Dredgen Yor (alias, original name unknown)[1] was an infamous Guardian who fell to Darkness and became one of humanity's most hated villains. He was also the former owner of the exotic Hand Cannon Thorn.[2] He started his life as a noble hero, and a champion of the Crucible[3] but over time he began to despair and started looking to the Hive for ways to defeat the Darkness. Eventually he was overtaken by Darkness completely, and began wielding the dark sorcery of the Hive, killing innocents wantonly and consuming their Light.[4][5] He parted ways with his Ghost, whom he considered his last true friend, after a long debate where his Ghost attempted to get him to see the error of his ways.[1]

Dredgen's motivations are still something of a mystery, but what is clear is that he had lost hope and faith in the Guardian's cause, and instead pursued his own twisted version of "peace". He also wanted the memory of his former life as a hero unspoiled, so that his victims would come to fear him even more when they realized who he was.[1] He even hungered for the Light of others, though this may be more due to the influence of Thorn or the Hive and their parasitic nature.

Yor was responsible for the destruction of the settlement of Palamon and the death of its protector, the Guardian and owner of Last Word, Jaren Ward.[6] However, he spared Ward's Ghost and his son, Shin Malphur, as he anticipated that Shin would hunt him down in desire for revenge, hoping to corrupt him to Darkness. He is confirmed for murdering two other guardians: the Hunter, Pahanin[3] and the Titan, Thalor, who reigned undefeated in the Crucible until one fateful match, where he wound up on the wrong end of Thorn.[7] Yor would eventually fall to Shin Malphur, in a showdown at Dwindler's Ridge.[8] Shin described Yor as "the darkest shadow [he] would ever know."[9]
