The "Guardians" history

After playing Destiny 1 and 2 for over a decade if not more I've come to realize that we know absolutely nothing about our own character. I mean throughout Destiny 1 and 2 we've basically learned all about pretty much all the characters in the game enemies and allies cause in the seasons and dlc's we end up delving into their past but throughout this franchises life the one person's past/history we've never delve into is our own, I mean all we really know when Ghost turned us into a "Guardian" in the Cosmodrome is that he'd been looking for us for a long time and that for some reasons we met some unknown conditions to be reborn. Honestly our character is probably the last and greatest mystery in the game.

  • Back in D1 there was a setup to dive into our background. In Taken King there was some dialogue from Ghost about how we were abnormal, he couldn’t read our mind. Just like how were we abnormally strong and could beat enemies that powerful Hero guardians couldn’t. For a long time everything was canonically attributed to one Guardian then with New Light it became different Guardians and their strength was explained by the Traveler waking up and empowering Light. That was also when they started setting up The Darkness, which they admitted when base D2 released they didn’t know what it was still. So I find the timing to be the answer, my speculation is: As Darkness was originally corrupted Light, our Guardian was likely a champion of Darkness that died during the Collapse. Guardians got memory wiped so we wouldn’t know and would fight for the Traveler. Since we were strong already, we had a leg up in terms of power.
