* KickTheSonOfABitch: Her torture of a Hive Wizard could be seen as this.

->''"Listen! I am a Hunter, like you, and I made this armlet to help you in your hunts. Will you help me in mine?"''

A Hunter with memories of her original, pre-Guardian life. She is searching for her wife from her original lifetime and created a set of armlets to aide her in that end.

* AmnesiaMissedASpot: Gheleon believed that whatever secrets Felwinter knew were still accessible and tried to get him to jog his memory by taking him to Clovis Bray facilities.

* {{Troll}}: Pahanin liked to annoy Kabr with [[IncrediblyLamePun puns]].

A team of three Guardians who infiltrated the Vault of Glass on Venus, at which point things got... [[RetGone strange.]]

* WeaponOfChoice: Gheleon's Demise, the Iron Banner Scout Rifle in Year One.

* MoreDakka: Her WeaponOfChoice is the Machine Gun, meaning that the "Jolder's Hammer" weapon is more than just a namesake; it's a thorough dedication to her memory.

* WeaponOfChoice: Perun's Fire, the Iron Banner Fusion Rifle in Year One.

* WeaponOfChoice: Radegast's Fury, the Iron Banner Rocket Launcher in Year One, and Radegast's Blade, a sword which would be a...

* WeaponOfChoice: Skorri's Revenge, the Iron Banner Pulse Rifle in Year One.

* WeaponOfChoice: Silimar's Wrath, the Iron Banner Auto Rifle in Year One.

* WeaponOfChoice: Timur's Lash, the Iron Banner Hand Cannon in Year One.

* WeaponOfChoice: Super Good Advice, his customized [[MoreDakka bullethose]] of an HMG. In a weird way, it reflects his probable mindset, talking to assuage his fears of being alone, spraying out a lot of bullets at high fire rate at a moment's notice, making it a great weapon to have when panicking.

* WeaponOfChoice: Praedyth's Timepiece, a Pulse Rifle, and Praedyth's Revenge, a Sniper Rifle, both of which are now rewards in the Vault of Glass.

* WeaponOfChoice: The Last Word, a HandCannon with a striking resemblance to the archetypal Wild Western revolver.

* WeaponOfChoice: First an assault rifle called "Inferno," then a hand cannon. [[spoiler: That hand cannon was called "Rose," and had a few Knight bones stuck to it...]]

* AnAxeToGrind: The greatest of the Iron Lords wielded the mighty Iron Relic Axe, which was charged by solar cells within the blade to channel Solar light. The axe became synonymous with justice and humanity and became the universal symbol of the Iron Lords, whereas the wolves are the symbol of the Iron Banner. Players can wield this axe in Rise of Iron.

