When the [[Red Legion]] assaulted the Last City at the dawn of the [[Red War]], Banshee-44 came across the body of [[Voyc, Shadow of the Wilds]], who had perished in an attempt to assassinate [[Dominus Ghaul]] during the assault at the behest of [[Emperor Calus]].

He recovered [[Leviathan's Breath]] from the [[Psion]]'s body, recognizing the weapon from numerous legends he had heard of in his occupation as a gunsmith. With the [[Combat Bow|bow]] in hand, Banshee successfully evacuated from the Tower as it fell to the Cabal.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Leviathan's Breath]]''</ref> The Vanguard was able to liberate the Last City and set up a new command center at the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|New Tower]]. Banshee returned and set up a workshop, continuing to offer his services as a gunsmith to the Guardians and aiding them in upgrading their weapons. | ||
When Lord [[Shaxx]] instituted a new ranking system in the [[Crucible]], Banshee began workshopping ideas for a prototype weapon to arm one of the top-ranked contenders with. While watching one match, Banshee noticed a Exo [[Titan (class)|Titan]] who scored numerous double kills and was informed by Shaxx that the Guardian was [[Redrix-3]]. As Redrix rose in the ranks of the Crucible, his skill with [[Pulse rifle|pulse rifles]] inspired other Guardians and resulted in Banshee being unable to keep up with all the new orders for weapons of that type. This inspired Banshee to begin construction on a pulse rifle, but he asked Shaxx to continue testing Redrix's skills in the Crucible. After Redrix passed his tests, Banshee and Shaxx provided him with [[Redrix's Claymore]]. Banshee subsequently began producing a successor to the weapon, which he dubbed [[Redrix's Broadsword]], which would be awarded to Guardians who followed in Redrix's footsteps in the Crucible.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Forging the Broadsword]]''</ref> | When Lord [[Shaxx]] instituted a new ranking system in the [[Crucible]], Banshee began workshopping ideas for a prototype weapon to arm one of the top-ranked contenders with.

This is likely an unfortunate by-product of him having been rebooted so many times, as excessive memory wipes are known to degrade an Exo's mind. | ||
Despite his memory issues, Banshee | Despite his memory issues, Banshee is extremely dedicated to the people of the Tower and the Last City, regarding them as his true home and is willing to fight and die to defend it. He views his work arming Guardians for their fight as the highest possible calling he could answer to help safeguard humanity. Banshee dislikes those who are driven by selfishness or greed and believes that only the good are worth helping.<ref name="LOS"/> | ||
In a slice of almost fourth-wall broaching humor, Banshee shows an awareness of the absurdity of Guardians repeatedly bringing him scraps and dismantled parts of guns, in the hopes he can piece together a new weapon to their liking. Oftentimes the products of his work don't match their specification, but they keep returning to the storied gunsmith for hopeful new creations<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/something-new</ref>. | |||
