Warden later serves as Kaleel's personal lieutenant, arranging for the recapture of Col. [[Wilma Deering]] following her escape from [[Julio]]'s custody, as she came to know [[Terran]]s well during her time on Earth.
 
Following the Defense Directorate's unfathomable success at the [[Battle of Vistula]], she escorts Kaleel to his private cruiser, but is intercepted by dissidents lead by the Vistulan nomad [[Ryma]], as well as Rogers. It is likely that Warden remains in the custody of either the [[Earth Federation]] or the Vistulan nomads whom she previously exploited {{BR25|Planet of the Slave Girls}}.

Leila[1] is a Vistulan born into a life of slavery under Kaleel, and brainwashed into believing that her lot in life is due to the Terrans.

In 2491 CE, during a rousing speech by Kaleel warning of the dangers of unbelievers amongst them, she outs her husband in front of the congregation. Kaleel exploits the opportunity not only to prove his point, but to demonstrate his power of the "Kiss of God," leaving her a widow and blind to how she has been manipulated by Kaleel (BR25: "Planet of the Slave Girls").
