So where do the ghosts fit in all this?

Of course as we all know there's the huge theory that we (Guardians) and the Traveler are evil. We are resurrected to blindly do the bidding of the Traveler and Speaker without batting an eye. But what about the mini Travelers... or Ghosts I mean. Where do they fit into all of this? We know they're made from the traveler's light but we don't know what they're conscious of. They can have all the evil knowledge and motives of the Traveler, but at the same time they can possibly be in the dark just as we Guardians are. Another thing to note in that case is that the Ghosts are their own conscious beings as we see throughout the storyline. He has his own little sassy personality and what not. What if he does know what evil quest he is leading us through but maybe even feels his own remorse, being forced by his creator to do as he says. Maybe he's just another manipulative evil AI... Perhaps we aren't the only ones being mislead. Or perhaps Rasputin is our only ally.

  • As far as the grim and cut scenes tell us, the ghosts don't have knowledge about the Traveler or their own creation. Most likely they are acting a defensive protocol until given another command by the Traveler. I would argue they do not have free will because over the course of hundreds of years since the Collapse no Ghost has ever pursued a life other than that of any other ghost. If they truly were free, a small minority of rebellious ghosts should exist.
