'''The Ghost''' (sometimes called '''Little Light''') is the robotic companion and partner to the [[The Guardian|Guardian]].

===Before Finding the Guardian===

Not much is known about Ghost prior to him finding the Guardian, save for him later remembering that he once met [[Saint-14]] prior to his disappearance in the [[Infinite Forest]], and had hoped his Guardian would turn out like him.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], [[Not Even the Darkness]]''</ref>

Centuries after the collapse, Ghost began scouring the [[Cosmodrome]] of [[Old Russia]], searching every stasis pod among the ruined [[colony ship]]s for his Guardian around the same time that [[Fallen]] scavengers began to establish themselves in the shipyard.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Cayde's Stash]]''</ref> At one point, he found a Guardian sealed in a stasis pod onboard the [[Devil's Spire|Exodus White]] who refused to leave and remained in the pod.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Ghost scan]]: [[Ghost scan#Cosmodrome, Earth|CSM-DVL-4]]''</ref> Months later, Ghost found his Guardian right outside the [[Gateway]] of the Cosmodrome, resurrecting them just as a band of Fallen begin encroaching on their position. Ghost leads the Guardian through [[The Wall]] in search of a [[Arcadia Class Jumpship|Jumpship]] before helping them return to the [[Last City]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[A Guardian Rises]]''</ref> At the [[Tower]] the Guardian is acquainted with the merchants and Guardians who reside there. The Guardian then returns to the Cosmodrome to find a [[NLS Drive|Warp Drive]] which will allow them to join the fight beyond Earth. After finding one in Fallen hands, the Guardian defeats the [[House of Devils|Devil]]'s [[Archon]] and gains an audience with the [[Speaker]] who confides in them that the Darkness is returning. Wanting to help, the Guardian is tasked to join the other Guardians in pushing back the Darkness until a cure for the Traveler can be found.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Restoration]]''</ref>

The Guardian ventures back to the Cosmodrome at the request of the Speaker who wants to know what the Fallen are protecting in the old [[Skywatch]], but after infiltrating the Lunar Complex, the Guardian quickly discovers the [[Hive]] locked within before confronting the [[Wizard]] [[Gotra, Eir Spawn|Gotra]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Dark Within]]''</ref>

Soon after, the Vanguard reports Fallen crews tearing into machines all over the Cosmodrome. Convinced they are not just looting, Ghost prompts the Guardian to investigate. The Guardian discovers the Warmind Rasputin survived the Collapse and is keeping the Fallen from accessing the [[Planetary Defense Network|Array]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Warmind]]''</ref> To raise this array, the Guardian tracks down access codes held by members of a lost Dead Orbit team. After fighting off the Hive, the Guardian reactivates the Array and Rasputin swiftly takes control, connecting with defense constructs across the system.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Last Array]]''</ref>

On the [[Moon]], the Guardian picks up the trail of another Guardian who went dark searching for a way into the Hive [[Hellmouth|Fortress]]. After hacking a [[Golden Age]] [[First Light|colony base]], the Guardian travels to the [[Temple of Crota]] where they fight off [[House of Exile|Exiled Fallen]] as well as Hive forces led by [[Vurok, Eir Spawn]]. Unable to save the Guardian, Ghost recovers his Ghost's memories and learns that the Hive are raising an army to invade [[Earth]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Dark Beyond]]''</ref>

In an attempt to uncover what the Hive are planning, the Guardian infiltrates the [[The World's Grave]] and kills [[Kranox, the Graven]]. The Guardian's Ghost then steals as much data as possible before the two return to warn the City. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The World's Grave (mission)]]''</ref> Returning to the Moon, the Guardian infiltrates the Hellmouth once more and claims the Sword of Crota. With its [[Swarm Princes|makers]] slain, the Sword shatters.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Sword of Crota]]''</ref> While inside the Hellmouth, the Guardian follows a lead from the vanished Warlock Osiris, seeking the fabled [[Shrine of Oryx]]. After killing [[Frigoris, Exiled Baron]] and his [[House of Exile]] crew, the Guardian defeats [[Sardok, Eye of Oryx]] and destroys the Shrine.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Shrine of Oryx (mission)|Shrine of Oryx]]''</ref>

