A '''warden''' is a special kind of [[protector]] that keeps the [[system]] safe from [[malicitor]]s, [[trechtor]]s, and [[persecutor]]s by keeping them '[[Pear Wiggler|jailed]]' within a section of [[headspace]] or otherwise [[dormancy|dormant/incapacitated]].  
An '''imprisoner''' is a sub-type of [[persecutor]] that may believe themselves to be a [[protector]]. Rather than acting as a barrier between persecutor and other [[headmate]]s, they may instead choose to isolate and imprison those they deem dangerous to the [[system]], potentially with the intent of punishing them or in an attempt to keep order within the system. Imprisoners may even go so far as to force other headmates into [[dormancy]] or keep them otherwise incapacitated.<ref>https://fallenheartsgalaxy.tumblr.com/post/659630661738594304/new-term-imprisoner</ref> 


The term derives from the name of the chief officer in charge of a prison in the United States, and can be called a ''superintendent'', ''governor'', or ''director'' in other parts of the world.
Imprisoner as a plural term was coined due to confusion on whether or not [[warden]]s can also be [[persecutor]]s. As such, the [[protector]] counterpart of imprisoners are called wardens.


Not all wardens are benign; some are corrupt or active persecutors themselves who jail other [[headmate]]s in a misguided attempt at keeping 'order' in the system.

An imprisoner is a sub-type of persecutor that may believe themselves to be a protector. Rather than acting as a barrier between persecutor and other headmates, they may instead choose to isolate and imprison those they deem dangerous to the system, potentially with the intent of punishing them or in an attempt to keep order within the system. Imprisoners may even go so far as to force other headmates into dormancy or keep them otherwise incapacitated.[1]

Imprisoner as a plural term was coined due to confusion on whether or not wardens can also be persecutors. As such, the protector counterpart of imprisoners are called wardens.
