'''Joxer''' | '''Joxer''' is a [[Titan (class)|Titan]] veteran of the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]] and a former frequent competitor in [[Gambit]]. Following a test run for [[Gambit Prime]] that resulted in the final death of three [[Guardian]]s, Joxer turned his back on [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]] and dedicated himself to the [[Vanguard]]. | ||

During the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]], Joxer was dispatched by the [[Vanguard]] to retrieve weapons being offered by the [[Reef]] to combat the reality-altering [[Ahamkara]]. As he waited for the Reef representative to arrive, Joxer repeatedly checked the safety on his rifle. The ninth time he did so, [[Illyn]] appeared with a floating container and reassured him he would not need his weapon. Joxer did not lower his auto rifle and the [[Techeun]] mocked him and the [[Guardian]]s for being so afraid despite the power of their [[Light]] and their desperate turn to Queen [[Mara Sov]] for aid. He retorted that the Ahamkara were destroying entire regions of [[Venus]] and declared it was a problem he was unable to just punch and demanded the weapons. Illyn opened the container to show him the weapons within and stated they must all be returned once the hunt was done. Joxer questioned why, and Illyn stated those were the conditions [[Riven|she]] had set with her bargain. Joxer tried to get more information from Illyn about the deal, but the Techeun remained quiet so Joxer hefted the container onto his back and departed.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_the_Great_Hunt_(Titan)#Plate_of_the_Great_Hunt|Plate of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> | During the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]], Joxer was dispatched by the [[Vanguard]] to retrieve weapons being offered by the [[Reef]] to combat the reality-altering [[Ahamkara]].

Decades later, Joxer and his fellow [[Titan (class)|Titan]] [[Redrix-3]] were guarding a train with a [[Crucible]] weapons shipment that included [[Tex Mechanica]] weaponry. After two [[Redjacks]] were eliminated by an intruder, the two Titans found and confronted [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]], whom Joxer had gotten to know through his participation in [[Gambit]]. Joxer questioned what the mysterious Lightbearer was doing there, and the Drifter explained he needed weapons parts to craft the rewards he handed out in Gambit matches before asking for them to let him take what he needed. Joxer responded that Commander [[Zavala]] would not approve, but the Drifter scornfully asked if the Vanguard actually had power over the two Titans before offering to double the value of their [[Mote of Dark|Motes of Darkness]] in their next Gambit matches. The two Titans looked at each other and accepted the Drifter's offer.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ancient_Apocalypse_Armor_(Titan)#Ancient_Apocalypse_Gauntlets|Ancient Apocalypse Gauntlets]]''</ref> As the Drifter plundered the Tex Mechanica crates, Joxer and Redrix repaired the Redjacks to cover his tracks.

When the [[ | Rededicating himself to the [[Vanguard]]'s mission of serving the [[Last City]], Joxer cut all his ties with the Drifter and worked to atone for his past actions. When the [[Pyramids]] arrived in the [[Solar System]], Joxer decided to visit the Drifter aboard the ''Derelict'', and was greeted with suspicion by the shady Lightbearer. Joxer claimed he was not there for any trouble and instead wished to issue a friendly warning, which only further angered the paranoid Drifter. Exasperated by the Drifter's hostility, Joxer noted the arrival of the Pyramids and the rumors that they had been responsible for the [[Collapse]]. If they were hostile and agents of the [[Darkness]], then Joxer believed the Drifter's association with the Darkness and use of Dark Motes might draw others to attack him. The Drifter dismissed his warning and wondered if he might be the one intending to take him out, but Joxer noted he was simply trying to make amends after what he had done, which included giving the Drifter a suggestion to lay low. With one last glance at the Dark Motes and a wish that that the Drifter would see reason, Joxer departed as the Drifter taunted him about still wearing the Gambit Prime armor despite his changed ways.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', [[Witherhoard]]''</ref> | ||