After successfully decrypting the information from the World's Grave alongside the [[Cryptarch]]s, the Speaker broadcasts an urgent transmission to all Guardians claiming that a Hive ritual is draining the Traveler's [[Light]]. The Guardian then returns once more to the Hive temple and after receiving a message from the [[Elisabeth Bray|Exo Stranger]], inviting them to come find her if they are successful, kills the [[Siphon Witch]]es, effectively preventing them from stealing any more of the [[Light]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Chamber of Night (mission)|Chamber of Night]]''</ref>

Following the Stranger's coordinates, the Guardian finally travels to Venus where they are ambushed by the evil robots known as [[Vex]]. After defeating the Vex forces in the vicinity, the Guardian meets with the Exo Stranger, who tells them that they must find the [[Black Garden]] and rip out its [[Black Heart|heart]] for the Traveler to heal. Before the Guardian can ask any more questions, the Exo Stranger is contacted by an unknown entity before dissolving.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[A Stranger's Call]]''</ref> With the only ones who know the location of the Garden being the [[Awoken]], the Guardian seeks an audience with the [[Mara Sov|Queen]] of the [[Reef]] and is informed that they must obtain the eye of a Vex [[Gate Lord]] to infiltrate the Black Garden. The Queen then reminds the Guardian that they owe her in exchange for her information.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Awoken]]''</ref>

To find a Gate Lord, the Guardian travels to an old research station of the [[Ishtar Collective]], and analyzes a Vex mind core, giving them vital intel on the nature of the Vex as well as the means with which to summon the Gate Lord. While at the Ishtar Academy, the Guardian kills [[Grayliks, Winter Baron]] and secures an ancient Golden Age [[Archive]] for the Cryptarchs.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Archive]]''</ref> Armed with this new intel, the Guardian reaches the [[Endless Steps]], summoning and slaying [[Zydron, Gate Lord]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Eye of a Gate Lord]]''</ref> Returning to the Reef, the Guardian brings the Gate Lord's head before the Queen, who gifts its eye to them in sympathy for their Traveler. [[Uldren]] then gives them the coordinates to the Black Garden including a way to repower the Gate Lord's dead eye, which is on [[Meridian Bay]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[A Key Awaits]]''</ref>

On Mars, the Guardian infiltrates a Cabal survey post and secures their research into the Vex Spire.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Exclusion Zone (mission)]]''</ref> The Guardian clears out the Cabal occupying the ruins of Freehold and explores what remains.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Buried City (mission)]]''</ref> Battling their way through the [[Exclusion Zone]], the Guardian reaches the [[Spire|Garden's Spire]] and kills [[Primus Sha'aul]]. While en route to the Garden, the Guardian also shuts down a series of Vex gates beneath the subway tunnels of [[Freehold]] and discovers that the Vex are being summoned to protect the place where they were born.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[A Rising Tide]]''</ref> Succefully recharging Zydron's Eye, the Guardian is transported to the Black Garden.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Garden's Spire]]''</ref>

Within the Black Garden, the Guardian confronts the [[Sol Progeny]] and defeats them, destroying the Black Heart, a failed replica of [[The Veil|the Veil]], in the process. Returned to Mars upon the Heart's destruction, the Guardian is summoned back to the Tower, where the Speaker gives a victory speech. Meanwhile, the Exo Stranger converses with the Guardian inside the [[Tower#Tower Hangar|Hangar]] and gifts them with her [[The Stranger's Rifle|Rifle]] before leaving abruptly again. The Guardian then repowers their ship and takes off into orbit as they prepare for their next mission.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Black Garden]]''</ref>

Ghost would accompany his still fledgling guardian as they sought out [[Eris Morn]] who had asked for them. Upon meeting the suspicious [[Hunter]], she'd guide the pair to hunt down [[Crota, Son of Oryx]]'s limbs as they are the keys to preparing [[Earth]] for his arrival. First they find and challenge [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]], then repelled [[Omnigul, Will of Crota]] from corrupting Rasputin, and then kill the [[Waker of Crota|Wakers of Crota]] and destroy the [[Soul of Crota|crystal]] holding Crota's soul, denying him access to the physical world. Eris would then ask the Guardian and their ghost to destroy Omnigul, then finish off Crota for good.