His Ghost was Guren.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: He was very fascinated by the Deathsong of Ir Yût, and joined the fireteam in the hopes of learning more about it.
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Contrary to what most believe, Toland isn't ''entirely'' gone. Though his physical body is dead, his spirit was trapped in the Ascendant Plane by Ir Yût. He has made attempts to contact Guardians in the living world, and even begun to build his own throne world. Strangely, Toland himself doesn't seem to be bothered too much by his state, and his main lament is that [[InsufferableGenius he can't go back to the Tower and taunt them with how right he was.]]
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Toland has been so warped by his exposure to the Hive and the sword-logic that he can't really see the world in any other way anymore. When the Guardians finally defeat Oryx in King's Fall, he can only yell at them in confused anger because they didn't act like the Hive would and set Oryx's Taken Light free, and then killed Oryx and left without taking his place, leaving the Taken King's throne empty and with no one to replace it. For his appearance in ''Forsaken'', he spends most of it berating the Young Wolf for not understanding the Sword Logic and how things work in the Ascendant Realm, and that they shouldn't be trusting him just because he's a friendly voice.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He clearly wasn't all there mentally, but was very intelligent and skilled at his job. Indeed, he's indicated to be the only Guardian who ever understood the Hive's sword-logic, and was able to weaponize it in the form of the Bad Juju pulse rifle. His knowledge of the Hive may have even saved him, in a manner of speaking, as his understanding of their lore meant that he was able to communicate with the Hive and his soul survived Ir Yût's Deathsong.
* DeathIsCheap: This was his belief, for Toland understood that the Hive knew how to manipulate death and rebirth and sought to understand it. Ultimately, his mind and soul survived his physical body's death.
* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: His research and knowledge of the Hive alongside Eris Morn's experiences in the Hellmouth are essentially what made The Young Wolf's victory over Crota in The Dark Below and later Oryx possible. The implication seems to be that before Toland, no one knew anything about the Ascendant Realm or Sword Logic.
* TheExile: He was kicked out the City due to his madness and obsession with the Hive.
* FriendlyEnemy: According to his entries in his journal, and his words after Ir Yût killed him, Toland was actually ''friendly'' toward the Hive, having delved so deep into their lore he was more concerned with learning from them than fighting them. Curiously, the Hive also seemed to be friendly toward him in turn, with Ir Yût engaging in conversation with Toland. However, the Hive have a very... ''warped'' definition of friendship, and Toland's conversation with Ir Yût resulted in his physical death and his soul being cast adrift in the Hive's various Ascendant Realms.
-->''I, too, am detached from my source. The charming Ir Yût made her introductions, and I was very pleased to meet her. We had a conversation, a little tête-à-Yût, a couple old wizards exchanging definitions.''
-->''I defined myself a friend. She defined for me the quiddity of death, and she sang the song of that fearful autonomy. Revelation, my friends, it does go down hard. The definition killed me. The killing redefined me.''
** In his brief appearance in ''Forsaken'', Toland points out that it's not wise to trust a voice just because it seems helpful and friendly. [[AffablyEvil Just because someone is pleasant doesn't mean that they're not going to horribly murder you.]] A ''friendly'' enemy is still ''your enemy.'' His dialogue in the Dreaming City indicates that he's hoping you'll be killed by the Hive or Taken in the Ascendant Challenges.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The other Guardians in the fireteam were more than a little creeped out by his antics, but kept him with the team because he knew so much about the Hive. Eriana-3 admitted that she found his fascination disturbing, but she was too hellbent on revenge to pass up his help. Vell Tarlowe told Omar Agah that he didn't view Toland as a teammate or someone to be trusted, he considered Toland a weapon to be used.
* GibberingGenius: It's clear he understood quite a bit about the Darkness and its place in the universe, but the way he went about explaining it is... less than coherent.
* GoodAllAlong: During the Deathbringer Exotic Quest, it's revealed that his ultimate goal was to co-opt Hive Concepts, such as the Ascendant Plane and The Sword Logic and remake them to reflect the will of Humanity. Fill them up with light and life to give mankind the strength to win against the Darkness.
* HearingVoices: He heard ''the Darkness'' speaking to him. It did not help with his sanity, though it may have been what kept his soul intact after his encounter with Ir Yût.
-->'''Eris:''' And how do you know this?\\
'''Toland:''' It was told to me.\\
'''Eris:''' By the Speaker?\\
'''Toland:''' By the Darkness itself.
* IgnoredExpert: He, along with Lord Shaxx, tried to warn the Vanguard not to send the army to retake the Moon.
* KeeperOfForbiddenKnowledge: He knew the Hive better than anyone. [[GoMadFromTheRevelation This may have been a bad thing]]. After all, the Tower doesn't exile Guardians for no reason...
* OhCrap: Has one of these moments upon encountering [[spoiler:Mara Sov]] in the Ascendant Realm. For all his work studying the Hive and their sword space, [[spoiler:Mara]] completely outclasses the Warlock and sends him running in fear.
* PowerOfTheVoid: He shows up prominently in the Voidwalker's version of "The Shard" mission, so it's very likely he specialized as a Voidwalker.
* SlasherSmile: A conversation he had with his Ghost, Guren, suggests he was prone to this.
-->'''Toland:''' I will tell them, but they will never understand. I'll greet them with a smile and welcome them in.\\
'''Guren:''' Yes, but don't smile.\\
'''Toland:''' Why not? A smile hides the true purpose of teeth.\\
'''Guren:''' [[TheUnsmile Yes, but not yours.]]
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: One of his lines on the Moon suggests he thinks ''very'' poorly of Vell Tarlowe for being first to die in the fireteam. It's understandable, really, considering he was supposed to be TheBigGuy and thus the designated tank but got mauled by Thralls before they even made it in.
* SpiritAdvisor: Attempted at least. He's trying to contact your Guardian from the Ascendant realm he's stuck in and help them out, but they can't hear his communications.
* TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow[=/=]GoMadFromTheRevelation: His delving into Hive lore and the nature of the Darkness pushed his mind to the breaking point. When he finally confronted the Hive as part of Eris' fireteam, he was more interested in talking to them than fighting them, and in doing so he sealed his fate... though from his perspective that's not so much a bad thing.
* TomeOfEldritchLore: Toland's journal is treated as this. After getting the schematics for Bad Juju, Banshee-44 gives it to Ikora Rey for "containment". Your Ghost gets to read through a copy of it given to you by Eris, although it's not clear if this is the entire journal, as it doesn't seem to contain the Bad Juju schematics.
* UncertainDoom: Eris was the only person to return from the Hellmouth, so Toland is believed dead by the Tower. It turns out that he is ''physically'' dead, but his soul remains in the Hive Ascendant Realms.
* TheVoice: [[spoiler:He speaks to you in the Dreaming City's Ascendant Plane, though he has no physical form aside from a wisp of light that reluctantly guides you. He's clearly annoyed at your presence and doesn't want to show the way around.]]
* WeaponOfChoice: Bad Juju, an Exotic Pulse Rifle built around the principles of the Hive's "sword logic." No one in the Tower apparently understands the logic behind how it functions and why it hungers for combat, but that seems to be because few people in the Tower can even grasp the Hive's sword-logic, and even if they do, they firmly reject it.
* YoureInsane: According to the Grimoire cards, his teammates believed he was.
-->'''Omar:''' He's mad.\\
'''Toland:''' [[InsultBackfire Perhaps]].
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:He calls out the Young Wolf for not assuming the mantle of Taken King after they killed Oryx, claiming that not only could they have ended the Taken threat then and there if they had done so, but by not doing so, they've unwittingly left the way open for Oryx's eventual return.]]

