Maze tattoo

The Maze Tattoo was first seen in Ball and Chain on the dead body of Phil Reiser.
At that time the tattoo artist claimed to have designed it only recently. Yet according to Jordan McKee, in the "Escape to Haven" (#EscapeToHaven) webseries, that the Tattoo was originally used during medieval times as a way of branding the Troubled and ensuring easy identification of the supernatural. Later the The Guard would adopt the former mark of shame as their logo. However Dwight Hendrickson later claims, in the same webseries no less, that the Guard lies, so McKee's version of the Tattoo's origin is open to doubt.
The tattoo is later mentioned by Vanessa Stanley. She not only foresaw Duke Crocker's death at the hands of a man with this tattoo on his arm, but had had the same vision regarding the death of The Colorado Kid in 1983.
Duke begins his search of the meaning behind the tattoo, learning from Julia Carr that many people in Haven have this tattoo. This is seen in the graveyard that has many tombstones with the symbol branded on it. It has been theorized by Duke that the people who wear the tattoo are Troubled. Not only that, but are forming an organization. They call themselves, "The Guard".
According to Jordan McKee, The Guard, protects people who are Troubled any way that they can, by bringing them to Haven and giving them a new life and by killing people who want to hurt them. The symbol also appears later on Unstake My Heart for Jennifer Mason as a guide to finding the door in Shot in the Dark. They later find out that Vince's tattoo is passed down in his family and can fade in and out unlike other ones. It also leads them to the location of the door.
