===''Destiny''===

====A Guardian Rises====

Centuries after the Collapse, the Guardian was found and resurrected by a lone [[Ghost (Little Light)|Ghost]] searching the [[Cosmodrome]], but before Ghost could explain what had happened, he was interrupted by the roars of a [[Fallen]] [[Captain]] who had been tracking him. Ghost then led the Guardian into The Wall and helped them find their first weapon—a battered, ancient [[Khvostov 7G-02]]. After foraging for more gear, the Guardian kills a Fallen [[House of Devils|Devil]] [[Captain]] named [[Rahn]], and escapes in an [[Arcadia]]-class [[jumpship]] revived by Ghost just as [[Riksis]] emerges. As the Guardian departs, the Fallen vainly attempt to shoot it down, and a [[Exo Stranger|mysterious stranger]] looks on as the Guardian departs.

====Defending Earth====

The Guardian gets acquainted with the various [[Tower]] residents including the three [[Vanguard]] leaders, the [[Gunsmith]], [[Master Rahool]] and the [[Xander 99-40|Bounty Tracker]], as well as the [[Postmaster]] and the Tower [[Shipwright]] who helps repair their ship. Along the way they visit other Tower residents of lesser importance, including the three [[Faction]] leaders and [[Tess Everis]].

===''Forsaken''===

Alongside [[Cayde-6]], the Guardian traveled to the Reef in light of civil unrest and a breakout from the [[Prison of Elders]].<ref>[https://www.polygon.com/2018/6/5/17418940/destiny-2-forsaken-release-date-year-2 '''Polygon''' - ''Destiny 2: Forsaken arrives Sept. 4, here's our first look'']</ref>

The Guardian and their fireteam are sent into the Keep of Voices to face off against the monster at the heart of the Dreaming City in the [[Last Wish]] [[raid]]. During this raid, they fight and save [[Kalli, the Corrupted]] and [[Shuro Chi, the Corrupted]], freeing the Techeuns from the Taken corruption. They also battle against [[Morgeth, the Spirekeeper]], killing the colossal Ogre. Finally, the fireteam encountered and fought [[Riven of a Thousand Voices]], slaying the Taken [[Ahamkara]] and purifying her heart. Their actions would do more harm than good, however, as Riven's death inadvertently granted a final wish, plunging the Dreaming City into a Taken curse.

During the first week of the curse, the Hive began raiding the Dreaming City, stealing artifacts from the Awoken. The Guardian is sent to find and help an injured [[Corsair]] named [[Amrita Vae]]. After returning the first artifact, Amrita is taken by her allies to get medical help. The Guardian continues searching for the artifacts, battling the Hive and Taken along the way, including another Taken [[Chimera]] known as [[Xaras, Greed of Xivu Arath]].

===''Beyond Light''===

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 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 blasphemous rebellion against their past of worshiping the Great Machine in order to pursue its polar opposite, the [[Ziggurat]] and the Darkness as a whole, with the help of the [[Exo Stranger]]: Elsie Bray, who has returned to assist the Guardian once again after seven years. During their journey on Europa, the Guardian dispatches Phylaks, Praksis, then the Kell of Darkness herself, before her death, she is frozen by the powers of Stasis and on frozen reaching for the Europan Pyramid.

After killing Kidris, who was attempting to gain leadership of House Salvation, Elsie receives an alert that the birthplace of the Exos, the [[Deep Stone Crypt]], has been breached. The Guardian, along with 5 other guardians, [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|infiltrate the ancient laboratory]] and kill [[Atraks-1, Fallen Exo|Atraks-1]], a member of Eramis' council who converted herself into an exo. Before killing the Fallen Exo, she reawakens the mercenary, Taniks, the Scarred who then boards the orbital station [[Morning Star]]. After crashing the space station on Europa, preventing its destruction, the fireteam then finally put Taniks to rest for good. The Guardian then goes to the underground labrstory of BrayTech Exoscience where they meet the exomind of Clovis Bray 1st, where he enlists their help in defending his frame with the promise of forging the legendary sword, [[The Lament]]. After defending Clovis from the Vex, he gives the Guardian the sword as a token of gratitude.

===''Season of the Chosen''===

Shortly after defeating the High Celebrant and freeing Crow from the Spider, The Guardian is contacted by Zavala who informs them of the arrival of [[Empress Caiatl]] and the failed peace talks between the [[Cabal]] and the [[Guardians]] and is tasked with travelling to [[Nessus]] to spearhead the offensive against the [[Imperial Cabal]]. From there, an all out war of proving ensues against Caiatl and her empire with the Guardian as the City's champion. During this time, a mysterious ship known as the [[Glykon Volatus]] would be discovered and the Guardian would be tasked to investigate. Investiging further, they would discover the remnants of a horrific and equally mysterious ritual to commune with the Darkness led by [[Emperor Calus]]. The ritual went horribly awry; leaving the ship derelict, many Cabal and a [[Katabasis|Guardian shadow]] dead, and [[Locus of Communion|a ravenous beast]] left to roam the ship. Once this beast was vanquished by the Guardian, they'd return to the fight against Caiatl. However as the war continued, the Guardian began observing the internal arguments of the City's leadership, with Zavala and Crow wishing for peace while Saladin and Osiris sought regicide and a complete extinction of the Cabal.

===''Season of the Splicer''===

====The Lost Splicer====

While the [[Vanguard]] preoccupied themselves with the Cabal, the [[Vex]] launched a simulation upon the [[Last City]] to plunge them into an [[Endless Night]] where the sun did not rise. While it was unclear how the Vex managed to power their simulation, [[Ikora]] believed that the Vex found a way to turn their energy against them and enlisted the Guardian to seek the aid of the [[Eliksni]] who had better understanding of machines. Ikora urged the Guardian to find [[Mithrax, Kell of Light]] as he was among the last of the [[Sacred Splicer]]s, who communed with machines, and to find him before the Vex do as he was their best and only hope.

====Path of the Splicer====

Later, the Guardian alongside [[Osiris]] and [[Lakshmi-2]] welcomed Mithrax and his House into encampment site named [[Eliksni Quarter]]. Mithrax expressed his gratitude towards Ikora for granting this gift, but Lakshmi claimed it was everyone within the City who afforded them the sanctuary. The Guardian listened as they heard Lakshmi speak with a passive aggressive tone. Mithrax requested that his House required modifications for Ether production, while Lakshmi left the scene saying she will submit the proposal to Ikora. Osiris then interjected privately and claimed tensions were high within the City and hope their stay would be eventful. Later, the Guardian visited the [[Eliksni Wing]] within the [[H.E.L.M.]] and listened to a message from the [[Uldren|Crow]] who wished they would give the Eliksni a chance. Mithrax also greeted the Guardian from the [[Splicer Servitor (Light)|Splicer Servitor]] and desired to aid them in combating the Vex by preparing a Splicer Gauntlet for them. He explained that the [[Ether]] it pulled from defeated enemies will help them override the Vex signals and enter into their domain. He asked the Guardian to start their journey on Europa and discover the secrets fuelling the Endless Night.