[[folder:Omar Agah]]
!!Omar Agah

A Hunter who was recruited by Eris Morn into Eriana-3's fireteam.
His Ghost was Karsys.
----

His Ghost's name was Vincent.

* ArtifactOfDoom: Thorn, and the replicas of Thorn that were created by other Guardians after him. It's implied that he was corrupted by Thorn after he grafted Hive bones [[spoiler:(the bones of Xyor's husband)]] onto its frame as a battle trophy.
* BullyingADragon: In Thorn 2, he's the Dragon being bullied by a bunch of bandits [[MuggingTheMonster trying to steal Thorn from him.]]
* DeathSeeker: Is strongly implied to have become this by the time of his death at Malphur's hand. After his death, Shin discovered that Yor hadn't even tried to reach for Thorn during their confrontation. Malphur ultimately came to the conclusion that [[ThanatosGambit Yor was planning to die]], and set up Shin to be filled with hatred and a desire for vengeance because only someone who could straddle the line between the altruism of the Light and the pure hatred and malice of the Dark would be able to create the Golden Gun and kill him.
* TheDreaded: His name is still remembered with disgust and shame.
* {{Expy}}: Dredgen Yor can be seen as an expy of Darth Vader since [[FallenHero they both fell from grace in a similar manner]] caused great massacres and mass murders, killed an important figure to someone(in Darth Vader's case... his own mentor, in Dredgen Yor's case, someone else's mentor) and was ultimately killed trying to convert someone to the Dark Side(Luke Skywalker and Shin Malphur) and both names are remembered in disgust
* FallenHero: He was once a heroic man, brimming with Light. Specifically, [[spoiler:Rezyl Azzir]]. Then he fell to the darkness, let his revolver become Thorn, massacred Palamon, and was shot dead by Shin Malphur.
-->'''Yor:''' Same meat. Same bone. But so very different.
* HeroicSacrifice: The Shadows of Yor view his fall as this, believing that he gave himself to the Darkness to find a way to harness its power and teach others to use that power without being tainted themselves. Shin Malphur also ultimately came to believe this.
* HeroKiller: Yor was responsible for killing several Guardians, including Jaren Ward and Pahanin.
* HopeCrusher: He admits to his Ghost that the only reason he even bothers doing good anymore is so that when he turns on those he helped and crushes them, their horror and despair will be all the sweeter. He even gave Shin Malphur the Last Word from Jaren's body so that the apprentice would have the hope of retribution that Yor could then crush.
-->'''Yor:''' Nothing dies like hope.
* MoralityPet: His Ghost, Vincent, whom Yor considered his best and last friend, served as his conscience, and tried to bring back toward the light. When it became apparent that he couldn't, Yor decided to "free" his Ghost from having to stay with him.
** KickTheMoralityPet: Yor also threatened to kill his Ghost if he didn't leave, and it's not clear if he did.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Dredgen Yor's eventual abandonment of his Ghost made sure that the next time he died, it'd be permanent. Considering the contexts under DeathSeeker, it may have been intentional.
** In giving Jaren Ward's weapon to the dead guardian's Ghost, he gave Shin Malphur the motivations to track him down and finally kill him.
* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: The bones of the Knight he killed were cursed by his consort, Xyor, to corrupt Azzir. She succeeded beyond her wildest expectations.
* ThanatosGambit: Shin Malphur ultimately suspects that Yor set one of these up. [[spoiler: He believes that Yor intentionally built Malphur up to be a mighty and skilled Guardian able to wield the Golden Gun and kill him, and would be a Guardian who wields both Light and Dark.]]
* ThatManIsDead: He gave up his original name when he became Dredgen Yor. Even his Ghost finally admits that who he once was is dead when Yor explains how he only helps people so he can crush their hopes later on.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Before his fall, he'd already been hearing the Darkness whispering in his ear for some time. His last thought before becoming Yor was a hope that he'd be remembered for what he used to be, instead of what he'd become.
* WeaponOfChoice: Thorn, a HandCannon corrupted by the Darkness and Hive magic, the spiritual opposite to The Last Word.
* WhatTheHellHero: Pretty much the entire conversation in "Thorn 3", initiated by his Ghost.
* WickedCultured: He is aware that his name means "Eternal Abyss" in a forgotten language.
* UnwittingPawn: Teben Grey/Dredgen Bane, while researching the Weapons of Sorrow, discovered a [[OhCrap disturbing revelation]] that the Weapons exist solely to charter out a future cataclysm of sorts, leading him to believe that Yor and the destruction he left happened not because of Yor's choices or even his dark corruption, but because the Weapons simply set him up as a puppet devastator to leave a mark for the so-called map they are charting out.
* YouMonster: Pretty much what has been told to him by his own Ghost and Jaren Ward's.

