* ChildHater: The sight of one pure child makes makes him so angry that...that it results in him giving birth to a little, angry demon that represents his inner child. Given how much he hates his own childhood thanks to his abusive father, it's no wonder he gets angry, bitter, jealous and resentful towards the little cancer patient.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: That being said... there have been moments where [[LaserGuidedKarma karma hits him hard]].
** The entirety of "Best Friends Forever" is one long massive HumiliationConga for the Warden, his peers actively manipulate him (yes including [[ExtremeDoormat Jared]]) to do jobs that all end up with the Warden being heavily mutilated.
** In "Ghosts", when The Warden callously "pardons" all of the ghosts of the dead inmates in the afterlife, they immediately see right through his lies and all of them proceed to [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge beat the crap out of him in revenge]].
** "Supefail" has Jared finally attacking the Warden after repeatedly taunting him by calling him a failure. Needless to say, the chain reaction of violence culminates to The Warden being crushed alive by one of his massive eye-towers.
** In "Uh Oh, It's Magic", he ends up in a similar position to Jared, where he is constantly humiliated and injured by his superiors, however unlike Jared, [[HumiliationConga The Warden has it much, much worse]].
** His constant flirtings towards Alice finally takes it's toll in "Special Needs", where the Warden in an attempt to yet again flirt with her, ends up with him being severely injured (such as having all of his bones ripped out of his body) and ends up in a bodycast.
** In "Jean & Paul & Beefy & Alice", The Warden becomes increasingly more frustrated when it turns out that Jared is actually better at golf than him. [[TheDogBitesBack Jared milks it for all it's worth, most notably when he decides to crush the Warden's hand and then whacks him in the crotch with a golf club upon finding out that he's cheating]].

** In "Uh Oh, It's Magic", he has a massive FriendshipMoment with Jared at the end, where they forgive each other for their behaviors and even team up to stop a riot.



* TookALevelInKindness: ''Relatively'' speaking of course. Starting on season two, The Warden has becomre far less antagonistic than before, often being depicted as a [[TheDitz Ditzy]] ManChild rather than his almost insane and sadistic personality shown prior.

The founder of the titular prison. In short, the Warden is an eccentric, twisted [[TheWonka Willy Wonka expy]] that has a flair for the dramatic. Although very childish upon first glance, the Warden actually seems to be quite brilliant, considering he built the prison almost singlehandedly, along with all of the wild, wacky, overly complicated contraptions inside.
