Immaru is great
Immaru is like a mobster who went into witness protection but is gleefully mocking the efforts of his jailer to take down the rest of his associates. The voice actor (who is great) really gives off the gangster vibe.
I love how Immaru calls out the Guardian for basically being a space John Wick. The Guardian doesn't actually decide almost anything in this game and just acts as an assassin who demolishes hordes of enemies in missions that the Vanguard sends him on, missions that we are assured are for a good cause.
However, Immaru thinks there's more going on here. He says that the Guardian (and Eris) are actually enjoying the bloodshed in the game's missions for its own sake, reveling in the violence once given an excuse to unleash it. And he might actually be right.
The game needs more hard-nosed characters like this who provide a different point of view about how the Guardians function.

The fact Immaru immediately craps himself the first time he's grasped by our Guardian laid bare his flimsy facade and instantly undermined his sanctimonious and hypocritical talking points. Why would you try to make (yet another) character that wants to paint what the Guardian does in less flattering light just to immediately render his words moot? He should know that we can't crush him because we need Savathun, so why does he crumble the very moment that the physical threat is made? Regardless, this writing is hack-y and runs in circles. It's someone pretending to be deep and philosophical. It's r/iamverysmart personified and it's one of the major problems with the Destiny narrative. Every character thinks they're playing 5D chess while they're actually just busy with their underwater basket weaving.
