Guardians and Immortality

Heyo everyone. Muzzy here with a lore theory regarding how Guardians' immortality works. For some time, it has been theorized that Guardians are immortal, meaning that they do not age. And this makes sense. After all, if a Ghost can completely rebuild a Guardian's body, even after disintegration, it stands to reason that they can repair/replace and aging or dying cells. But as of today, with the first Iron Banner of the Rise of Iron expansion, we see this confirmed in the new Iron Banner quest: In Pursuit of Light. [quote]After I left the Banner, my agelessness felt like a burden. -Efrideet[/quote] So we now know for a fact that Guardians don't age. So why does Efrideet sound so much younger than Saladin when they've both been alive for at least 400+ years? [u]I think that the age of a Guardian is entirely dependent upon how old they were when they first died.[/u] If you were in your early sixties when you died, your Ghost would revive you with the appearance of of sixty year-old. This makes sense, given that there is a Titan class item called the 'Old Man's Mark.' This could support why you are able to give your Guardian gray hair. Efrideet was revived in what were most likely her early twenties, explaining why she has such a young voice. But what do you guys think? Think this theory makes sense, or is it all a bunch of baloney? Let me know in the comments. Become Legend, Guardians. Muzzy, out.

  • It may date back before their first death, it might be when they were considered 'touched' by the travellers light. Maybe at that point your body ceases to age , or succumb to illness and instead simply exists, which woulf also put thorn and its 'poisoning' into questions since they are immortal but I wont dive into that mess.
