The '''Vanguard''' are elite [[Guardian]]s who coordinate the [[Last City]]'s defenses, organize assaults on enemy strongholds and assassinations of their leaders, and mentor newly-risen Guardians. Some Guardians work directly for the Vanguard as scouts, investigating potential threats to the City far afield. | The '''Vanguard''' are elite [[Guardian]]s who coordinate the [[Last City]]'s defenses, organize assaults on enemy strongholds and assassinations of their leaders, and mentor newly-risen Guardians.

Following the Hive resurgence on the Moon, the Vanguard would have to contend with a controversial decision made by its Guardians as they traveled to [[Europa]] and battled with the Fallen [[House of Salvation]]: the wielding of the power of [[Stasis]], an ability directly linked to the Darkness. Though Zavala understood the logic of wielding Stasis as akin to "fighting fire with fire", he nonetheless believed that the Guardians cannot make compromises with the Darkness, even though its power proved essential in defeating the House of Salvation and their leader, [[Eramis]]. As a result, Zavala made the policy that banned Guardians into wielding Stasis. However, many Guardians disagreed with this ban, believing that in order to prevent another Collapse and save their home, they must be willing to go beyond what the Light's abilities can provide. As such, despite the ban becoming official, Zavala couldn't enforce it as there were already too many Guardians learning how to master Stasis, rendering the ban moot. Ikora Rey, likewise, was starting to understand that Stasis can be used as a tool in the Guardian's arsenal, much like the Light, with the Warlock Vanguard recalling that the Light isn't fundamentally good as the Warlords of old once wielded the Light to suit their selfish purposes. | Following the Hive resurgence on the Moon, the Vanguard would have to contend with a controversial decision made by its Guardians as they traveled to [[Europa]] and battled with the Fallen [[House of Salvation]]: the wielding of the power of [[Stasis]], an ability directly linked to the Darkness.

Sometime later, the Vanguard would represent the Last City after Cabal Empress [[Caiatl]] approached Commander Zavala and made him an offer: in exchange for the Guardians kneeling before her, they would join forces and combat the Black Fleet that had arrived in the Solar System. As expected, Zavala and the Guardians refused, thus forcing the Vanguard into a series of wargames against the Cabal, pitting them against Caiatl's strongest champions. After many long struggles, the Guardians under Zavala's leadership succeeded in slaying Caiatl's champions, forcing the Cabal Empress in agreeing to a ceasefire. However, as the treaty was about to be officiated, dissenters in Caitail's forces nearly assassinated Zavala but were thwarted thanks to [[Crow]], newly revealed to the former Awoken prince Uldren Sov, and Caitail herself who killed one of the would-be assassins. Despite this, the treaty was agreed upon, a ceasefire between the Cabal Empire and the Last City was now official, with | Sometime later, the Vanguard would represent the Last City after Cabal Empress [[Caiatl]] approached Commander Zavala and made him an offer: in exchange for the Guardians kneeling before her, they would join forces and combat the Black Fleet that had arrived in the Solar System.

In more recent times, the Vanguard would be forced to handle threats more closer to home. After the [[Endless Night]] blanketed over the Last City, Ikora Rey reached out to the one being that may be able to help: [[Mithrax]] of the [[House of Light]]. After finding him and saving his people from the Vex, the Warlock Vanguard offered the Sacred Splicer and his House sanctuary within the Last City, to which the Light Kell gratefully agreed. However, this decision, without the consent of the Consensus, angered the Factions, which only fueled the suspicions and doubts they had towards the Vanguard's overall effectiveness and decisions. This ultimately led to an increase in tension within the Last City. Though Ikora Rey and the Guardians believed that peace and cooperation with the House of Light could one day end the violence between humanity and eliksni, others were not so quick to forget the past and look towards the future. To add fuel to the fire, Lakshmi-2, who once was cautiously optimistic about the Vanguard's alliance with the House of Light, began to make public broadcasts denouncing their alliance, spreading fear amongst the Last City's populace. This ultimately led a paranoia-induced mob to ransack the [[Eliksni Quarter]]s but despite this tragedy, both Mithrax and Ikora refuse to forsake their alliance, with the Warlock Vanguard growing increasingly angered by Lakshmi's fearmongering. | In more recent times, the Vanguard would be forced to handle threats more closer to home.

Resolving to stop the Witch Queen's plan, Ikora would take a calcified worm the Guardian had collected during their investigations in [[Savathûn's Throne World]] and would discover a shocking revelation: using her Worm Familiar, The Witness had lied to Savathûn during her time as her previous self, Sathona, tricking her into leading her siblings into the oceans of Fundament, which resulted in their pact with the Worms Gods and the rise of the Hive species. The Witness did this because the Traveler was poised to uplift the Krill species and sought to claim them first. Ikora shared this secret with the Guardian and tasked them to use this truth to help them in destabilizing Savathûn, thereby undoing her spell to seal away the Traveler within her Throne World. After a grueling battle against the Lightbearing Witch Queen, the Guardian succeeded in defeating Savathûn and saving the Traveler, though her Ghost, [[Immaru]], would escape. Despite taking it as a victory, the Guardian would nonetheless state that humanity must be prepared for The Witness's return. | Resolving to stop the Witch Queen's plan, Ikora would take a calcified worm the Guardian had collected during their investigations in [[Savathûn's Throne World]] and would discover a shocking revelation: using her Worm Familiar, The Witness had lied to Savathûn during her time as her previous self, Sathona, tricking her into leading her siblings into the oceans of Fundament, which resulted in their pact with the Worms Gods and the rise of the Hive species.
