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 Guardians 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, unofficially led by the Drifter.
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 event, which included a mask bearing Warden's likeness.
- Though dialogue between The Drifter and The Ghost seems to indicate that Variks and the Warden were in a symbiotic relationship, what it was remains 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.
