In Hindsight, These Story Choices Were a Mistake
Mr. Death:

Keeping Bob is like a cop deciding to help himself to the rocket launcher at a militia compound rather than entering it into evidence. Yeah, it's tempting, but actually doing so is a massive violation of their duty. Much moreso for a warden than a regular wizard.

Yeah, but wizards -- to a man -- are arrogant bastards who think they can handle anything they come across. I bet a large number of wizards would see Bob and think, "Kemmler used this to do terrible things... but it would be such a waste to destroy it, and I know for certain that I can resist the temptation to use it for evil."
peregrine:
Yes. But a warden who hasn't gone crooked would (I'm making some assumptions about the rules for wardens here) also say "But I've sworn to turn over such dangerous objects to the Council to be either locked away or destroyed. So I will, because I'm all about upholding the Laws."

I dunno... Jim made a good example about wizards and the oblivion war, and how you don't want them anywhere near it because they love to record information. Would someone like Morgan destroy Bob? yeah probably but so many more would wonder the information he had, and want to really figure out what they could learn. It's a strong part of their nature. It's probably a reason why they are able to do magic, their desire for knowledge.
peregrine:
Yes. Morgan probably would. Because he's a warden. I'm not arguing all the wizards would. Probably a lot of them wouldn't.
But a warden, tasked with doing things like shutting down what Kemmler wants to do, enforcing the laws (and will of the Council) probably would.

I don't think all or most warden's have Morgan's devoutness. If Morgan held the same sort of belief in God as he seemed to hold for the Laws, and the White Council I think he probably would be one of the wizard Saint's Jim talked about.
I think what we should first ask is what is required to become a warden in the first place? Times were kind of desperate but even someone as young as Carlos became a warden, and he was really young. Their system of getting wardens can't be too incredibly stringent. Full fledged wizard, void of black magic stain, makes an oath to the Council or something and they probably get in.
