His unwavering dedication and honed combat skills make him a stalwart defender against the otherworldly menaces that seek to breach our reality. Join us as we explore the intricacies of Warden's remarkable abilities and his relentless commitment to protecting our world from malevolent forces.
Background
Most people think the supernatural came into the world 50 years ago. They're wrong. Its presence has shaped folklore for generations, and as long as people have been afraid of the 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, but they were also 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.