Crota's mate would meet her end within the [[Jovian Complex]] and soon after Crota would meet his final end in his own Throne World at the hands of Ghost's guardian.

[[Mara Sov|The Queen of the Reef]] would send out a call for guardians to come to the Reef and heed her command. The Guardian and their ghost would answer and under the guidance of [[Petra Venj]], would begin wiping out the [[House of Wolves]] and tracking down [[Skolas, Kell of Kells]]. Skolas would be successfully tracked and captured, with key Fallen leadership eliminated along the way. With [[Variks, the Loyal]]'s oversight, Skolas would be put to death in the [[Prison of Elders]] with Ghost's guardian being the one to carry it out. The execution would be successful and the House of Wolves would be irreparably broken.

===The Taken King===

With the Vanguard intercepting a distress signal from the [[Skyburners]] military base on [[Phobos]], Ghost accompanies the Guardian as they are sent to investigate. Upon arriving, at the base, Ghost remarks that the Cabal are evacuating at mass and realizes that they were engaging with enemies beyond the domain of [[Mars]]. Within the fortress as the Guardian discovers dead Cabal, Ghost question the true nature of their demise. Moreover, Eris Morn joins their comm channels at the behest of Zavala, where she begins to hear uncanny voices from the dark as the Guardian encounters strange pools of Darkness. Continuing deeper into the fortress, they encounter a projection of [[Oryx, the Taken King]] as they are assaulted by [[Taken]], Darkness-corrupted entities bound to his will. As the Guardian discovers a hologram of a large Hive spaceship, Ghost recognizes it as the [[Dreadnaught]] from the data gathered from the World's Grave. Furthermore, after scanning further data, Ghost discloses that [[Ta'aun, Hand of Oryx|Primus Ta'aun]] had suspended all mining operations on Phobos, and that the different Cabal Legions were facing massive casualties. Despite the hordes of Taken standing in their way, Ghost evacuates the Cabal base alongside the Guardian.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[The Coming War]]''</ref>

With Eris Morn stating that Oryx's Taken army would only continue to grow if he was not eliminated, Cayde would develop a plan to infiltrate the Dreadnaught utilizing stealth technology from Rasputin. To retrieve this technology, Ghost would travel to the Devils' Lair alongside the Guardian to retrieve this technology. As the Guardian was forced to fight through Taken forces, Ghost would reminiscent of the time that Sepiks Prime was their largest threat. Accessing a fuse box, Ghost would activate the bridge leading to the top of the lair. After the Guardian defeats an Echo of Oryx, Ghost scans the case to expose the stealth technology, allowing the Guardian to retrieve it as they prepare for the next step of their plan.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Cayde's Stash]]''</ref>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

====King Dethroned====

 

Despite succeeding in their objective in killing Oryx, Ghost and the Guardian would be sent to return to the Dreadnaught on the orders of Variks to capture [[Malok, Pride of Oryx]], who threatened to claim the Taken Throne for himself.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/4/12)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Pretender to the Throne]]''</ref> However after Malok retreats from the Dreadnaught, Ghost and the Guardian return to Eris Morn who orders them to retrieve Echoes that will allow her to determine Malok's location. Furthermore, she regards Variks's objective to capture Malok as foolish and orders the Guardian to eliminate the Taken Prince. Ultimately, Ghost and the Guardian succeed in eliminating Malok, with Eris even complementing them for their efforts.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/4/12)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Blighted Chalice]]''</ref>

 

 

