Disclaimer: this is assumption based theory using only observations of his appearance and behavior in the pilot.

Ok so I think Warrick is a former hero maybe one of the first to survive a game winning scenario.  
Now he maybe is a hero who wants to bring back the world he lost but also he appears to be very  patched up now he could totally just be a Frankenstein monster like character from his game. But what if he is actually a reconstituted character like he’s proof you can remake things using float but he’s also proof you’re not going to be the same.

Add on how the Syntax function , their main goal is to revive their worlds and for each villain this can mean different things. Snappers seemed to actually like his stuff but had too much ego to join Syntax and was only slain for attacking. But I wouldn’t be surprised if other villains had things they cared about in gaming very few villains want their world destroyed in any way a kingdom or specific person/group but they usually WANT the world to survive.

It also makes sense to try and recruit villains over heroes for this cause because if the world just resets to before game over the villain usually gets exactly what they want and all they need to do is not let the hero win again. But heroes knowing beating the villain ends the world may be against it because if it’s not set AFTER the villain’s defeat then there’s no point for the hero as either the villain’s defeated again and repeat or the hero never beats the villain and the villain was beaten for a reason.

Plus it seems to be while the facade sends squads across the Gameoverse to do missions and recon they are scattered. The Syntax seem to be operating in a group and likely only push for a harvesting when the mothership is there.

Warrick also has an interesting trait for an overlord like character as him, he seems upset to hurt his all minions and kind of gentle with Crabgirl. Now he’s not like “oh I’m so sorry!” But he yells to clean up a mess but it seemed more like a general order for SOMEONE to do it. He’s not mad at crab girl when she’s sick and he made Fold apologize to her…given his look that feels odd for a villain. But also when he accidently hit ANOTHER drone he screams STOP! That tells me he’s upset this keeps happening but if he was a hero prior he likely isn’t the most fond of destroying his allies especially by accident.

He is not the nicest guy and most likely been doing this long enough he’s more a villain than a hero now. But he is a surprisingly calm character with crab girl and snappers, and unless he’s nicer to newer recruits or characters from more kid friendly games like Flappers it may take some time before he’s upset with someone like Fold.

Now I could be Very wrong but I think it’d be interesting if Warwick is proof of his goal but also proof it’s not the best idea .

What do you think?

Theory: Warrick is the reason the syntax exist and proof there is merit to their idea (theory in body-spoilers of pilot)
