Summary

Early Dark Ages

Rhoan was among the first Risen to be resurrected by a Ghost. Rhoan was frightened and alone. As they stumbled through the wilderness, they fell into the lap of Olaya, a kind-hearted Risen who took them under her wing. The two became quick friends. Rhoan was quick and resourceful, and Olaya brought strength where necessary. Together, the two of them stayed safe and fended Warlords away from the innocent survivors of the Collapse.

They fell in love, but it did not last. Their defense of humanity in defiance of power-hungry Warlords drew the ire of some. Olaya was executed in front of Rhoan by a Warlord known for his violence and cruelty. In response, Rhoan slaughtered him and everyone in his hold until there was nothing left.

Middle Dark Ages

There is a centuries-long hole in Rhoan's memory here. Numbness. They seemed doomed to wander the world like it was purgatory. During this time, they developed most of their skill with a bow and arrow.

Late Dark Ages

The numbness wore off and was replaced by the rage that had been smouldering beneath it for hundreds of years. In a failed attempt at vengeance for Olaya's death, they began to take up bounties on the lives of Lightbearers. It doesn't matter who puts them out - the Fallen, other Lightbearers, regular humans - Rhoan takes them. They just want to crush Ghosts in their fists, taking what was taken from Olaya on her behalf.

They are a murderer. They never let themself forget this.

There are two things that stop them. First, the communication from an enterprising young Warlock, Ikora Rey, asking them to meet her. Second, Anri tells Rhoan that she will leave them if they continue. Rhoan chooses Anri over their life as a killer.

They begin their rehabilitation into society by meeting with Ikora Rey, who is interested in recruiting them to her fledgeling spy ring. She figures that since Rhoan is so good at getting close to other Lightbearers - close enough to murder them with an absurd success rate - that they'll be good as a spy. They agree. It's a welcome distraction.

By this point, the Last City is in its infancy. Rhoan darts in and out at the behest of Ikora, gleaning information when they can. Their life is solitary, but it is much less fraught than it was.

Early City Age

Life continues much the same for a long time. Rhoan does their job. They learn to live with themself again.

Ikora sends them deep into the North American wilderness to gain intel from remote Fallen outposts. In their travels, they find a village of no more than fifty people, barely surviving. They can't bring themself to move on, so they stay. The village is on the brink of extinction, attacked from all sides by Fallen and the ordeals that come from nature. Rhoan, with their dedication and paracausal blessings, is able to keep the village and its people safe. But they can't leave - the village is too far from civilization to walk there. They can't call for help because there are no communications out as far as they are. If they were to leave the village to go find a transmat beacon to use to call for help, they would render the village vulnerable to attack from the Fallen. They are stuck.

They defend the village sleeplessly as they can. Rustling in the woods draws their attention. Fallen, attempting to make an incursion. They are wrong - it's two very, very lost Guardians by the names of Cayde-6 and Andal Brask. The two realize that they've drawn the ire of the Fallen towards Rhoan's village. In an attempt to rectify that, they offer to help Rhoan and their people. With two more Guardians around, they're able to secure a transmat beacon, call for help, and evacuate the villagers to the Last Safe City.

(Rhoan, despite their best efforts, grows fond of these two Guardians. They are kind, if a little annoying.)

Cayde and Andal, knowing Rhoan is a bit of a loner and a misanthrope, offer them a place in their little pack of Hunters they got together to do good outside the purview of the Vanguard. Rhoan accepts.
