I'm advising you now, don't get your hopes up in any context beyond 'sentimental value,' unless you're interested in shades of grey.
[Just being realistic about his bland boxy home. Warden stuff, though, that's much more interesting for... nerd reasons?]
Technically, it's the Warden. The Sixth keeps the Library, including the pre-Resurrection archives, but most of that is lyctoral texts that are preserved such that they will outlast the heat death of the universe and all of us in it, so— don't ask me what they all say. I've only seen a handful of scraps from the immediately post- era, myself.
[Including but not limited to some fucked up shit, a love letter, and something mentioning an "EJG" that he has at least one meaningful theory about and none of the drive to go and ask.
Anyway.]
Scholar is our more common title, which you could consider named for the specialist; making Scholar is essentially— leaving school, if you aren't Cohort-bound. It's a broader, general title. Archivists are, obviously, what they sound like. Minutiae aside, we're fairly literal about the meanings: Warden is akin to a supervisor of sorts, not unintentionally named in order to associate with the sense of the prison.
[You know, normal Empire things!]
So in short: yes, like being the keeper, of the lore and everything else. Becoming Master Warden is an arduous process with a veritable mountain of exams practical and otherwise, but I had things I had to get done that only the authority of Warden affords. [A beat; he sips his water.] I'm in charge, more or less. Or I was, before I was here.
