During the restoration of the Traveler, Mercury, Mars, Io, and Titan all vanish from the Sol System due to an unknown weapon used by the Black Fleet. The Vanguard then receive a transmission from Jupiter's Moon, Europa from the wanted fugitive, Variks, the Loyal, warning that "Darkness walks among us."

The Vanguard then receive a transmission from Jupiter's Moon, Europa from the wanted fugitive, Variks, the Loyal, warning that "Darkness walks among us." The Guardian is then sent to Europa, only to find an active Pyramid ship, similar to the design of the Luna Pyramid, floating on the icy surface. Upon arrival and rescuing Variks from a new Fallen Kell, the Guardian is beckoned by the Darkness once more, this time with them offering gifts in the form of [[Stasis]], a powerful dark ice-like element never seen before. During this time they also become acquainted with the [[House of Salvation]] and their ruling house: [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]], [[Phylaks, the Warrior]], [[Praksis, the Technocrat]], and [[Kridis, Dark Priestess]], who lead their house in a blastphemous rebellion against their past of worshiping the Great Machine in order to pursue its polar opposite, the [[Ziggurat]] and the Darkness as a whole. The Guardian is tasked by the returned Elsie Bray and Variks to bring down the ruling house of the House of Salvation and stop them from harnessing the Darkness.

The Guardian has demonstrated humility and bravery, often fighting the [[Solar System]]'s enemies without question nor hesitation. Like other Guardians, The Guardian is very silent, only speaking when the situation deems it necessary. Cayde-6 once joked that the Guardian was the "strong, silent type" of hero. They also put high regard and value in those they consider as friends, such as dragging their Ghost away from Ghaul and shielding him with their body (as well as completely losing hope when he falls off the ship), giving various figures who have aided them gifts during the Dawning (including the Vanguard, Banshee-44, and Asher Mir), and personally seeking justice for Cayde-6's death.

A much darker side of The Guardian is revealed in ''Forsaken''. First off, The Guardian is shown to be vengeful, as they became determined to kill not just Uldren Sov but the entire Scorn faction just for their hand in Cayde's death. They are also shown to be somewhat unscrupulous, as they were willing to openly disobey the Vanguard and work with the likes of the Spider in pursuit of the aforementioned goal. Although likely more unintentional, they were shown to be either oblivious or insensitive during this quest for vengeance; blinded by revenge, they didn't show regard for Ghost's discomfort during the entirety of the ordeal, as well as going through with Uldren's execution even with the knowledge of what he had endured for the sake of his sister. However, despite going through with the execution, they did take responsibility for their actions by returning to the Vanguard once their mission was complete.

Once Beyond Light is released, the Guardian further shows their rebellion by openly communing with the Darkness and wielding its power, something only [[Toland, the Shattered]], an exiled mad Warlock, had done before. At this point the Guardian has all but rejected the limiting ways of the Vanguard and follows in Toland's footsteps in the idealology that the Last City needs any hand up it can get to win and to destroy all possible threats before they become a problem. During the events of Beyond Light the Ghost begins to tell his Guardian his fear of them and how easily they can detatch all feelings and mercy to enemies and even seems to enjoy it. Despite their Ghost's worries and fear, the Guardian continues regardless, seeing it as neccessary in order to do what's needed.
