'''The Drifter's Ghost''' is the nameless Ghost partnered to [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]]. Though it typically keeps itself hidden, it is distinguishable by its red eye and inability to speak, both of which are the result of extensive modifications that granted it access to a broader spectrum of [[Light]] and the ability to manipulate [[Darkness]]. | |||

The Ghost raised the man who would eventually be known as the Drifter during the [[Dark Age]], and immediately found him intractable. When it advised him to head towards a nearby settlement where they would find allies, the Drifter began running in the opposite direction and was promptly run over by a vehicle piloted by a [[Risen]] raider.

When it advised him to head towards a nearby settlement where they would find allies, the Drifter began running in the opposite direction and was promptly run over by a vehicle piloted by a [[Risen]] raider. The Ghost killed the Risen by ramming through his skull before reviving the Drifter, again advising him to join with its friends in the settlement. When the Drifter again went in the opposite direction, his Ghost had no choice but to follow.<ref name = "HOH"/> | ||
Refusing to give either himself or his Ghost a name, the Drifter continued to reject his Ghost's advice and assistance even if doing so harmed him. His Ghost respected his wishes in that regard, and would allow him to die if his stubbornness killed him, though it would always bring him back afterward. <ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Dogma]]''</ref> | |||
Eventually, the Drifter settled in a village called [[Eaton]], adopting the name Germaine and attempting to live as a normal person. "Germaine" would indirectly bring food to the hungry village by scouting for game with his Ghost and then secretly driving it in for his friend [[Judson]] to catch. However, on one scouting mission, the Ghost ''"got carried away"'' and was detected by a [[Warlord]], the [[Red Man]], leading him and his forces into an ambush by a contingent of [[Iron Lord]]s under [[Lord Dryden]]. The ensuing battle razed Eaton and left Drifter the village's sole survivor. His Ghost recorded the disaster from above. In the aftermath, at the Drifter's request, his Ghost found him a spade to bury the bodies with. The Ghost reprimanded him for ''"[playing] house with refugees"'' and wasting his potential, but was ignored.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Home, pt. IV]]''</ref> | |||
Nonetheless, the Drifter sought retribution against Dryden, whose misconduct and violation of several Iron Lord taboos had caused the disaster, by traveling to [[Felwinter Peak]] to gain an audience with [[Lord Felwinter]]. He eventually resorted to climbing the Peak to talk to him directly. His Ghost kept him from freezing to death, and provided its records of Eaton's destruction to Felwinter's own Ghost.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Loose Ends, pt.
