healing them and enhancing the strength of their weapons, and are just as comfortable fighting from mid-air as on the ground.

==Overview==
{{quote|Warlocks may be thinkers, but most I know can hold their own.|[[Lord Shaxx]]}}
Warlocks were the first to tap into the power of the Traveler, wielding its Light as they ventured beyond the safety of the Wall. They know that 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 it. A Warlock's mind is an arsenal of deadly secrets, balanced between genius and madness. On the battlefield, those secrets can seem to 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==
{{quote|Warlocks have long studied the Traveler, mastering some of its arcane energies. Its true purpose remains a great mystery, but discovering truth has always driven you into the unknown. Now, our enemies are the only thing that stands between you and the lost wonders of our Golden Age.|Class description}}

==Abilities==
All Guardians have certain abilities, many of which are granted by the [[Traveler]], others which may appear more mundane in nature. All Guardians also have a "double jump" ability, as well as a "grenade-like" ability whose effects vary by class and subclass.<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 were able to be upgraded over time in the past, 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>

==Trivia==
*The visual design for Warlocks was drawn from a range of sources, including wizards and World War I soldiers.<ref name = "Customization"/>

*The behavior of Destiny's Warlocks are similar to those of Warlocks from the ''Dungeons and Dragons'' roleplaying game.

*During the E3 2013 Destiny reveal the spokesmen for Bungie's design team said that the Warlock's powers was based around ''[https://www.wikiwand.com/en/The_Matrix_(franchise) The Matrix]'''s protagonist Neo's abilities.

*Additional Warlock abilities were hinted at, both in concept art (such as shields and flame generation), and in interviews (such as team rez and buff abilities).<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/09/bungie-co-founder-destiny-creator-on-halos-greatest-tragedy '''IGN''', ''Bungie co-founder Destiny creator on Halo's greatest tragedy'']</ref>
