UserWiki:Dante the Ghost

Real life information
Greetings! My name is Dante. I am an admin and bureaucrat of the Destinypedia wiki. I had owned the Discord of this wiki, formerly hosted by its creator User:Spartacus, now managed by User:Arcmind-1. If you have any questions about this wiki's operation please do not hesitate to contact me or another admin.

A little about myself. I joined Destinypedia in May of 2016, right around when The Taken King had dropped earlier in 2015. My reasons for joining this wiki were simple, at the time -- the Strike walkthroughs were either low-information or nonexistent. I was determined to change that, and so I did. This single-mindedness led me to touch nearly every mainspace page (e.g. article) on the wiki.

Unfortunately I had to stop playing Destiny right around the time Rise of Iron dropped in late 2016, both because I used my brother's PS3 and my brother's grades were failing and parents restricted it permanently. But I stayed on in spite of this, continuing to edit and add onto the wiki. My greatest achievements are single-handedly uploading nearly all of the Rise of Iron Grimoire and beginning the overhaul of my now favorite page, Destinypedia's Books of Sorrow Cliff Notes, among other Hive-related pages.

After a brief dropout in late 2017 because of Destiny 2's release, I continued to edit, mainly old stuff but also keeping an eye on the new. For most of 2018 until July I had been absent from the wiki and occasionally dropping bye to make a few edits on my Watched pages. I did not approve of Curse of Osiris but found Warmind to be an excellent breath of air, in spite of... lackluster storytelling and content; and, of course, fan backlash. I am contemplating buying Destiny 2 once Forsaken drops, just to see how it'll live up.

As of post-Forsaken I have decided I won't be playing D2 because I have IRL responsibilities, but I'll edit and read the lore as often as I can. I may eventually buy Destiny 2, but my real heart belongs to the original Destiny game.

"He is a funny little Ghost, to be sure. Loves to hang out around that Cabal defector and the Ghostless Exo while doing his work, exchanging gossip and news, and sharing the latest things he's done. But he gets the job done."

- Cayde-6

Dante the Ghost is a Ghost in service to the Last City and the Vanguard.

Beginnings
"Of all my years as a Guardian, and as a Vanguard, I have never seen a Ghost so chatty before. Maybe it's because he never goes far from the City, where the Light is strong. At least he makes himself useful."

- Ikora Rey

First Vault of Glass raid
"Whatever he does, there is always good that comes out of it. But suffice it to say Eris is the only person who can scare him into silence."

- Commander Zavala

Return to the City
"Little Light, why do you continue your futile attempts to "sneak up" upon me? I do not need eyes to see that you are there, pressing against me like the memories of my past. Is there something in common we share that makes you seek me ceaselessly? Have you got some hopeless notion of Choosing me when I have already lost so much? Tell me, little Ghost, why do you haunt me so?"

- Eris Morn

Unlikely Friendship
"Well, I must say he is quite the tidy Ghost I've ever met, which is saying something in of itself as he's unPaired. Now, if I can get him to stay still long enough to help me sort through these golden Engrams from the Reef..."

- Master Rahool
