My vote for Osiris, Saint and Uldren to be the next Vanguard trio

Okay. Season of Dawn is about to end, and the best thing about it to some degree was the story. We saved a frickin legend through timetravelling. We were the Avengers and we defeated imaginary Thanos and brought back those we lost during "snap". Why am I bringing this up is the character development between Osiris and Saint. They had more interesting stuff to talk about, Osiris finally didn't seem to be that grumpy mad grandpa that needs a hug, but serious legendary Warlock, who is just incredibly flawed person. But still a man to be respected. Saint on the other hand proved to be incredibly hot-headed and enthusiastic titan persona, who just FITS so much what the general gimmick of titans is. He is badass, he has a great reputation, and he is incredibly charismatic, and warming to interact with. Now tell me, can you say the same thing about Vuvuzela and Ikora? I honestly am not that guy to say that they are empty NPCs without character, they both are characters who went through a lot and actually showed some depth. Especially during Forsaken, where Ikora finally broke her collected persona and exploded with emotions, while Zavala showed some (controversial) wisdom and care. But both these characters now feel almost nothing. After Cayde's death there is no more an interesting person in the room to challenge them into fun and engaging conversations, dialogues that would provoke their characters enough to see them through their NPC status. They feel boring, and they definetly feel distant and depressing when talking to. But Osiris and Saint, they're both a fresh blood, they're far more engaging as characters and Saint especially is warming with how cheerful and enthusiastic he is. And we need someone like him as a Vanguard, characters like these two are those who make us come back for story bits, who make us come back happily into the Tower, just to see them mess around with their Ghost (Osiris and Sagira) or feed actual pigeons, just because! (Saint). They both are inspiring, wise, and feel close to us. And real especially. Osiris messed things up and he is not that legend we all thought he would be based on his own Trials, but I like that he feels very humanly flawed, he is reletable. You know what? Imagine Destiny having it's own god damn Gandalf. That is who Osiris is. He is our Gandalf. I want to have more interactions with Gandalf rather than with emo goblin that Zavala is. And now Uldren, why was he mentioned. Well if any of you read or took interest in Cayde's lore, you know that Cayde was incredibly fun character, Destiny's Deadpool, but his story was rather tragic. He knew about his family and he knew that he used to be a coldblooded murderer in his previous lives, and when he finally could see his son again, he went for it. He is the character of Destiny that everyone could see themselves in, he seemed like channeling the whole fandom in his interactions with this world. Well, and now we know what Uldren feels. He feels the same. He is a tragic character who sacrificed a lot of selfish love just to pay with his life for it. Now ressurected. Doesn't remember anything, but has a memo to recollect some of his past. People around him hate him, and he doesn't know why and feels internal sadness and distancy. The only thing that cares for him is his ghost, while he has to stay hidden to keep his life. There are many people out there who could relate to his new version. To be hated and outcasted because of something they really cannot change, like their past, origins, race, etc. And just as Cayde had his "redemption" arc through lore, so could Uldren. Let Uldren go through his redemption arc to prove himself to Guardians, to finally accept him among us, to be that grounded character that channels our community through. Each of these three characters has enough persona and enough of interesting reputation to be a great Vanguard club that could safely replace tired and depressed Ikora with Zavala. ALSO ALSO: Another reason why to consider this: Osiris is Human. Saint is Exo. And Uldren is Awoken. We would have all 3 races and 3 classes represented. Sounds even more legit, doesn't it?