[[folder:Wei Ning]]
!!Wei Ning
->''"Yes, we've achieved the objective. And the next. And the... were we supposed to stop attacking?"''

A powerful Titan with a particular enthusiasm for melee combat. Wei Ning participated in the ill-fated battle to retake the Moon from the Hive, and was personally slain by Crota for it. Her death drove her girlfriend Eriana-3 into a revenge-fueled bloodlust.
----

* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler: Subverted. Omar is currently a Hive insect that contains not only Light, but also his soul [[NiceJobFixingItVillain thanks to the Heart of Crota botching an experiment]]. However, this means that he makes for a very effective and very enthusiastic weapon core.]]

* FlayingAlive: According to Eris, he was killed by the Heart of Crota flaying not his skin, but his very Light. She says it was one of the worst things she saw in the Hellmouth. And that's saying a lot. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for the Hive, an accident during this process extracted his entire soul, and his [[BalefulPolymorph resulting transformation into a Light-infused insect]] eventually came to power the Xenophage]].

--"Wei. Will you join my fireteam?"

* KnifeNut: He uses three different knives, all of which he gave names.

* KnifeNut: All Hunters use knives, but the nut part comes in when she says that she was ''eager'' to use her knives on the Hive.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Murdered by Dredgen Yor using Thorn.

* SpiritAdviser: He speaks directly to the player during a special encounter in the Paradox mission, which is only available when that mission is the Daily Story mission.

* Expy: Dredgen Yor can be seen as an expy of Darth Vader since [[FallenHero they both fell from grace in a similar manner]] caused great massacres and mass murders, killed an important figure to someone(in Darth Vader's case... his own mentor, in Dredgen Yor's case, someone else's mentor) and was ultimately killed trying to convert someone to the Dark Side(Luke Skywalker and Shin Malphur) and both names are remembered in disgust

A powerful Titan with a particular enthusiasm for melee combat. Wei Ning participated in the ill-fated battle to retake the Moon from the Hive, and was personally slain by Crota for it. Her death drove her close friend Eriana-3 into a revenge-fueled bloodlust.

* InterserviceRivalry: She really likes to put down Warlocks...especially Pujari, but Eriana may be an exception.

* UltimateBlacksmith: Forged the Fighting Lion Exotic Grenade Launcher, after being goaded by her ghost.

* BrokenSoul: Downplayed, his soul is just fine, but he has been filled with doubt since he had his vision in the Black Garden.

[[/folder]]

* SpeakIllOfTheDead: One of his lines on the Moon suggests he thinks ''very'' poorly of Vell Tarlowe for being first to die in the fireteam. It's understandable, really, considering he was supposed to be TheTank but got mauled by Thralls before they even made it in.
