Shin's parents were killed by [[Dreg]]s when he was very young, leaving him only vague memories of them and a small spark of light he thought of as their souls. He was swiftly adopted by another man in their refugee group, which soon settled in the heart of a snowy mountain forest and established the town of [[Palamon]] instead of continuing the long and dangerous journey to [[The Last City]]. The town was eventually governed by Magistrate [[Loken]], who Shin viewed as a good but broken man who gave into becoming a tyrannical ruler after losing too much.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary_Weapons#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Last_Word|Ghost Fragment: The Last Word]]''</ref> One day Shin watched a stranger walk slowly into town from the south and gathered with his father and the rest of the townsfolk as they waited for Loken to arrive and greet the newcomer.

The Guardian's [[Ghost]] scanned Shin, but his attention quickly focused on the Guardian's [[Hand cannon|revolver]] and he began imagining all the adventures the Guardian had gone on while wielding it. The Guardian knelt before Shin and offered him the weapon, and after a quick glance back at his nervous father and the other townsfolk Shin respectfully took the weapon and held it in awe.

During the next several months Shin studied the way Jaren moved and acted and eventually decided that there was something about him that made him "more" than everyone else in Palamon. However, Jaren had earned the ire of Loken by standing up to his corruption and eventually summoned the Guardian and the rest of the town in a courtyard where he declared that this was his town and had nine of his men aim weapons at Jaren. Shin became nervous and pleaded with his father to intervene, but his father remained silent and simply held onto Shin tightly to make sure he did not run into the middle of the confrontation. Looking back at Jaren, Shin noticed the Guardian's hand resting near the Last Word and understood what was about to happen, and that his father and the rest of the town knew as well. Jaren drew the Last Word faster than lightning and placed one shot between Loken's eyes, which caused the magistrate's men to quickly surrender and freed Palamon from tyranny.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/The_City#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Dark_Age_2|Ghost Fragment: The Dark Age 2]]''</ref> | |||
Over the next few years Jaren became Palamon's protector alongside its hunters. After [[Fallen]] were spotted near the town the Guardian took the three best hunters with him to track them down. The next day, Shin witnessed a new stranger named [[Dredgen Yor]] enter the town and was fascinated by him as well, although he noted that Yor was cold and distant unlike Jaren and simply thought him to be a sad and damaged man. Three days after arriving in Palamon, Yor massacred its inhabitants, including Shin's adopted father, and burned the town to the ground. Shin was left alone in the smoke and ashes and watched in terror as Yor approached him, but the fallen Guardian simply smiled at him before leaving.<ref name="TLW4">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary_Weapons#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Last_Word_4|Ghost Fragment: The Last Word 4]]''</ref> When Jaren and the other hunters returned, Shin told them all that had happened and together the five of them decided to pursue Yor and end his murderous rampage.
