The Speaker^[1] is an enigmatic figure within the Last City. He is very old, having lived as far back as the earliest days of the City.^[2] He apparently acts as an adviser to the Guardians,^[3] even adopting the Titan Saint-14 as his own son.^[4] The Speaker at one time also had an apprentice, Osiris, but in the end they became bitter rivals over their differences in philosophy, and eventually Osiris was exiled from the City.^[2] For this reason, the Cult of Osiris does not think favorably of the Speaker.

Titan Marks

Warlock Bonds

Ghost Shells

The Speaker also sells a selection of Rare Ghost Shells for 810 Glimmer each. They are set at levels 34, 36, and 38, and are capped at 190 Light. These same Ghost Shells also have a chance to randomly drop as loot, and can have any Light value up to 300.

"That is good news."

"He is too weak. Let him rest."

"Still, there is more for you to do."

"No -- it can't be true."

"When our light is stronger. Not now."

"There are more still out there."

"Then they are vulnerable. Good."
