---|---|
Walker, from Danny Phantom, is an example of a corrupt, malicious Warden | |
Synonyms | superintendent, governor, director |
Applies to | headmates, system functions |
Origin | Middle English |
A warden is a special kind of protector that keeps the system safe from malicitors, trechtors, and persecutors by keeping them 'jailed' within a section of headspace or otherwise dormant/incapacitated.
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.
Not all wardens are benign; some are corrupt or active persecutors themselves who jail other headmates in a misguided attempt at keeping 'order' in the system.
