Destiny 2 has become a massive franchise with an even bigger universe to explore over the years. From exploring moons or boarding warships, even the people we meet along the way have plenty of stories for Guardians to hear. However, some of these characters have been in the franchise for quite a while now, yet we still know hardly anything about them. So today, let’s discuss 10 Destiny 2 characters we are dying to get more backstory for.
Drifter
The Drifter has always been an oddball character to learn about since his introduction in the Forsaken DLC. Over the few years since we’ve met him, we learn small bits and pieces of who he is and how he’s survived for so long — eating Hive and Fallen? Drinking Vex milk?
He has also been associated with other shady characters like the Spider for a long time, so it’s reasonable to assume there have been weird deals with them. Needless to say, the Drifter is easily one of the most unique characters the franchise has ever seen, and learning more about his mysterious past would be quite the thrill.
Lord Shaxx
The overseer of all things crucible, Lord Shaxx has unfortunately been a character who’s never gotten a proper time to shine. Throughout the years in both Destiny 1 and 2, we learn small bits of information regarding Lord Shaxx, specifically his heroic deeds during the collapse.
However, that’s all we really get to know about him, as he’s never had a season or DLC where he was the main focus, unlike other characters. It’s safe to say he’s one of the most beloved characters in the franchise, and it’s about time he had more time to shine so that we can learn about this great Titan.
The Stranger
The Stranger, otherwise known as Elizabeth Bray, has always been a stranger to the Guardians for the most part (no pun intended). Although the Beyond Light DLC saw her return to the franchise for the first time since the base game of Destiny 1, she wasn’t the main focus of the DLC, as Variks and Eramis took that role for the most part.
That said, we know she can travel back and forth between individual timelines and has seen an abundance of horrors from the past. It would be exciting to know more about these dark pasts or futures to help potentially prevent a new one from forming.
Xivu Arath
We never said this list had to be just heroes, as it’s always interesting to learn about your enemies, and the Hive god of war, Xivu Arath, is full of mysteries. For multiple seasons now, Xivu Arath has tried time and time again to take control of the Dreaming City from Mara Sov and failed. Now, he wishes to take control of Rasputin’s network in Season of the Seraph.
However, aside from being the Hive god of war, that’s really all we know about Xivu Arath. Of course, we’ve been aware for a long time that she’s one of the three siblings the Witness had manipulated, Savathun and Oryx being the other two whom we’ve already defeated. With that in mind, a proper confrontation and backstory is overdue with the Hive god of war, and hopefully, we won’t have to wait much longer for it to come to fruition.
