Paging story experts, Part II [Forsaken Spoilers] (Destiny)

One of my favorite bits of lore outside the history of the Awoken.

The Drifter is modeling a new hand cannon (the Forsaken Exotic “Malfeasance”) after Thorn and intends to arm enough bad guys that maybe they all get cut down by The Last Word “aka, the golden gun “ but he thinks maybe they’ll take out its owner in the exchange as well.

I’d guess the Drifter is not Dredgen Yor, since that would kinda ruin the end of the main The Last Word story, but I think he was influenced in similar ways and is similarly evil. Do note, there were also some Guardians around the time of Rise of Iron who were experimenting with things darkly similar to Hive magic and Thorn. And that Shin Malphur “the man with the golden gun” was investigating such potential corrupt Guardians.

I absolutely love these ongoing stories, and yeah, the Drifter is certainly an interesting addition to things!
