The Guardian

Line 433:

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 advantage 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 detach 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 necessary in order to do what's needed.

In Season of the Hunt, a conflicted side of the Guardian was shown after discovering their old foe, Uldren Sov, had returned and was now a Guardian. Though Uldren had no memory of his past life, as he went by the name Crow, and possessed the Light with him, the Guardian felt uneasy when in his presence, clearly remembering his role in Cayde's death. Nonetheless, the Guardian worked with Crow in combating the Hive of Xivu Arath and would develop a respectful partnership with Crow. Enough so that the Guardian grew dissatisfied with seeing Crow forced to work under the Spider. After completing their bargain with the Spider, the Guardian managed to use the mob boss' own hubris against him, getting the Fallen to free Crow. After Crow asked why they chose to free him, the Guardian simply replied because he was a Guardian, showing that they have accepted Crow as a Lightbearer, fellow Guardian and possibly managed to forgive him for his past life's crimes. This shows that the Guardian was able to gain closure for what happened to Cayde and not let the past dictate future decisions, as they see Crow as a different person to Uldren Sov. They would even help hide his identity from the Vanguard, namely Zavala and Ikora, during the Season of the Chosen.

Similarly, in Season of the Splicer, the Guardian showed support towards Mithrax and the House of Light, hoping that their cooperation would end or at least lessen the violence between humanity and the Fallen. The Guardian would train in earnest under Mithrax in becoming a Sacred Splicer to save the Last City but showed a measure of uneasiness with the political situation brewing in the Last City as Lakshmi-2 spreads fear against the House of Light. Though they didn't want to alienate Mithrax and his House, they didn't want to fight against a City faction either.

Ultimately, the Guardian would side with Mithrax and Ikora in their hopes if a unified tomorrow over siding with Lakshmi's paranoid fears, protecting the eliksni refugees from the Vex when the War Cult's leader attempted to use a Vex portal on the House of Light.
