Despite the key role Ghosts play in the strength of the Lucent Brood, they generally receive little respect from their Lightbearers, in contrast as to how Guardians generally treat their Ghosts as friends and confidants. The Lightbearer [[Ubartu-ana]] treated his Ghost with contempt and suspicion, and named them [[Krill]] as an insulting comparison to the ''"small and useless"'' proto-Hive species. Krill's discovery of [[Lucent Moths]] was later credited to Ubartu-ana.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/02/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Lucent Tales#Krill|Krill]]''</ref> The Hive Ghost [[Specter]] felt that ''"Hive prefer talking to their own and don't respond to things—even things that bring them back from the dead,"'' and assumed their partner, [[Nabenki]], had fallen ill when they began behaving more respectfully towards them.<ref name='Specter'/> | Despite the key role Ghosts play in the strength of the Lucent Brood, they generally receive little respect from their Lightbearers, in contrast as to how Guardians generally treat their Ghosts as friends and confidants.

This attitude is not without exceptions, as seen most notably with Savathûn and her Ghost [[Immaru]], who considered each other friends and equals.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/02/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Lucent Tales#Immaru|Immaru]]''</ref> Furthermore, Immaru's status as First Ghost gives him command authority over the Lucent Hive, even after Savathûn's death, and he can frequently be heard giving orders to Hive soldiers during patrols in [[Savathûn's Throne World]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/02/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]]''</ref> | This attitude is not without exceptions, as seen most notably with Savathûn and her Ghost [[Immaru]], who considered each other friends and equals.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/02/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Lucent Tales#Immaru|Immaru]]''</ref> Furthermore, Immaru's status as First Ghost gives him command authority over the Lucent Hive, even after Savathûn's death, and he can frequently be heard giving orders to Hive soldiers during patrols in [[Savathûn's Throne World]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/02/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]]''</ref> However, Immaru's orders are not entirely absolute as the Lucent Hive will carry out any order the Witch Queen had given them even if it means going against any current command Immaru attempts to give, such as standing down during his tenuous alliance with the Guardians. | ||
Another notable distinction of the Lucent Brood is their willingness to use methods and techniques that the rest of the contemporary Hive species views as heretical, unsurprising given how they already wield the Light. This includes necromancy that they had learned from members of the Grasp of Nokris who joined the Witch Queen. | Another notable distinction of the Lucent Brood is their willingness to use methods and techniques that the rest of the contemporary Hive species views as heretical, unsurprising given how they already wield the Light.
