So, I wrote lore for my characters because I didn't want to miss my chance to get it down, bring that I've deleted two already.

Needless to say, I've finally decided to add on to that lore and put Rushwind into the family. But that's not all I'm putting in.
Lydia has continued her career as a guardian for the traveler, going as far as to know the speaker as a good friend. Who he is, aside from being the speaker, she does not know, and never asks, but she may be seen from time to time having a cup of tea with the speaker. As her adventures continue into the next three years, she takes into the habit of collecting many different cloaks to choose from. The mantle of Gheleon, Quantum Phoenix Blue, Shattered Vault Cloak, and even her own makeshift scarf are frequented cloaks amongst the six she has kept out the countless she had collected. Some even functioned as dog tags, making that a relatively high count...
She frequently sports different sets of armor alongside her cloaks, an expected action amongst hunters. Her attire usually consists of her favored iron regalia gear, hence the favoured mantle of Gheleon. The Quantum Phoenix was matched with the iron regalia gear in white wash, and she sports the cloak of the astrolord and an Achilles shaded armor for when she partakes in friendly combat amongst the fellow guardians. The shattered Vault Cloak is rarely worn, but she keeps it as a reminder that there was once something the traveler feared. Thanks to the collective effort of the guardians, that particular worry has been abated.
Silver has taken to the fight as a guardian with no real goal. His mother, Lydia had so many achievements and triumphs, yet had never fallen by enemy hand, and he holds that as an inspiration. Though he has no goal, he'd train, he'd be ready to pursue his goal. Well, needless to say, that goal came along with the name of a Mark. In his travels, shortly after having returned from a battle with his usual platoon, he received a Mark known as the Mark of the Pilgrim Guard. Just the name of the Mark was enough to inspire him, and from then fourth, he stood against his enemy with new meaning. The new pinnacle of his drive, he wore it to battle as a walking obelisk. With purpose.
From then fourth, he parted from his platoon, bidding his fellow guardians farewell with promise to return and begun his studies under his great grandfather, Quin Redstar. The old warlock still lived and actively taught as a wise elder. From the teachings of Quin, he learned what his great grandfather learned in battle, what his grandfather was taught by Cayde-6, and he even consulted his mother to learn from her.
From silver's studies, he learned to not fear his enemy, for fear will deter you eventually, no matter what. You don't have to like the enemy. Just respect them. You yourself will make a difference. Even as one, you are still a threat to an armada.
Silver has studied more than fought. After this realisation, he left his studies to fight. Philosophy can only get you so far, battle will get you further. He can now be seen as a generous titan amongst the greatest, comparable to Saint-14, even, and fights as a wall. If he ever falls, he wants to fall protecting someone. And it's getting him very far. He bars the Mark of the Bulwarks to emphasise that.