With Saladin realizing that the Devils' had gained access to [[SIVA]]; a Golden Age in self-replicating nanotechnology responsible for the Iron Lord's demise. When Ghost asked Saladin why they never knew about SIVA and why there was no information about it within the Vanguard database, Saladin would merely state that he went to great lengths to seal it away and that the records containing information about the nanotechnology were within the Iron Temple. Thus, to learn of the extent of the SIVA outbreak, Ghost and the Guardian would attempt to locate Sepiks Perfected. After Ghost discovers a Node enhanced with the same technology as Sepiks, consuming everything around its location, Saladin discloses that it is SIVA. Due to [[Shiro-4]] losing all the readings from the Sensor Grid, Ghost and the Guardian would travel towards a monitoring station to get the grid back online. Eventually after fending off the [[Devil Splicers]] who had augmented themselves with the technology, Ghost succeeds in receiving all the information he could from the Sensor logs before returning the Iron Temple at Saladin's behest.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[The Walls Come Down]]''</ref>

 

Next after conversing with Saladin and [[Tyra Karn]], Ghost and the Guardian are sent to the [[Plaguelands]] in Old Russia to eliminate the Devils Splicer detachment that had occupied a military bunker so Vanguard reinforcements could leave the hanger. Shortly after arriving to the Rocketlands, Ghost scans a Fallen Vandal with enhanced armor, which Shiro reveals is a [[Splicers|Splicer]]; bio engineers within the different Fallen Houses. Following their victory  after destroying Golden Age weapons reanimated by SIVA and a [[Splicer Walker|Perfected Walker]], Ghost and the Guardian return to the Iron Temple to speak with Saladin, where he recalls the story of the Iron Lord's demise. Saladin reveals that the Iorn Lords sought out SIVA to rebuild civilization. However, upon discovering the [[Site 6|SIVA Replication Complax]] within the Cosmodrome, Rasputin weaponizing the technology against them, ultimately leading to the demise of the Iron Lords and [[Jolder]] sacrificing her life to seal SIVA away. When Ghost questioned how and where the Iron Lords had obtained their knowledge of SIVA, Saladin realized that they hadn't fully mastered the technology and sends them to work with Tyra Karn to unveil the Fallen's discovery.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[The Plaguelands]]''</ref>

 

 

 

Ghost and the Guardian received intel from Variks of debris crashed into [[Mount Esja]]. After performing a visual inspection and scans, he confirmed the debris was from the Reef. Ghost failed to send a message to Petra, a Trials of Osiris representative, and Variks. This alerted remnants of the House of Winter who where observing the wreckage. Heading back to the Tower, Ghost tried to contact the Vanguard to no avail. Ghost became concerned, and decided to perform an after action report while they waited for communications to go back online.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], [[Estival Excursion#Lore|Estival Excursion]]''</ref>

 

Returning to the Last City, Ghost and the Guardian return to the Last City to discover it had been invaded by Cabal from the esteemed, [[Red Legion]], who had placed a cage over the Traveler. After aiding Zavala in fending off Cabal forces, Ghost and the Guardian would board the [[The Immortal|Immortal]] with assistance from [[Amanda Holliday]], destroying its shielding and several Red Legion commanders in the process. While attempting to escape the ship by arriving on the deck, Ghost would contemplate how they would recover from this catastrophic invasion. Suddenly, the Duo would be interrupted by [[Dominus Ghaul]] as the [[Traveler Cage]] would activate, stripping the Light from both Ghost and the Guardian in the process. Ghost was instantaneously sent into a completely catatonic state and was kicked off of Ghaul's ship alongside the Guardian, seemingly to their deaths.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], [[Homecoming]]''</ref>

 

