Speaker

The Speaker is an enigmatic figure within the Last City. He is very old, having lived as far back as the earliest days of the City. He apparently acts as an adviser to the Guardians, even adopting the Titan Saint-14 as his own son. The Speaker at one time also had an apprentice, Osiris, but in the end they became bitter rivals over their differences in philosophy, and eventually Osiris was exiled from the City. For this reason, the Cult of Osiris does not think favorably of the Speaker.

The Speaker has a study in the North tower, where he sells legendary class items and emblems in exchange for Motes of Light. The Speaker will also exchange high-level upgrade materials.
