'''Guren''' was the [[Ghost]] of the exiled [[Warlock]] [[Toland, the Shattered]]. They assisted the [[Lightbearer]] in his research into the [[Hive]] and quest to harness the power of the [[Deathsong]] to transcend death.

==Biography==
When two [[Guardian]]s, [[Eriana-3]] and [[Eris Morn]], triggered the perimeter alarms of Toland's hideout, Guren alerted his Lightbearer to their approach and asked permission to activate their defenses. Toland denied their request and noted they were coming for knowledge, not battle. Guren guessed they wished to know what he knew of the [[Hive]], an assessment Toland agreed with and he declared that he intended to greet them with a smile and see how they might benefit from using them. Guren agreed with his plan, but suggested that he forego the smile as his unnerved other people instead of setting them at ease.<ref name="GFTG">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Luna%27s_Lost#Ghost_Fragment:_Toland's_Ghost|Luna's Lost - Ghost Fragment: Toland's Ghost]]''</ref>

Guren and Toland joined Eriana, Eris, and three other Guardians on a mission to [[Moon|Luna]] in order to assassinate the Hive God Prince [[Crota, Son of Oryx]]. However, they secretly had no intention of seeing the mission through or faith in its odds of success and were instead intent on using the [[Deathsong]] of the Hive to transcend death. As Toland found [[Ir Yût, the Deathsinger]] and listened to her melody, Guren sent one final transmission mocking the followers of the [[Traveler]] and their previous attempts to stop his research, confident that Toland would succeed and reach new powers beyond death in the [[Ascendant Realm]]. As they perished, Guren noted his only regret was being unable to live on to see Toland's final triumph.<ref name="GFTG"/>

His remains can be found in the [[The Summoning Pits (location)|Summoning Pits]] in the [[Hellmouth]].

==Trivia==
*Toland mentions having destroyed his Ghost, as it "did him little good".<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ascendant Challenge]], [[Toland, the Shattered]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gx3_SYijFg&list=PLS2hBTtCDufRmXZXWEaaF6195uf5uq0Ub&index=32 " I destroyed my Ghost, when I was like you. You should consider doing the same. Little good it does you."]''</ref> It is unclear how exactly that happened, but considering Guren's final words, the Ghost himself did not seem to mind having to die in order for his Guardian to achieve his final goal of ascendance.