However, despite being sent plummeting down into the Last City, Ghost would survive the colossal fall. Both, he and the Guardian received a vision that most notably exhibited a large pale shard. Eventually, Ghost would find the Guardian, expressing his gratitude for his survival before healing him while explaining that he was now incapable of resurrecting them. Furthermore, he would also disclose that the Red Legion had occupied the Last City and were executing Lightless Guardians. Upon escaping the Last City, Ghost would pick up an emergency broadcast, revealing that survivors had fled to avoid the Cabal's wrath.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Returning to the new Tower, Ghost and the Guardian meet up with Ikora, who informs them that there were strange reports coming from the [[Cult of Osiris]] on [[Mercury]]. Moreover, Ikora reveals that one of her Hidden discovered [[Sagira]], the Ghost of [[Osiris]] who was found deactivated. Ecstatic over this revelation, Ghost enthusiastically questions Ikora if the Osiris she was speaking of was the esteemed Warlock known for his miraculous achievements, with the Warlock Vanguard confirming his assertion. With Vex activity on the planet surging shortly after Sagira's discovery, Ikora orders the Ghost and the Guardian to travel to Mercury with Sagira's shell and meet with the Cult of Osiris. When Ikora commands them to keep this mission a secret and sarcastically states that she will throw them off the wall if they disobey her orders. Uncertain if she was being sincere, Ghost asks Ikora if she was bantering, to which she affirms his suspicion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Landing at the [[Olympus Descent]], Ghost alerts Ana that they arrived at the planet's surface and questions her status. Ana affirms that she is safe and states that they must infiltrate the Clovis Bray facility. With Ana revealing that the Warsats had been firing unto the planet since her arrival, Ghost comes to the realization that the weapon she was speaking about is Rasputin. As the Guardian fights through hordes of frozen Hive, Ghost recognizes that these Hive were from a [[Grasp of Nokris|different]] brood that they had not encountered before. Furthermore, he also spots a tremendously large Worm in the distance. Eventually, after defeating multitudes of Hive, Ghost and the Guardian arrive at the coordinates and join up with Ana Bray.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind]] - [[Ice and Shadow]]''</ref>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the revelation that Uldren was attempting to open the gateway to the [[Dreaming City]] at the Watchtower with the belief that Mara was still alive, Ghost and the Guardian board their jumpship and begin their journey to the destination. While travelling to this location, Ghost once again reminds the Guardian that eliminating Fikrul and Uldren are the final steps to avenging Cayde. However, Ghost remarks that although Uldren deserves to face judgement for his crimes, the true reason they desire to enact their vengeance weighs just as heavily as the motivation behind their actions. Upon arriving to their location, Ghost notifies Petra that they are travelling on foot to the Watchtower, with the Queen's Wrath disclosing that she is travelling through air flight. As the Guardian approaches the entrance to the Watchtower and slays Fikrul, the Fanatic, Petra proclaims to Ghost that they must end Uldren's campaign for Cayde. When the Guardian uses rifts in the Ascendant Plane to travel further up the Watchtower, Ghost remarks that the line between both realities is thin within this Awoken outpost. Eventually, the duo approach the top of the Watchtower, where Uldren had been deceived into opening the gateway  into the Dreaming City by an unknown entity and had been devoured by the [[Voice of Riven]]. Despite its remarkable power, the Guardian slays the Voice of Riven, freeing Uldren Sov from its grasp. With the sinister threat eliminated, Ghost would manifest alongside the Guardian as they retrieve the Ace of Spades and prepares to execute Uldren alongside Petra. However, Ghost would object this choice of action as he would proclaim that despite the countless atrocities Uldren had committed, the Awoken Prince should not be executed as he was now defeated. Petra would counter Ghost's argument by stating to the Guardian that she understood what Cayde would do in this situation. Regardless of his objection, Ghost would stand by the Guardian and Petra as they executed Uldren for his crimes.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Nothing Left to Say]]''</ref>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eventually, after travelling down the dark staircase and fighting hordes of Hive, the Guardian arrives to the Catacombs. As the Guardian activates a sigil to create a bridge leading to the, Ghost apprehensively enlightens his allies that the Pyramid's influence is once again attempting to seize control of his Light. Remaining persistent in their mission, Eris pronounces that the Pyramid was merely a distraction and assures him that she will teleport them to safety once the Cryptoglyph is retrieved. Despite this assurance, Ghost continues to remain anxious of the Nightmares presence, but assures himself that they were only a diversion meant to distract them from infiltration the Pyramid.  

