the guardian

“

They called him Crota's End. The Hivebane. Kingslayer. The Young Wolf. Hero of the Red War. The man who avenged Cayde-6. He had a hundred titles I cannot recall. And he died doing what he does best. Defending the Last City of humanity. Ages ago, he saved my life. And then inspired me to save myself. I am glad that he did. Because, Traveler help us, he is gone. And there is no one to save us now. On the day we met, I decided I would follow his example. I'm still trying...

„

“	All who find what we've left here-- please leave it be. Unless... unless you're still out there somewhere. You performed miracles before. In which case, take it. And come back to us. And we'll kill what killed you. Or die trying.	„
	~ Saint-14

Background

The Guardian is a protector of the Last City and a new-generation Iron Lord, who has participated in numerous legendary battles to retake humanity's past from various malevolent forces.

Despite their lack of memory, the Guardian, at the request of the Speaker, joined the fight against the foes of the City. In their exploits they met a mysterious stranger who put them on the path to stop the Vex, eventually resulting in an alliance with the Reef - something that would later prove invaluable to quelling the Wolf Rebellion. At the call of Eris Morn, they helped end the resurgence of Crota's forces and slew the God-Prince personally, attracting the wrath of his father but also putting an end to him as well. Later, during the SIVA Crisis, they helped Lord Saladin stop a techno-plague ravaging Earth from gaining sentience and were responsible for the deaths of various threats left over from the Taken War.

At the start of Destiny 2, the Guardian returned to the Last City only to immediately face its invasion by the Red Legion. After confronting Dominus Ghaul, however, the Guardian was severely crippled due to being stripped of the Light and forced to retreat in defeat. After much sacrifice and determination, the Guardians succeeded in liberating their home, driving the Red Legion away, and awaken the Traveler from its centuries of slumber, restoring their Light and destroying Ghaul forever. Despite this momentous victory, various figures of the Red Legion would attempt to carry on the Red War, either for their own purposes or to finish what Ghaul had started in destroying the Guardians. Despite these new foes, the Guardians maintained their strength and determination, while also contending with major threats besides the Red Legion.

Guardians perform the maintenance on their ships capable of spaceflight and transdimensional travel.
