Toland, the Shattered was a Warlock that was exiled from The Last City due to his obsession with the Hive. He joined the fireteam that attempted to kill Crota, Son of Oryx. He, along with every other Guardian on the team save for Eris Morn, was killed by the Hive.
Biography[]
At some point, he had been exiled for having been thought to have gone mad, due to his ramblings about the Hive.[1] Later, Toland was recruited into a fireteam with Eris Morn during an attempt on Crota's life.[2] He was already quite old by Guardian standards at this time.[1] He was killed by the Hive as the fireteam failed to kill Crota.[3]
While he failed to kill Crota, he did manage to pass on some of his knowledge of the Hive to Eris before his death. With this, she was able to save a Guardian's life when a mission to steal part of Crota's soul went awry. Toland gave the "Emerald Light" bond to Eris so the Hive would think that she was one of them.[4]