 

====Breaching the Lunar Pyramid====

 

 

===Twist of Fate===

===Arrival of the Black Fleet===

===Rise of House Salvation===

During [[Beyond Light]], Ghost got a transmission from [[Variks, the Loyal|Variks]] about a new threat upon Europa, leading to the Guardian and Ghost adventuring to the frozen moon. After activating some communication relays for a secret rebel communication system, a [[Crux of Darkness]] appears and controls Ghost's shell again. After the Guardian obtains a [[Splinter of Darkness]], Ghost becomes worried that the Guardian will forget about the [[Light]] and become consumed by [[Darkness]]. After defeating [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] using [[Stasis]], Ghost made a promise that he will always be with the Guardian, whether on the path of Light or Darkness.

===Investigating the Stolen Light===

During [[Witch Queen]], Ghost has their faith shaken in the Traveler after encountering Ghosts reviving and working with the Hive, gifting them the same Light as he gifts to the Guardian. Due to his perception of Hive Ghost actions as a betrayal of the ideals he upholds, Ghost develops a newfound zealotry, unafraid to show anger. At one point, he even shouts down [[Savathun]], proclaiming that she had killed many of his friends (notably [[Sagira]]).<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[The Ritual]]''</ref>

Ghost is shown to be loyal and selfless, as he has stuck by the Guardian in some of their darkest times and has never hesitated to help others (his Guardian in particular). He is shown to care deeply for his Guardian as a friend, as he disregarded his own physical condition during the beginning of the Red War to heal his Guardian (who had been in a critical state at the time). He is genuinely glad that the Traveler chose the Guardian as his Risen. However, he seems to dislike going into harm's way; when the Guardian still talked regularly, it was generally their idea to go someplace dangerous. As their relationship evolved, the Guardian became more taciturn, generally allowing Ghost to speak for them. Though generally very chatty, Ghost is somewhat insecure and possessive; this may be because it took him longer than usual to find the Guardian, and how he had begun losing hope before he had. When Sagira borrowed his shell out of necessity, it seemed to upset him more that his Guardian was working with a different Ghost than that his own body had been possessed. When Ana Bray called him "one of the uptight Ghosts", it elicited a laugh from the Guardian, who knew him best. The Drifter also observed that Ghost can be feisty.  

However, like his Guardian, Ghost does possess a dark side as he desires vengeance against Uldren and the Scorn for Cayde-6's murder, even agreeing to defy orders from Zavala to hunt them down. Ghost was serious and sullen during the hunt for the Scorn Barons, hardly being his usual chatty self. Despite this, Ghost did begin to question their mission to avenge Cayde as they got closer to their goal, finally stating that killing the weakened and powerless Uldren was wrong. Even before then, he had compiled a list of things he wished to say to his Guardian, among them expressing his discomfort with their apparent rampage.<ref name="Thin Line"/>

Prior to the events of [[Beyond Light]], Ghost has never voiced objections to some of his Guardian's other dark pursuits, such as the acquisition of a [[Thorn]], which speaks to his loyalty towards the Guardian. This is not to say that Ghost is approving of any attempts to weaponize the Darkness and its petitioners; he refuses to recognize the Drifter's [[The Drifter's Ghost|heavily-modified Ghost]] as a Ghost, instead referring to it as a "thing" or "machine".<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], [[Means to an End]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], [[Contact]] [[Public Event]]''</ref>

During [[The Witch Queen]], many of Ghost's insecurities were forced to the surface, primarily having to come to terms with how many other Ghosts had turned to work for the Hive. At first, Ghost couldn't fathom seeing the Hive wielding the Light and having Ghosts of their own, denouncing the Hive Ghosts as traitors. It was these feelings that had Ghost act somewhat hostile towards [[Fynch]], a renegade Hive Ghost but would accept him as an ally. Alongside this was his rage when [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] asked him how he felt being the bad guy in the eyes of the [[Traveler]], to which he responded in abject anger pointing out all the horrendous things the Hive had done to Ghosts and Humanity, leaving Savathûn silent. Further, he firmly stated his commitment and loyalty to humanity, proclaiming he would rather die than betray humanity.
