Shayura is a Guardian who participated in a mission to Old Chicago in pursuit of an unknown entity. They were one of the few survivors of the mission alongside Aisha and Reed-7. While being debriefed about the mission, Shayura noted that in all of their studies of the enemies of the Light they had never read about anything like the creature which had hunted them.

Biography

During the Red War, when Ghaul caged the Travelers light, Shayura and her fireteam where currently hunting an unknown creature in the catacombs of Old Chicago. Later, she was stationed on Titan, and faced the Hive there. Shayura fought a Knight that continuously resurrected itself, presumably Takul-Dar. Herself being lightless, the experience left her deeply traumatized.

During the Pyramids Arrival, Shayura came under heavy stress, mostly in relation to Deputy Commander Sloanes refusal to leave Titan and a fear of losing her Light again. Consequently, she frequently came into conflict with her friend Aisha. This came to a head when Shayura experienced a traumatic flashback during the Trials of Osiris, resulting in her repeatedly killing an opponent, Leitka. She became wracked by guilt and began to question her worth as a Guardian. This anxiety turned into conviction with the Reformation of the Traveler, where she decided to hunt those who would turn away from the Light.

She would soon have many targets as the use of Stasis became more widespread. At a later point, she had seemingly caused multiple final deaths, and during a Trials match with her fireteam she tried to do so again to an opponent who used Stasis. She was however stopped by Aisha, who was using Stasis as well. Shayura was then imprisoned by the Vanguard.

During the Endless Night, Shayura apparently escaped containment. Disillusioned by the Vanguards willingness to make peace with enemies, and seeing her old fireteam as traitors, she began to work alone, hunting anyone she deemed an agent of the Darkness. On Venus, in one of her attacks, she killed a Hunter, his Ghost and an Eliksni non-combatant of the House of Light.
