The '''Speaker'''<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MbUCkGWkiE#t=294 Destiny Walkthrough Part 3 - LIVE - EXPLORING THE TOWER (Destiny Gameplay Alpha PS4)]</ref> is a [[Warlock]] within the [[Last City]]. He is a very old Guardian, having lived as far back as the earliest days of the City.<ref name = "Osiris">'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies/Osiris#Osiris|Osiris]]''</ref> He apparently acts as an advisor to the [[Guardian]]s,<ref name="Bungie Commentary">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3G3V5PCJbk '''Building the Destiny E3 Reveal''' — ''Bungie Commentary'']</ref> even adopting the Titan [[Saint-14]] as his own son.<ref name= "Saint-14">'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies/Legends_%26_Mysteries#Legend:_Saint-14|Legends: Saint-14]]''</ref> 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.<ref name = "Osiris"/> For this reason, the [[Cult of Osiris]] does not think favorably of the Speaker.

The Guardian learned from the strange Exo that the [[Black Garden]] was connected to the Vex and contained a threat to the City which prevented the Traveler from healing. The Guardian would require the aid of the Awoken in the Reef to find and enter the Black Garden. Concerned about the Vex and previous rumors about the Darkness that resided in the heart of the Black Garden, the Speaker allowed the Guardian to pursue this quest.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities/Story:_Venus,_Ishtar_Sink#A_Stranger.27s_Call|A Stranger's Call]]''</ref> He congratulated the Guardian after they killed the Vex Gate Lord [[Zydron, Gate Lord|Zydron]] in order to acquire its eye to access the Black Garden. However he warned them that despite Queen [[Mara Sov]]'s assistance, she would likely have an agenda of her own and was not to be fully trusted.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities/Story:_Venus,_Ishtar_Sink#Eye_of_a_Gate_Lord|Eye of a Gate Lord]]''</ref> The Guardian fought their way into the Black Garden and discovered the [[Black Heart]] at the center. They destroyed it, bringing the Black Garden back into reality on [[Mars]], which enabled Light to return to the Traveler. The Speaker summoned the Guardian back to the Tower, where he hosted a celebration for this great victory over the Darkness. Addressing the Vanguard, dozens of Guardians, and the citizens of the Last City, the Speaker proclaimed that they no longer had to fear and cower before the forces of the Darkness. The Speaker then met privately with the Guardian in his Observatory, noting that he had faith in the Tower, the Vanguard, the City, and in them while the Traveler remained silent. He thanked them for all that they had done for the City and all that they would do in the future.<ref>
