The Stranger appears to be working for an unknown faction who know more about the war against the [[Darkness]] than [[Guardian]]s do.<ref name="Call"/> She possesses much technology that even Ghosts don't fully understand; she is capable of appearing and disappearing out of reality,<ref name="Stranger"/><ref name="Call"/><ref name="Garden">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Black Garden]]''</ref> and her [[The Stranger's Rifle|weapon]] has parts that "shouldn't yet exist."<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [[The Stranger's Rifle]]''</ref> Those who have seen her are divided on who she is: some claim she is the remains of a forgotten Exo squadron fighting a long ago war while others believe her intervention has saved their lives.

Six years after her last appearance, the Stranger reemerged on [[Europa]] shortly after a [[Pyramid (Europa)|Pyramid]] had arrived there, along with [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]] and her [[House of Salvation]]. She allied with [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]] and [[Eris Morn]] after the two were also drawn to the moon.{{citation needed}}

In the mission [[A Stranger's Call]], she was talking to an unknown person or group of persons, whose identity has yet to be revealed. Additionally, according to the flavor text of the last quest step in the "Not Forged From the Light" quest, [[Praedyth]] or his Ghost may have seen her at some point. This is implied to have been a recurring occurrence.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/classified-30 Talk to Lakshmi-2]''</ref> While she is completely absent in the Taken King campaign, she plays a pivotal role in investigating the odd fate of Praedyth and the effects [[Oryx]] brought to the Vex. Eventually her rifle, not worn but enhanced by time itself, surfaces in the hands of the [[Future War Cult]] researchers as [[No Time to Explain]], who give it to the Guardian. With contradictory clues on the rifle's origin, the truth behind it may never be known.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary_Weapons#No_Time_To_Explain|No Time To Explain]]''</ref>
