'''Warlocks''' are "warrior-scholars,"<ref name = "Customization">[http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/21/5533684/bungies-destiny-extensive-character-customization '''Polygon''': ''Bungie outlines ambitions for Destiny's extensive character customization'']</ref> and a class of [[Guardian]]. Warlocks utilize [[Light|powers]] granted by the [[Traveler]] for both attack and defense. Warlocks specialize in ranged melee attacks and casting elemental spells to take out enemies.

Warlocks were the first to tap the power of the Traveler, wielding its light as they ventured beyond the safety of the Wall. They know each discovery offers new possibilities,<ref>[http://destiny.bungie.org/forum/index.php?id=13568 '''Destiny.bungie.org''', ''Transcript of the official English version of the cards'']</ref> and they have devoted themselves to understanding the Traveler, its power, and how to better channel that power. A Warlock mind is an arsenal of deadly secrets, balanced between godhood and madness. On the battlefield, those secrets can shatter reality itself.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Class: Warlock|Warlock]]''</ref> They search the frontier to find a means to defeat the [[Darkness]] once and for all.<ref name="Planetview">[https://www.destinyplanetview.com/en/home '''Destiny Planet View''']</ref>
