"Thank the Light, I didn't think we'd have other Guardians on patrol here."

— Shaw Han

Shaw Han is a Hunter operative working for the Vanguard. He is highly skilled and leads fireteams into dangerous missions throughout the Solar System. Four years following the SIVA Crisis, he, Maeve, and Caster-3 were deployed in the Cosmodrome. Due to a rushed preliminary scan, the fireteam was assaulted by Hive led by Navôta, Eir Spawn, and both Cas and Maeve lost their lives to the Hive Wizard. Shaw Han was the only survivor. Ever since, he has remained as the Vanguard's representative in Old Russia.

Biography

Forming a Fireteam

This section needs expansion. You can help Destinypedia by expanding it.

Immediately before Io was Taken by the Witness, Shaw was on a mission with his fireteam deep in the moon's caves fighting the local Vex. Shaw and his team managed to escape just in time to watch the planet be consumed by darkness.

Shaw's next mission was on Europa, where he was abandoned by his fireteam and struggled to fight against the Fallen of House Salvation; at one point, he became trapped within a Stasis crystal, but he escaped and made his way back to the Last City.

Following these misadventures, Shaw posted a notice that he was looking for a new fireteam as he was walking through the Last City's streets. He came across an armor vendor, who sold him a gauntlet-and-pauldron piece decorated with bones; as he tried the armor on, Shaw idly wished that he could be part of a reliable fireteam for a change. Shortly afterward, he received a message from Caster-3 responding to his posting.

Preventing the Final Shape

Shaw Han joined the Coalition forces for the final stand against the Witness. The army attacked the Witness, severing its hold over the Traveler's Light and in a direct attack, struck at the Witness directly, unmaking it with a tremendous surge of Light. At last, the War against the Witness was over, with the Coalition and the people of the Last City rejoicing.
