| == Beginning == | | ==Biography== |
| Centuries after the collapse, a stray [[Ghost]] wandering the ruins outside the [[Cosmodrome]], searching for a Guardian before finally finding one among the ancient remains, and revives him/her. Ghost leads the Guardian out of the Cosmodrome and back to [[The Last City]] after finding a [[ship]], and introduces them to the people of the [[Tower]]. The Guardian returns to the Cosmodrome in order to find a [[Warp Drive]] which will allow him/her to travel the solar system faster ; after slaying an [[Archon]] of the [[House of Devils]] to retrieve the Warp Drive, the Guardian gains an audience with the [[Speaker]], who confides in them that the Darkness is returning, and that the Guardian must help protect the City any way they can. | | Centuries after the collapse, a [[Ghost]] scouring the ruins outside of the old [[Cosmodrome]] finds its Guardian among the ancient remains and resurrects 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 City]]. At the [[Tower]] the Guardian is acquainted with the merchants and Guardians who reside there. The Guardian then returns to the Cosmodrome in order to find a [[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]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A Guardian Rises]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Restoration]]''</ref> |
| | |
| The Guardian makes two important discoveries while in the Cosmodrome; the first is that the [[Hive]], who had slain countless Guardians after they were beaten back to the [[Moon]], have returned to [[Earth]] to prepare for an invasion. The second is that [[Rasputin]], one of the legendary [[warmind]]s, has survived the [[collapse]], and has restored contact with the rest of the [[Solar System]]. The player travels to the Moon to investigate the Hive threat; they receive an urgent message that the Hive are attempting to drain the [[Traveler]] of its [[light]], and that they must be stopped at all costs. However, they also run into a mysterious [[Exo Stranger|stranger]], who tells them to meet her on [[Venus]] to stop another rising threat.
| |
| | |
| After stopping the Hive ritual, the Guardian travels to Venus and discovers the [[Vex]], a machine race bent on dominating reality itself. The Stranger tells the Guardian that the only way to stop the Vex and save the Traveler is to enter the [[Black Garden]] and destroy its [[Black Heart|heart]]. The Guardian seeks counsel with the [[Awoken]] of the [[Reef]]; the [[Queen]] tells them that the only way into the Garden is to retrieve the eye of a Vex [[Zydron, Gate Lord|Gate Lord]]. They assume it to be a suicide mission, but the Guardian returns with the eye. The Queen tells the Guardian that they now owe her a favor in return for her information.
| |
| | |
| The entrance to the Black Garden, located on [[Mars]], lies behind thick [[Cabal]] defenses. After successfully restoring the Gate Lord's eye using dormant Vex technology, the Guardian enters the Black Garden, a strange Vex realm outside of normal spacetime. At its center is the Black Heart, an abomination whom the Vex worship and seek to use to bend reality to their will. The Guardian kills its protectors, the [[Sol Progeny]], destroying the Heart and freeing the Black Garden from Vex control. Light begins returning to the Traveler.<ref name="Destiny">'''Bungie (2015-2-24)''', ''Destiny'': Activision Blizzard</ref> But to finish off the Vex threat, the player must enter the [[Vault of Glass]], the source of the Vex's reality-altering powers, and kill its leader, [[Atheon]].

| | |
| === Return of the Crota, Son of Oryx ===
| |
| [[Eris Morn]], the last survivor of a fireteam who went to the Moon to stop the Hive god [[Crota]], is looking for Guardians to help her. The Hive's return to Earth is but a prelude to the return of Crota, whom his followers are attempting to awaken. Eris sends the player into the Cosmodrome to stop the invaders, especially after they attempt to kill Rasputin. She then sends the player to stop the Hive's awakening ritual on the Moon. After eliminating Crota's generals, the player finishes off Crota himself in his netherworld, the [[Oversoul Throne]], deep within the Hellmouth.
