After the Great Disaster, the Vanguard and Consensus as a military structure essentially vaporized as trust in their leadership was called into question.

As Aarach [[Jalaal]] | After the Great Disaster, the Vanguard and Consensus as a military structure essentially vaporized as trust in their leadership was called into question. Both the Vanguard and the Consensus dissolved into symbolic command as neither of them could get a grip on the remaining Guardians. As Aarach [[Jalaal]] puts it “Everyone is a rogue now. It is fashionable to be a rogue.” <ref>'''Bungie, (3/2/2019),''' ''[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/47654 Narrative Preview - Praxic Order]''</ref> The idea of the Vanguard as a commanding presence over all Guardians is completely defunct as the Vanguard struggles to even manage the practices done in the [[Crucible]]. <ref> '''Bungie''', ''https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/commander-zavala-defender-of-light''</ref>. Due to this weakness, [[Zavala]] and [[Ikora Rey|Ikora]] both have considered the dissolution of the Vanguard as a structure completely. <ref>'''Bungie (2019-3-5)''', ''https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/instability#book-stolen-intelligence''</ref> | ||

Many people from the [[Drifter]], to [[Emperor Calus|Calus]], to [[Petra Venj|Petra]], and even [[Vance]] have noted that Guardians are unusually willing to do anything for a shiny new toy. The Drifter has had many Guardians join him on his escapades and even butted heads with Emperor Calus as the two fought over Guardian loyalty. <ref>'''Bungie (2019-6-4)''', ''https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/penumbral-cloak?highlight=penumbral+cloak''</ref> In a discussion with Petra, [[Variks, the Loyal|Variks]] says, "Guardians desire many things. Glory. Honor. Treasure." <ref> '''Bungie (2019-4-12)''', ''https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/challenge-of-the-elders?highlight=Challenge+of+the+Elders''</ref> Brother Vance has also said that "They're so eager to tear each other apart for guns and cloth." <ref>'''Bungie (2020-3-10),''' ''https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/chapter-5-ambition#book-trials-and-tribulations''</ref> Many guardians have fallen for these schemes and plots, ranging from [[Katabasis]] who died for Calus to [[Temptation's Hook|Sola Scath]] who fell to [[Darkness]]. | ||
It also did not help that due to the loss of so many figurehead Guardians like Wei Ning, there were very few elders left to teach the younger generation how to fight. This then resulted in the extremely close [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]], after which Shaxx left the battlefield in order to watch over the Crucible so that he could train the next generation of battle-hardened Guardians himself. <ref name = "Shaxx">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Crucible_Handler|Crucible Handler]]''</ref> | It also did not help that due to the loss of so many figurehead Guardians like Wei Ning, there were very few elders left to teach the younger generation how to fight.
