"Humanity needs to be protected from itself."

Warden is a hard-headed man who charges into battle with a flagrant disregard for the wellbeing of his enemies. Acting as a hard-hitting, fast-moving, and disruptive carry, his abilities keep his enemies where he wants them so he can make shooting as easy as can be. His alchemical flask is a damaging area slow that steals away stamina on a low cooldown, which is perfect for keeping them trapped in his otherwise avoidable binding word. Willpower lets him run at extreme speed while tanking spirit damage, and his last stand lets him suck up the health from any enemies that happen to be in front of him. Much like the bureaucracies of the legal system, Warden takes a long time to get going, but ends up serving justice in the end.

Bio

Warden

Weakens his enemies and chases them down

Warden leads from the front, jumping into the fray and hindering his opponent's ability to fight effectively. But what Warden considers brave, others consider reckless, and if he's not careful he can easily find himself in over his head.

Background

A Fate's Tale

Most people think the supernatural came into the world 50 years ago. They're wrong. Its presence shaped folklore for generations... and as long as there have been people afraid of shadows, there have been those who dedicated their lives to fighting in them.

Coming from a lineage of militant alchemists, Warden's family always trained for the day they would have to stave off a mystic apocalypse... but as time passed the importance of the lessons seemed less and less important. What once was viewed as a sincere warning slowly morphed into being perceived as amusing anecdotes told by their superstitious grandparents.

When the portal opened in Central Park, Warden's parents realized not only was everything they were told was true, they were unprepared. Refusing to let the next generation fall asleep on the job, Warden was trained since birth to be a supernatural killing machine with one purpose; stopping the Patrons from ever entering our world.

Trivia

Despite his current appearance, Warden isn't actually a member of law enforcement; he acts more as a vigilante.
- Warden has been announced to be receiving a redesign in the near future.
