'''David Miguel Korosec''' was a famous ethicist during the [[Golden Age]] who developed [[Humanity]]'s best understanding of the [[Traveler]]'s morality, for which he became known as "The Good Man". During the final days of the Golden Age, he travelled to the [[New Pacific Arcology]] on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] to advise on the ethical first contact with the aquatic lifeforms beneath the moon's ice shelf.

==Biography==
===Early Life and Career===
Korosec was a citizen of the [[North American Empire]], Earth's largest voluntary retro-nationalist republic.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Undying]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare|Last Days on Kraken Mare]], [[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare#The Tenth Avatar|The Tenth Avatar]]''</ref> During his career as an ethicist, he became famous for proposing a comprehensive and rigorous model of the Traveler's morality, leading him to become known as "The Good Man".<ref name="Sixth Seal Two">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Season of the Undying - Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare, [[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare#The Sixth Seal, Part II|The Sixth Seal, Part II]]''</ref>

At some point, he met a woman named [[Morgan-2|Morgan]], whom he would meet again years later on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] after she had become an [[Exo]] and entered military service under [[Rasputin]]'s command.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Season of the Undying - Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare, [[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare#Faces Like Shields|Faces Like Shields]]''</ref>

===New Pacific Arcology and the Collapse===
Shortly before the Collapse, Korosec traveled to the New Pacific Arcology on Titan to act as an ethics consultant for researchers studying the lifeforms in Titan's subterranean water ocean.<ref name="Sixth Seal One">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Season of the Undying - Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare, [[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare#The Sixth Seal, Part I|The Sixth Seal, Part I]]''</ref> He was opposed to the New Pacific Arcology government's orders for Drs. [[Khatun-Rowe]] and [[Shanice Pell]] to continue their work with power generation technology, realizing that the NPA intended to develop a superweapon from their research. His protests fell on deaf ears, as a working model was successfully developed and was among one of the few artifacts of the NPA to survive the [[Collapse]] completely intact.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/22)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Season of the Deep]] - Item Description: [[Centrifuse#Lore|Centrifuse]]''</ref>

During a debate between [[Mia van der Venne]], [[Xiana McCaig]], [[Ismail Barat]] and [[Maury Yamashita]] about how to respond to an evacuation order issued by [[Rasputin]], Korosec opined that the situation could not possibly have been a false alarm given the depth and sophistication of the Warmind's ethical calculations.<ref name="Sixth Seal One"/> Upon receiving news that the Traveler had departed Io and was speeding towards Earth, he told Mia that the Traveler would inevitably act to protect humanity against whatever was threatening the Sol System, as according to his analysis of the Traveler's moral code, "it [couldn't] do anything else."<ref name="Sixth Seal Two"/>

After Rasputin shot down an evacuation shuttle carrying [[Shanice Pell]], Korosec intuited that Rasputin was acting according to TWILIGHT EXIGENT protocols, which stated that the Warmind would treat human lives as expendable if it meant securing the survival of the species in the face of an extinction-level event.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Season of the Undying - Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare, [[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare#Kalki's Burning Sword, Part II|Kalki's Burning Sword, Part II]]''</ref>
