Previous Warden theory

That depends on perspective, and how much abstract "I wish you had done X" sort of grudge Alfred is even capable of. "Focusing the Tank" is a term for a tactical mistake, sure, but in the DV context it could mean that Rashid did something (ill-advised) to gain DR's specific attention/Ire during whatever mission against DR, as opposed to DR being on Rashid's team somehow and holding a long-term grudge because it disagrees with Rashid's tactical Choice. Which seems like waaay too abstract and specific a thought for him to have regarding mortals or his view on the Past and Future. He was barely able to recognize one mortal vs another or grasp time in shrter than geological scales; it seems a lot more...human for him to have that sort of What-If grudge. It just feels out of place for be Demonreach to be saying "way back that time, I reaaally wish you'd gone Left instead of Right, if you had gone Left our Party wouldn't have wiped. FOR SHAME!"
Rasins:
I could totally believe that Rashid kept DR busy while the rest of the Wouncil took down Kemmler.
Another possibility is that Rashid prevented Kemmler from releasing some inmate, being the Warden, DR took umbrage at his interfering with the WARDEN's work. How exactly that fits in with "focus the tank" I don't know, but then, this is the only place I've heard the phrase (from Jim).

So that's a no as Harry's mom being Warden I guess?

Nah, Id day it's just solidified into a Maybe. There was always that one line in TC that seemed to Juxtapose the two, making it reasonable (if not my own preferred theory) that she was at some point tapped to be the Warden somewhere, Id assume prior to her going on the run form the wardens, but I could be wrong. For all we know, the person she killed with magic to piss off the Wardens was the previous Warden and she managed to (briefly) Take that role on her own initiative much like Harry did.
To my mind the biggest point against basically all these theories is the strong implication in TC that Ancient Mai has NOT been read in to the full story and significance of Demonreach. Being the "Ancient" of the Council, somebody even Rashid bows to, I dont think it likely that she'd have been so uninvolved as to entirely miss out on that sort of event.

Kemmler was a huge evil threat, said to have many truly dark allies. Some of which would be the type to be confined in the well. So it makes sense for the warden to be involved in the conflict.
