"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 Cas were deployed in the Cosmodrome. Due to a rushed preliminary scan, the fireteam was assaulted by Hive led by Navôta, Eir Spawn, and both Cass 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.