| |
| | |
| === House of Wolves Rebellion ===
| |
| The Reef is embroiled in civil war as the [[House of Wolves]], a Fallen house whom the [[Queen]] had conquered during the [[Reef Wars]], are now in open rebellion. Their leader, [[Skolas]], has declared himself the Kell of Kells and wishes to unite the Fallen under his banner. The Queen has summoned the Guardians to aid her in ending the rebellion, in return for the Reef's treasures. The player is aided by [[Petra Venj]] and [[Variks, The Loyal]], with whom they search for Skolas and put a stop to his plans. After failing to seize control of the [[House of Devils]] and [[House of Kings]], Skolas instead attempts to seize control of the Vault of Glass and the Vex technology within. The player finally captures him atop the Citadel, stopping him from summoning his entire House through time from the Vex's time portals. Skolas is sent back to the [[Prison of Elders]], where he's finished off once and for all.
| |
| | |
| === The Taken War ===
| |
| [[Oryx]], the father of Crota, has come with his Hive fleet to avenge his fallen son. Using his terrible power, Oryx creates a new army called the [[Taken]], and lays siege to the entire solar system. The [[Awoken]] fleet lead by Queen Mara Sov attempt to stop him before he can enter the Inner System, but they are utterly destroyed. He then starts Taking the Cabal stationed on [[Phobos]] who send out a distress signal, which catches the Vanguard's attention. Responding to the distress signal, the player is sent to investigate. Upon seeing the devastation, the player is confronted by a vision of Oryx, who tells the player that he is there to pay back humanity for his son's death. Realizing the threat that laid before them, [[Cayde-6]] crafts a plan with the player to sneak aboard Oryx's [[Dreadnaught]]. Though they are successful, they cannot enter Oryx's inner sanctum until the player becomes [[Ascendant Hive|Ascendant]]; Eris helps the player recover the last fragments of Crota's Soul, allowing entry into Oryx's chambers, where they duel. Though Oryx's physical form was defeated, he retreated even further into the ship, recovering his strength. Meanwhile, the Guardians work towards [[Taken War|pushing the Taken out of the system]]. Once Oryx's lieutenants, the [[Court of Oryx]], have been defeated the Guardians push deeper into the Dreadnaught to seek out Oryx within his [[Ascendant realm]]. There, he confronted the Fireteam of Guardians sent to kill him once and for all with his full might, even pulling them into a Darkness dimension. But in the end, using Light [[Warpriest|stolen]] [[Golgoroth|from]] [[Light-Eater Ogre|his]] [[Light-Eater Knight|pawns]], Oryx was slain permanently.
| |
| | |
| === Siva Crisis ===
| |
| The Fallen [[House of Devils]], while looting ancient tombs from the [[Golden Age]], accidentally unearth a self replicating nano-technology plague known as [[SIVA]] within the depths of the Old Cosmodrome. This plague mutates the Devils into powerful machine gods which collapsed [[The Wall]] in Old Russia, prompting [[Lord Saladin]], the last of the [[Iron Lords]], to leave his post as the Handler of the [[Iron Banner]] and personally lead the Guardians in a final stand against the plague, raising a new generation of Iron Lords to guard the [[Last City]].
| |
| | |
| === Destiny 2 ===
| |
| The Guardian attempted to disorganize the enemy by disabling the Cabal command ship and though they succeeded in infiltrating the ship and in destroying the Shield generators, no reinforcements could make it, and they were confronted by [[Dominus Ghaul]] himself. There the Cabal Emperor activated the Light-restraining device upon the Traveler, encasing it in a force field. This act cut the Guardians off from the Traveler's [[Light]], effectively crippling them. Ghaul savagely beat the weakened Guardian, even sending them off of his command ship along with their [[Ghost]], plummeting to the devastated city below. Barely surviving the fall, the Guardian linked up with others, and with little choice, they evacuated the Last City.
| |
| | |
| Despite Ghaul's success in attacking the City, the Guardian refused to give up the fight, and after setting up a camp in the [[European Dead Zone]], they sought out to gain new powers and began developing a counterattack against the Red Legion.
