When a Ghost revives their Chosen, they are bonded together from that point forward. A "neural symbiosis" begins between them. Every Ghost has one specific person they are meant to revive.

Some Ghosts lose hope in ever finding their Chosen; these usually find some other way to make themselves useful, such as joining the [[Vanguard]]'s covert [[Spectral Network]], where they act as scouts and spies for the Vanguard. Ghosts that never find their Chosen may be referred to as "unconnected" or "unpartnered".<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ghost_Stories#The_Watchful_Eye|The Watchful Eye]]''</ref> | Some Ghosts lose hope in ever finding their Chosen; these usually find some other way to make themselves useful, such as joining the [[Vanguard]]'s covert [[Spectral Network]], where they act as scouts and spies for the [[Vanguard]].

These Hive Ghosts would become part of the Witch Queen's [[Lucent Brood]], with [[Fynch]], a renegade amongst them, stated that Savathûn and Immaru tricked a number of Guardian-less Ghosts to join them, claiming that the Hive were more deserving of the Light than humanity and would give the Hive Ghosts purpose. However, while human Risen often treat their Ghosts as friends and companions, the Hive Lightbearers are less generous in their treatment of the Hive Ghosts, with most treating them with contempt, suspicion and hostility. Immaru and Savathûn are the only known exception to this, as they treat each other as equals. | ||
Due to the integral role the Hive Ghosts have to the Lucent Brood, the Guardians would have little choice but to target the Hive Ghosts to defeat the Hive Lightbearers to prevent them from rising again. This would be the first time Guardians would have to target Ghosts since the age of the [[Warlord]]s. The Guardian's Ghost, would view the Hive Ghosts as traitors to humanity and the Light, unable to understand the reasons in their choice of siding with the Hive. | Due to the integral role the Hive Ghosts have to the Lucent Brood, the Guardians would have little choice but to target the Hive Ghosts to defeat the Hive Lightbearers to prevent them from rising again.
