A truly heroic Guardian needs to be shown some respect.

At the beginning of our journey to become legend we follow in the footsteps of a brave Guardian that blazed the trail ahead. With the work he accomplished, we started down the path to reclaiming our moon, and healing the Traveler. This Guardian died during his trek, but not in vain. We used the intel he and his ghost gathered, and now look at what we've accomplished. We've stopped Phogoth, held off an invasion of Earth, and even defeated Crota! And it is all thanks to an unnamed Guardian that gave his life for the betterment of humanity. You may ask, "Where can I pay my respects to this Guardian?" Well, the answer is startling. He remains in the dirt on the moon. No mission has been mounted to retrieve his body. No plans are in order to build a memorial in his honor. Instead, we step over (or even ON) him each time a Faction sends us on a bounty through the moon, or whenever we need to get 20 double kills with a fusion rifle. To be honest, every time I step through this area I look down at this Guardian. Maybe it's because I'm in the military, maybe it's because I'm overly empathetic--even when it comes to video games, movies, or books. The thing is, it actually REALLY bothers me to see him there in the dirt. Bungie, I'm not currently logged in to Destiny. Please use my ghost, and any of my multiple drop ships to retrieve this Guardian and bring him home. I realize the importance of remembering our past, so I think it would be best to leave something in place on the moon to show that was where our journey truly began. With us thoroughly eradicating the Hive right now, I think a team of engineers can be safely sent to the surface of the moon to build something small at the entrance to the Temple of Crota to show where he fell. Also, there should be something back at the tower to show respect to this Guardian. We should all know his name. Edit: It's great to see people still commenting on this after so long. Couple of different viewpoints on this. Some people are like me and invest themselves in a story and character. Others, when logging on to play Destiny, are just looking for a way to pass the time. I love both; it's why gaming is so great! I get a lot of people saying he was a scrub that died to thralls, so I'll respond to that. First, it's not how he died, but how he lived! Second, the Speaker surely didn't tell him anything he needed to know to prepare for the mission. And if his Ghost was as dumb as ours is, it probably tripped an alarm and alerted the enemy to his whereabouts. All of our Guardians have had a death via thrall. We are just lucky our Ghost wasn't stolen before it could revive us.

        • I never even realized how disrespectful I was. This guardian died so we could stop the shrine of oryx...an ancient hive machine communicating with a powerful God whose son destroyed our armies and stole our moon. A mission that the Exo stranger saw our true potential and turned us on to the Vex threat. Which culminated in us looting the vault of glass and destroying the heart of the black garden. This Guardian deserves better, Bungie. [spoiler]also bring back Randal the Vandal[/spoiler]

        • I stop and kneel over him every time I head that way. It's disgraceful that he was left to rot like the astronauts on the moon and the loot cave remains. He should at least have a story from Eris to tell of his bravery or a monument in the tower. *sniffs* those hive bastards

        • Possible he's just human garbage from the Golden Age? No air or water makes for slow tissue deterioration.

            Bounty tracker told me that guy was a total d-bag. Always starting fist fights with pacifists, constantly singing "Let it Go" without pause, hogging the jay, and always refusing to chip in when the bill came after a group dinner. He was also pretty racist. Apparently Bounty Tracker sent him over there intentionally on a fake mission to get lost and die. The fact that he scratched the surface of something huge was a total fluke.

            • Respect, SGT, US Army, 36ID, F Co 2-149 AVN RGT. Salute to the "Unnamed Guardian" and all those who fell before us, here and in the real world. Hooah!

            • Although it's just an empty shell (the hive took the body and sucked out the light) the armour should be recovered.

              While I doubt bungie is capable of this level of storytelling, perhaps it's meant, or was in the original story, rather, as another red flag that things aren't what they seem. Everyone says that the guardians are the last line of defense, repeatedly sacrificing themselves for the greater good, and what do we get? Burial with high honors? No. They leave us where we lie, as those that come after us dip their taints in our faces. The Vanguard and the Speaker do not respect or even value us. We are a means to an end and nothing more.

              • My friend desecrates his remains every time we do that mission. Doesn't matter how long you been dead, a troll will find a way to T-Bag your remains. It's like going to a cemetery and dip dip potato chip each grave.

                  • A simple thing, perhaps, but it would go far towards giving Destiny a sense of life and realism. I agree that this poor soul should be honored, for his efforts, for his sacrifice.
