After [[The Almighty]] was deactivated, [[The Consul]] had become enraged with Ghaul. He released the Speaker against the wishes of the Dominus, and subsequently crushed his mask, frustrated that Ghaul would heed the Speaker's advice over his own. The Speaker's fate after being released from the restraints is unclear, but could be presumed that he succumbed to his injuries. Following Ghaul's defeat, [[Ghost]] notes that although the Speaker is gone, he was not the first to hold the title, and may not be the last.

==Personality and Traits==
Calm, visionary, wise and compassionate are among the best words to describe the Speaker. The Speaker wholly believes in the Traveler as the savior of humanity in its darkest hour and never doubted in its decision to create the Guardians to protect people in its place. For this reason, the Speaker looks to guide Guardians on the right path in protecting the Last City from the forces of the Darkness. He becomes something of a mentor to some to even a father figure to the Guardians, Saint-14 in particular, whom the Speaker loved like a son.
The Speaker proved his leadership capabilities during his younger years, gathering many survivors and Guardians to lay the foundation of the Last City for the purpose in providing a safe haven for the survivors of the Collapse. As he became the leader of the Consensus, the Speaker pressed for unity amongst the factions and citizens. For this, the Speaker will not stand for any voice or force that seeks to topple the order in the Last City or speak of the Darkness in any way other than a force to defeat. Perhaps the only time he lost his calm demeanor was during his arguments with his former student Osiris. The Speaker resented how Osiris began to question the purpose of the Guardians and more so on the nature of the Traveler. In addition, he was repulsed with the morbid warnings of the Hive spoken by Eris Morn.
There were times when the Speaker would hold a grudge, which he did infamously with Osiris. At first, they were friends as teacher and student but the growing debate on the Light, Darkness and of the Vex threat did their arguments grow more heated and bitter. When Osiris's work began to be distributed through the City as "holy texts" and cause divisions between the Guardians, did the Speaker believe that enough was enough. The Speaker denounced Osiris as a heretic, demonized his work and exiled him from the Last City. As as result, the Cult of Osiris do not have a high opinion of the Speaker. However, the Speaker was not above making attempts to make amends as he sent messages to Osiris to speak with him but unfortunately, none reached him.
Though the Speaker is aware that by the time the Guardian rises, times were starting to become bleak and is saddened at the loss of so many Guardians and of the dwindling hope for the system. However, thanks to the Guardian's successes throughout the system did he feel joy at the Last City being at peace and was ever thankful that they had taught him to hope again.
When the Red Legion invaded the Last City and was personally captured and brought before Dominus Ghaul, did the Speaker prove to be strong-willed and defiant. Even when brutally threatened and tortured by the Dominus, the Speaker remained faithful to the Light and of the hope that the Guardians will prevail. However, his time as a prisoner to Ghaul led to unique interactions, almost as a teacher of sorts, speaking of how the Traveler chose humanity and what it meant to be a Guardian. In time, the Speaker admitted that while he may speak ''for'' the Traveler, he never said that it spoken to him. Nonetheless, his belief in the Light, the Traveler and the Guardians was validated when they succeeded in defeating the Red Legion, destroying Ghaul forever, liberating the Last City and awakening the Traveler.
