Respected among all others, Ikora Rey tutors new Warlocks with a lifetime of hard-earned knowledge.
― In-game description[3]

Ikora Rey is the Last City's current Warlock Vanguard, and is the second Warlock Vanguard overall. She took over the position from her former mentor, the legendary Warlock Osiris, upon his banishment from the city--though she had been performing the duties of the vanguard long before his banishment was made official[4].

In Destiny, Ikora sells a variety of Warlock armor (including Vanguard armor) and emblems. All Guardians can purchase and own these items regardless of their class, but only Warlocks can equip Warlock armor.[3] She is partnered with the Ghost Ophiuchus.

Biography[]

Pre-Vanguard Career[]

Prior to taking on her role as Vanguard, Ikora flew solo reconnaissance missions across the inner solar system and was known for being outspoken. At that time, Invective was her weapon of choice.[5] She is also the only person to have ever beaten Lord Shaxx in a Crucible match.[6] Ikora was mentored by the Warlock Vanguard Osiris.[7]

Warlock Vanguard[]

Ikora was present at the onset of Oryx, the Taken King's arrival in the Solar System. Ikora was also present for the funeral of Cayde-6.[8] Ikora is in charge of a group of guardian agents known as the Hidden, acting as an intelligence and guardian policing organization.

The Red War[]

Support This section lacks information and needs to be expanded.

Ikora and her Ghost, Ophiuchus, were present when the Red Legion attacked the Last City.[9]

Personality[]

Ikora Rey’s personality has many layers to it. To some, she is cold and analytical. To others, she is warm and caring. She has been shown to be more light hearted than Commander Zavala, but not quite as lackadaisical as Cayde-6.

She is a very introspective person, showing that in times of great distress (such as the Red War) she will question herself, and how she can be better.

While outwardly Ikora seems to be the type to overthink everything, according to her Ghost, she is quite the opposite. Her Ghost often needs to act as a balancing force, so that she does not act impulsively or out of emotional distress.
