Vanguard

Vanguard is a speculated and unconfirmed player class, faction, rank, or other group of players. The Vanguard was referred to as a player class in at least one write-up of the Reveal Press Conference, but another media source referred to "Vanguard" as a type of armor. Bungie's official Destiny information page, on the other hand, contains several references to "awaiting reports from the Vanguard", but does not explain the term any further.
