==Appearance and Personality==
Warwick wears the standard in-game craftable [[chain mail]] armour and outfit, which includes a gray chain mail jacket with pauldrons, light grey britches and a brown leather belt with a gold buckle. The hem of the chain mail jacket is lined with a dark orange, and his gloves are the same colour. His gloves are plated with metal on the dorsal sides of the hands. His boots are brown with beige cuffs, which also have metal caps and metal heels. He has hazel eyes and possesses short blue hair in the [[Character customization in Dragon Quest Builders 2|hairstyle]] 'mussed mop'. In his character art, he is depicted with an [[iron broadsword]], but initially appears with a [[copper sword]]. He talks formally, but occasionally inserts exclamations like 'Jolly good!' or 'By Jove!' like other Moonbrooke townsfolk.

He has an intense fear and hatred of death, shown to act distraught when some of his allies die and screams his questions to the goddess over their graves; he himself is terrified of his own death and the sight of the deceased reminds him he is also mortal. He claims to seek to end the 'accursed war' between monsters and humans on Moonbrooke. The war continues to rage on as all participants are followers of the [[Children of Hargon]], who encourage the endless destruction brought by the endless war. Warwick openly opposes these beliefs when working with the Builder. He also seems to be close with Anessa, both being the King's advisors and training with her to become soldiers.

{{spoiler|start}}  While his dialogue nearing his death alludes to him having a firm belief in the Children of Hargon, Anessa says on the [[Isle of Awakening]] that he would have loved the Builder's creations. It is unclear whether it was that Warwick had successfully deceived everyone into believing he loved building or if Warwick had been also lying about his 'true' faith. {{spoiler|end}}

At several different points throughout the Moonbrooke storyline, after the Builder goes to sleep, the player is shown text cutscenes about someone giving details away to a monster. The spy featured is heavily implied to be Warwick, based on several personality details like their fear of death. The monster is likely his master, a [[wrecktor]].

Eventually, the suspicions of a spy cause tensions to mount in the castle. Warwick tells the Builder that His Majesty had a request for a new dungeon, and that they may soon need to use it. After the dungeon is built, he tells them that there have been 'developments' in deciding the first occupant of the newly built [[List of room recipes in Dragon Quest Builders 2|cell]], apologises, and shortly afterwards Malroth is imprisoned. He then says that it was Anessa's proposal - that she was attempting to sever relationships to leave them weak for the monsters. Warwick privately tells the Builder that they will be able to free Malroth when they have relieved tensions. While he says that he wants to tell His Majesty the truth (of how Malroth is not a danger and has no need to be imprisoned), he excuses himself by calling it pointless. He says that 'Anessa is the King's most trusted adviser. There is no way he would believe me over her.' In reality, it was never Anessa's idea; did not know as to why they were in the dungeon at the time and later mentions that she was curious about Malroth's imprisonment, because she had never directly asked the King to take any action. [[Zara]] expresses her confusion as well, as Anessa would surely recognise Malroth's exceptional battle prowess as indisposable. Warwick's excuse as to why he did not speak up was a cover for himself because ''he'', in fact had suggested Malroth's imprisonment.

Soon after, [[Atlas]] appears, and he leaves his army of monsters to fight the Moonbrooke Brigade. After battle, the King - having declared it was time to end the war - eventually has the Builder (accompanied by Warwick and Anessa) search for the three [[Orb|Orbs]] to power the [[Kazapple cannon]], a weapon that will surely defeat Atlas. When it is time to search for the Orb of Heores, he has all the knights in the castle in charge of marching to Rendarak, which he describes as a place akin to Hell. Anessa voices her concern about having the castle abandoned by all its soldiers, but Warwick counters her quickly, asking sarcastically if she wanted this war to end or not. The soldiers eventually arrive at a beautiful valley, to the army's confusion. They eventually progress to the end of the valley where they find what used to be [[Midenhall]] castle and enter it. They encounter only strange illusions of people and an empty throne room. Upon entering the throne room they are ambushed by monsters. Before the fighting begins, it is evident that something is wrong with Warwick, as he does not draw his sword when the monsters appear. When the traitor is prompted by the leader of the monsters - the wrecktor - to take their place by its side, he walks over to the head of the monster group. This catches everybody off guard, and he says he has fulfilled his side of the deal while taunting the rest of the Moonbrooke Brigade. He says that his mission was 'To fracture friendships, weaken the military, and ensure the construction of the Kazapple cannon—that it might eventually fall into the monsters' hands'. The wrecktor is satisfied with this reveal and transforms Warwick into a [[silvapithecus]]. Warwick is then slain by the human army along with the rest of the monsters.

Before he dies, Anessa runs to his side and desperately tries to talk to him. He calls the world a lie, and that everyone would die no matter who won the war. When she pursues this topic, he says that one day, he realised that the world was an illusion, and he tried to speak with the King but he refused to listen. The Wrector found him afterwards and took advantage of his fear of death, promising him eternal life in monsterhood if he could earn it, which was why he betrayed Moonbrooke in the first place. He accepted the idea of being transformed into a monster and betraying his kingdom in exchange for being allowed to live.
