Ghost

“	In its dying breath, The Traveler created the Ghosts to seek out those who can wield its Light as a weapon--Guardians--to protect us and do what the Traveler itself no longer can.
	— The Speaker, Destiny, Restoration

A Ghost construct.

A Ghost is a levitating artificial intelligence used by Guardians. Ghosts support Guardians by performing certain actions such as illuminating darkened areas, hacking Golden Age technology, and informing Guardians of incoming hostile threats. Ghosts also have a navigation mode which locate mission objectives and Faction missions from the Tower.

Ghosts originated from The Traveler's technology and light and seek out their Guardian companions from the ancient dead, reviving them.

Dead Ghost Locations

There are a number of dead Ghosts which can be found in various locations throughout the game. Upon finding one of them, the player can revive it, providing a small XP reward, instantly filling the player's Super Ability meter, and increasing the player's Grimoire score.

Trivia

• Peter Dinklage provides the voice of the Ghost.
• An advertisment for Destiny claimed that Ghosts existed during the Golden Age. This is most likely an error, as all other sources available have stated that the Ghosts were created by the Traveler after the Golden Age ended.
• During the E3 2013 demo, the Ghost sarcastically said, "We always visit such cheerful places." This is possibly a reference to Cortana's line in another of Bungie's games, Halo 2, "You always take me to such nice places."
• Pre-ordering the Limited, Digital Guardian, or Ghost editions of Destiny will enable access to a unique red shell for a player's Ghost, called the "Frontier" shell in the Collector's Edition trailer.
