The '''Drifter's Ghost''' is the nameless Ghost partnered to the [[Drifter]]. Though it typically keeps itself hidden, it is distinguishable by its red eye, inability to speak and a shell reinforced by the innards of five dead ghosts. This appearance is the result of extensive modifications it underwent during the [[Red War]] that granted it access into spectrums of [[Light]] beyond any other Guardians know of, and even into spectrums beyond the Light and into the [[Darkness]], which lead to the creation of [[Mote of Dark|Motes of Dark]], [[Gambit]] and [[The Derelict]].<ref | The '''Drifter's Ghost''' is the nameless Ghost partnered to the [[Drifter]].

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. The Ghost rammed through the Risen's skull, killing him, before reviving the Drifter and 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" | The Ghost raised the man who would eventually be known as the Drifter during the [[Dark Age]], and immediately found him intractable.

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.

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]]: [[ | Eventually, the Drifter settled in a village called [[Eaton]], adopting the name Germaine and attempting to live as a normal person.

Later, the Ghost kept the Drifter from freezing to death when he climbed [[Felwinter Peak]] to personally condemn Dryden (the battle's only survivor, and whose misconduct and violation of several Iron Lord taboos were directly responsible for the disaster) before [[Lord Felwinter]]. It provided its records of Eaton's destruction to Felwinter's own Ghost.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | Later, the Ghost kept the Drifter from freezing to death when he climbed [[Felwinter Peak]] to personally condemn Dryden (the battle's only survivor, and whose misconduct and violation of several Iron Lord taboos were directly responsible for the disaster) before [[Lord Felwinter]].
