I am Lord Spectrus, commander-in-chief of my enigmatic task force, the Spectral Guardians. It is highly unlikely that you will ever encounter me or my field operatives ever in your lifetime. We are the shadows that strike from the dark, eliminating threats before the City even knows about them. We don't receive any recognition for our actions, yet we keep quietly protecting the City in the wilds. We lend our support to Dead Orbit, of which only the current Arach knows of our existence. And only the highest ranking Vanguard lieutenants know of us. The reason we give our support to Dead Orbit, is because survival is our primary objective, and Dead Orbit's key focus is protecting and readying humanity from any superior threat. We pledge that we will lay down our lives to stop humanity falling into the dark depths of extinction. The few people who have found out about us claim we have a base in the Black Garden, guarded by modified Vex frames. Whether we do is yours to decide and yours to find out.

I founded the Spectral Guardians after the defeat of the Concordat at Bannerfall. I realized that, the people inside the City, as well as the creatures out, needed to be watched. We do not hide in the shadows. We embrace the shadows. We are the shadows. We are always watching, observing, analyzing. We travel out to the far reaches of the system, constantly watching and observing, and gathering information about our relentless enemies. We take out enemy supplies, sabotage convoys and take out high ranking commanders. Many a time, our intelligence has proved vital in neutralizing a deadly threat beyond the walls. Now you may be thinking, are the Hidden not the same as your organization? Truth be told, many of our agents were once members of the Hidden, but grew tired of simple surveillance, and wanted to be more ... active. We often have to make ... immoral choices out in the wilds. You may never find us, but if you do, ask yourself, do you have what it takes? To listen and not be listened to? To silence our enemies and be silent yourself? Devotion. Devotion to the Light is what we cherish in the Spectral Guardians. And we will see the Light through. Whatever the cost. We are the Shadows. Nos autem obumbratio. "Then he appeared out of nowhere. He just shot them all when I was an inch from death. He said that he was called Lord Spectrus and that was all I needed to know. Whoever that Titan was, he saved my life ". "Lord Spectrus ... there's nothing. Nothing has come up in the Vanguard files. I'm sorry, but are you sure you weren't dreaming?"
