It is, I'm virtually certain (I have read the section repeatedly).
But now I cannot find it. :o :-[

However it is stupid on the part of the Senior Council to think that to be Warden of the island would be Villain in Chief.. The post has dangers because it carries with it great power as well as responsibility, both can corrupt the person holding it, but that doesn't make them a villain, and to let the post remain vacant for all those years seems rather stupid.

Think about this defense in international geopolitics: Nations of the world trust me l, im only making these nuclear weapons for self defense. Trust me. Even friendly Nations think u are full of shit.
I think becoming the Warden is like this. Even your friends will be looking at you sideways. After all that's too much power in one hand. Even if you trust the guy. On a side note one of my theories is that talking to the inmates is dangerous and can corrupt you. So maybe a previous Warden ( Kemmler) was corrupted bh the place and everyone is now scared of risking another kemmler. After all if one guy can be corrupted why not the next

I don't there is a WOJ about the island corrupting its Warden. I think what applies here is the warning Rashid gave Harry in TurnCoat. That also is the basis of the Council thinking Harry blundered his way into becoming Warden.

Blundering into it doesn't make one automatically bad at whatever the job is, or a bad person. I do agree talking to the inmates is dangerous, also the temptation of trying to harness the power in that apparently very powerful ley line. However in the light of all of that, why didn't the Senior Council make sure there was a Warden in charge of the place they could trust? After all they have a designated assassin don't they? Someone authorized to use black magic for cripe sake! :o
